弗朗西斯?克里克研究所由六家世界領(lǐng)先的醫(yī)學(xué)研究和學(xué)術(shù)機(jī)構(gòu)共同投資創(chuàng)辦,是歐洲規(guī)模最大的生物醫(yī)學(xué)和成果轉(zhuǎn)化研究中心之一。
研究所以發(fā)現(xiàn)DNA結(jié)構(gòu)的著名科學(xué)家弗朗西斯?克里克( Francis Crick)命名,研究所的成立本身也是一次世界一流機(jī)構(gòu)間協(xié)同合作的里程碑。參與的機(jī)構(gòu)包括英國(guó)最大的三所生物醫(yī)學(xué)研究基金--英國(guó)醫(yī)學(xué)研究理事會(huì)、英國(guó)癌癥研究中心、英國(guó)惠康基金會(huì);以及三所頂尖大學(xué)--英國(guó)倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院、倫敦大學(xué)帝國(guó)學(xué)院和倫敦大學(xué)國(guó)王學(xué)院。
研究所座落在倫敦市中心,占據(jù)一整個(gè)城市街區(qū),外墻由鋼、玻璃和陶板幕墻覆蓋,與周邊的歷史建筑形成鮮明的形象對(duì)比和視覺(jué)沖擊。大型懸挑式飄窗以及挑高的玻璃中庭緩減了建筑物對(duì)街道的影響,同時(shí)將自然光引進(jìn)辦公場(chǎng)所和公共區(qū)域。為減少建筑物的外露體量,三分之一的建筑結(jié)構(gòu)設(shè)置在地底,而弧形的穹頂將大樓柔和的一面呈現(xiàn)于社區(qū)。
設(shè)計(jì)鼓勵(lì)生物學(xué)家、化學(xué)家、物理學(xué)家、工程師、計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)家和數(shù)學(xué)家等跨專(zhuān)業(yè)研究人員在不同學(xué)科之間的協(xié)作和互動(dòng)。
大樓通過(guò)兩個(gè)中庭被劃分成四個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)室區(qū)域,中庭在建筑物中心交叉形成一個(gè)可以供休憩或非正式合作的匯聚空間,內(nèi)部有一個(gè)大的中央樓梯以及為整個(gè)樓層服務(wù)的禮賓區(qū)。人行步道和非正式會(huì)議空間縱橫交錯(cuò)在兩個(gè)前庭之間,將不同實(shí)驗(yàn)室區(qū)域相連。

實(shí)驗(yàn)室區(qū)域的設(shè)計(jì)靈活機(jī)動(dòng),以滿足隨著研究的進(jìn)展不斷變化的空間需求。一個(gè)高度集中的服務(wù)分配系統(tǒng)可以確保在不同的空間組合模式下,可以像組裝零部件一樣隨時(shí)將預(yù)先確定的空間模塊放進(jìn)主服務(wù)體系中,以滿足不同使用的需求。
HOK于2008年獲邀成為該項(xiàng)目的建筑師和主設(shè)計(jì)師,負(fù)責(zé)為項(xiàng)目提供整體建筑設(shè)計(jì)、室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)和景觀設(shè)計(jì)。PLP 作為幕墻顧問(wèn)于2010年加入項(xiàng)目,與HOK一起共同打造大樓獨(dú)特而引人注目的建筑形態(tài)。

“A fantastic state-of-the-art new home for the Crick has been built ... it will be the discoveries we make here that cement our place in London, in the UK and at the forefront of science worldwide.” - Sir Paul Nurse, Director of Francis Crick Institute
Six leading medical research and educational organizations have partnered to form the Francis Crick Institute, one of Europe’s largest biomedical and translational research centers. Named after Francis Crick, the scientist who helped discover the structure of DNA, the institute is a landmark partnership between the UK’s three largest funders of biomedical research—the Medical Research Council, Cancer Research UK and the Wellcome Trust—and three of its leading universities: University College London, Imperial College London and King’s College London.
Located in central London, the steel, glass and terra-cotta clad building occupies a full city block and creates strong architectural links to historic local buildings. Large cantilevered bay windows and tall glass atria reduce the building’s impact at street level and maintain natural light in workspaces and public areas. To reduce its visible mass, one-third of the structure is below ground, while the curved roof presents a gentle face to the community.
The design encourages collaboration and interaction among multidisciplinary researchers including biologists, chemists, physicists, engineers, computer scientists and mathematicians. The facility is divided into four “l(fā)aboratory neighborhoods” connected by two atria. The atria cross at the center of the building to create a hub with break areas, informal collaboration space, a large central stair and a concierge serving the entire foor. Walkways and informal meeting areas crisscross the main atrium and connect neighborhoods.
The atria bring daylight into all of the labs and other spaces while enhancing the visibility of people throughout the building and between foors. Glass walls allow for views into labs, promoting transparency and openness. Unless specific functions require closed walls, lab neighborhoods are open to encourage interaction.
Designed with flexibility, lab neighborhoods can support rapid reconfiguration as research programs change. A centralized service distribution system enables a kit-of-parts approach in which predetermined components can be plugged into service spines in different combinations.
In 2008, HOK was appointed architect and ?lead designer responsible for the project’s overall design concept, interior design and landscape architecture. PLP was selected in 2010 to collaborate with HOK in shaping the building’s distinctive form and striking architectural expression.
