CERN Research Center/ Geneva Generating the atmosphere of permanently linked and networked exchange of knowledge in a science and research dedicated building all the way down to the most important and initial item of CERN, the LHC Tunnel as representation of what this science is about by translating scientific terms into an architectural language. In the past research buildings have been mostly detached from architectural issues and have become hard to distinguish from generic office buildings. Historically Science and Research facilities derive from rather elitist typologies like monasteries and later from University Campuses, on which many of recent projects still relate to. But nowadays Science- and especially at CERN- has become a knowledge distributing all over the world using the internet and thus being accessible to many more people, even out of the field. In contrast to a monastery building type this project is conceived as a public accesible building dealing with intersections creating spatial interfaces to visually connect but physically separate. Based on the rules of interactions in Particles this project translates these into architecture. Gravity and lightness control the relation to the ground carving into it as well as the relation of the ground to the sky.
The magnetic forces of attraction and repulsion depending on the charge detach programm (public exhibition spaces to intimate research spaces) creating voids, intersections and thus as the melting point an interface between the two types of programm inhabiting the conference center and the shared library/media center. |
