– Freedom
In the clinical laboratory is an information gallery that is open to the public and can be viewed by everyone. There is a space that provides an area where students and researchers can freely interact.
– Originality
The glass constructed curtain wall is precisely suspended in air almost as if it were a piece of furniture. Taking into consideration the fact that this will be taken apart, the aluminum sandwiched panels are all the same size.
– Beauty
The see-through mesh filter and the anti-IR glass reflect onto the curtain wall suspended from the top, giving the west facing side a functional beauty.
