“A good book is the purest essence of a human soul.” –Thomas Carlyle
Synopsis
How do the spaces in which science is done shape the identity of the scientist andthe self-conception of scientific fields? How do the sciences structure the identity of thearchitect and the practice of architecture in a specific period? And how does the design of spacessuch as laboratories, hospitals, and museums affect how the public perceives and interacts with theworld of science? The Architecture of Science offers a dazzling set of speculations on these issuesby historians of science, architecture, and art; architectural theorists; and sociologists as wellas practicing scientists and architects. The essays are organized into six sections: |Of Secrecy andOpenness: Science and Architecture in Early Modern Europe|; |Displaying and Concealing Technics inthe Nineteenth Century|; |Modern Space|; |Is Architecture Science?|; |Princeton after Modernism: TheLewis Thomas Laboratory for Molecular Biology|; and |Centers, Cities, and Colliders.|
