The Architecture of Science offers a dazzling set of speculations by historians of science, architecture, and art; architectural theorists; and sociologists as well as practicing scientists and architects.How do the spaces in which science is done shape the identity of the scientist and the self-conception of scientific fields? How do the sciences structure the identity of the architect and the practice of architecture in a specific period? And how does the design of spaces such as laboratories, hospitals, and museums affect how the public perceives and interacts with the world of science? The Architecture of Science offers a dazzling set of speculations on these issues by historians of science, architecture, and art; architectural theorists; and sociologists as well as practicing scientists and architects. The essays are organized into six sections: Of Secrecy and Openness: Science and Architecture in Early Modern Europe; Displaying and Concealing Technics in the Nineteenth Century; Modern Space; Is Architecture Science?; Princeton after Modernism: The Lewis Thomas Laboratory for Molecular Biology; and Centers, Cities, and Colliders.
