HAUPTMAN-WOODWARD
RESEARCH INSTITUTE Buffalo, NY
For
their new research laboratory on the Buffalo-Niagara medical campus,
the Hauptman-Woodward Institute's challenge to the Yazdani Studio team
was three-fold: to make science visible, to demystify the work of scientists;
and to encourage interaction among scientists, whose work is typically
performed in isolation. The 700-square foot building, consisting of a
curved office wing and a square laboratory block with a glass atrium
joining
the two, was completed in early 2005.
