David Chipperfield - Novartis Campus Fabrikstrasse 22

Laboratory buildings are usually technoid-industrial in character and rarely have an aesthetic aspect of high rank, except on the Novartis Campus in Basel. Here British architect Davis Chipperfield has designed a laboratory building with an open spatial structure which takes into account the latest concepts in laboratory technology and interdisciplinary collaboration and is aesthetically impressive in appearance.
