At the heart of a development Scientific Park “Y-Parc”, at Yverdon-les-Bains, the new building CEI 3 offers flexible surfaces to be rented according to the needs of companies wishing to develop research activities relating with new technologies. It finalises the trilogy initiated by the ECA, the investor, in order to contribute to the technological development of Canton Vaud’s northern region. The CEI 1, offered since 1991, the possibility for young “start up” companies to use fully equipped surfaces for developing their projects.
In 2008 the CEI 2 building was added, in order to ensure better services for the other sector entities.

As laboratory architect for the University of Alabama’s (UA) newest building on a growing Science and Engineering Complex, architecture firm Lord, Aeck & Sargent(LAS) was faced with a challenge: program and design 85 highly diverse laboratory spaces in a structure that had to fit within the footprint and site prescribed by a master plan.
Primarily we aimed to create the Architectural Order like Cloud Computing.
An architecture which can transform own spaces flexibly will apply to any requirement.
Aron is a company manufacturing plastic goods, for example pipes for building facilities, objects for elders care, some materials for other products and so on.The correct name of the company is “Aron Kasei”. Kasei means chemical manufacture in Japanese. This R&D center is expected to gather various functions from their old Laboratories, and to provide a place to create new ideas and to heighten their sensitivity with brainstorms.The site is located along Nagoya Bay where Japanese huge industries are gathering.
The IHSM (Subtropical and Mediterranean Horticulture Institute) in Malaga is an international leading center of research excellence at the University of Malaga and the CSIC (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas). The new center will be an important pole of research in Europe. With 10.000m2, incorporates the most advanced strategies in energy efficiency and sustainability.
KABC’s vision for the development of the innovative office and research center in the Hai Chuang Yuan Community reflects the goals of the new high technology research campus, which promotes a new paradigm for research and development campuses in the region. Sustainability is at the core of the architectural expression, encompassing environmental, social, economic and cultural sustainability by fostering community and promoting new techniques and technologies.
Nunnmps, Chicago is an information technology system development, security and service office. The site is located in South Chicago, bordering Lake Michigan.
The project consists of a 50,000 square meter design and research studio in addition to surrounding public open space and natural landscape. One third of the building encompasses the design and research studios and support areas. Since the studio projects are of a strategic nature and highly confidential, the building is lifted above ground, high above the crowns of trees, floating like clouds, overlooking the distant skyline. The remaining two thirds of the office space exist within its subterrain. It accommodates a reception area and a large open administration office with mushroom-like cores penetrating the ground to connect both parts of the Nunnmps.
Woodhead designed the Pinnacles Desert Discovery Centre to experience the unique role of fire, both culturally and environmentally, as part of its design and construction process.
The evocative gesture of ritual burning introduces this specific practice into contemporary Australian architecture. The burning and the burnt remains are integral to the scheme and highlight the relationship between fire, the land and its inhabitants.

The Beaty Biodiversity Centre and the Aquatic Ecosystems Research Laboratory are located on Main Mall, the central north/south spine of the University of British Columbia. Together they form a complex of related environmental science functions; a new campus precinct organized around a generous exterior courtyard space which is bisected by new cross-campus pedestrian and bicycle connections.
Project: Beaty Biodiversity Centre / Aquatic Ecosystems Research Laboratory
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia
Project Team: Greg Boothroyd, Michael Cunningham, Joanne Gates, Samantha Hayes, Maureen Kwong, Thomas Lee, Davis Marques, Patrick O’Sullivan, John Patkau, Patricia Patkau, David Shone
Model Makers: Oliver Birett, Anike Duffner, Gregory Graemiger, Julianne Heinrich, Craig Simms, Christian Schulte, Jan Rasche, Tokimi Ota
Our architectural vision for a center focused on technical and environmental concerns endeavors to create an organic form – a structure capable of continual expansion and transformation – rising as a cellular structure of crystalline forms from the desert landscape – a strong protective outer shell concealing soft, porous sheltered courtyards within.
