The New Architecture of Science explores how the architecture of advanced nanoscience buildings affects the way scientists think, conduct experiments, interact and collaborate. The unique design of the National Graphene Institute building in Manchester, UK sheds light on the architecture of the new generation of scientific buildings. Weaving together two tales of this building, lead scientist Kostya Novoselov and architectural anthropologist Albena Yaneva combine an analysis of the distinctive design features with ethnographic observation of how scientists, building managers, industry people, lab technicians, administrators and house service staff use the building. Capturing simultaneously the complex technical infrastructure of this science lab and the variability of human experiences that it facilitates, contemporary laboratory buildings are shown to be vital settings for the active shaping of new research habits and ways of thinking, ultimately leading to discovery and socio-technical innovations.Drawing on a detailed account of "the social life" of the graphene building, the authors offer an original interpretation of the mutual shaping of architecture and science at the intersection of architectural theory, science studies and cognitive anthropology.The book will appeal to the academic faculty from different disciplines seeking to develop a more comprehensive perspective of the built environment in its complexity of material and social meanings and to students from architecture, design and urban studies, science and technology studies, and science communication programmes.Key Features• The book captures an array of participants in design and in the use of scientific buildings. In addition to the "usual suspects" featured in studies of scientific design (the scientists and the architects), we encounter lab technicians, facility managers, gas room and storage room technicians, porters, admin people, experimental officers, house attendants, events managers. Picturing the world of the graphene building as inhabited by all these "unsung heroes" provides a novel (more inclusive) understanding of how science architecture functions.• The study of the NGI help us to successfully redefine the very meaning of multidisciplinarity. Far from being a discursive exchange of ideas, multidisciplinarity, we witness in this book, emerges while sharing spaces and equipment, rubbing shoulders at the lab benches, reading results together or writing on the black walls. This is a novel aspect compared to the many accounts that focus on communication and collaboration as based on purely subjective interactions• The book illustrates a new methodological approach for understanding the architecture of the new generation of scientific buildings (that is, a slow ethnography that pays equal attention to human and nonhuman participants in science labs). It advocates an equal attention to the intricate design and technical infrastructure and to the variability of human experience that it facilitates
