"Building for 21st Century Science examines how changing pedagogies<br><br>in science education and research are reflected in the buildings that<br><br>house them. The book presents case studies, with a Foreword by<br><br>a distinguished research scientist and Nobel Laureate specialised in the<br><br>field of Genetics. The Foreword speaks to the trend among the scientific<br><br>community to engage in inter-disciplinary research in collaborative work<br><br>settings. Examples are drawn from the work of Mitchell|Giurgola Architects<br><br>and reflect the complex interactions among technology, diverse areas of<br><br>investigation, collaboration and amenity. The book examines the critical role<br><br>that architecture can play in synthesising them.<br><br>Building for 21st Century Science features six projects by Mitchell|<br><br>Giurgola Architects: NYU School of Medicine, Columbia, Cornell,<br><br>Stony Brook and Rockefeller Universities and Norwalk Community<br><br>College. Accompanied by a series of illustrated essays and a<br><br>compendium of over 60 science buildings developed by the firm,<br><br>the book reveals the logic and changes developing in this sector<br><br>by a leading practice in the field."
