Novartis Laboratory Building
David Chipperfield Architects
The colonnade is a recurring theme in David Chipperfield’s architecture and here it adds a classical seriousness to this laboratory of the future for the pharmaceutical company Novartis; it also picks up on the use of the device in neighbouring buildings. The load-bearing pre-cast multi-angular concrete columns extend to all the building’s façades and structure, with 27 metre beams giving column-free interiors for flexible working arrangements. Services are also neatly incorporated into these beams.
There is poetry in the simplicity of this arrangement but it is further enhanced by the commissioning of a three storey yellow sculptural stair from Ross Lovegrove and by the installation by Serge Spritzer in the garden that is enclosed by the 5th, top storey.
