Design For Speculative Science

Information

Design-for-Speculative-Science_hero.jpg

SME SciTech businesses and innovation start-ups are increasingly setting up within city-scale science ecosystems to take advantage of information and data from larger enterprises in their proximity. But as demand for lab and office space currently outweighs supply, a lack of specialised, multifunctioning buildings limits options for start-ups.

The solution is clear – to design and build facilities that provide multiple requirements for multiple tenants with inbuilt AI, flexible enough to cater for an unknown end-user.

We have created an animation, Design for Speculative Science, to illustrate how a capable and adaptable base build laboratory space can act as the integrated base structure on which to dock modular add-ons to accommodate diverse occupiers. Starting with an efficient grid, it demonstrates how the positioning of cores and careful zoning can ensure flexibility, enabling start-ups to scaleup and undertake more demanding science in situ rather than relocate.
