Innovative, Scientific, and Educational Complexes. High-Tech Architecture

Abstract

The article provides some characteristics of the high-tech architectural style, demonstrating the role of modern innovative technologies and techniques in creating space. Several properties of the high-tech style architecture are noted, which fully meet the functional and spatial requirements of objects of innovative, scientific and educational purposes.

Outwardly, this is a figurative expressiveness, symbolizing progress, high technologies and innovations, aesthetics of technical equipment and the functioning of the process. But the architecture of this style is inherent in many qualities that are integral principal properties of innovative scientific and educational activities. Masters of architecture, working in the high-tech style, and primarily Nicholas Grimshaw, create complexes that combine humanism and functionalism, functional and spatial flexibility and transformability, the interconnection of all elements of the scientific process, a thoughtful balance between the possibilities of interdisciplinary cooperation and the provision of individual identity to users, restraint of decor, increased attention to detail, quality and interpenetration of architectural solutions and landscape. Such facilities combine a new approach to organizing the research space, environmentally sustainable development and passive energy design, and a high aesthetic level. Such an architecture contributes to improving the efficiency of research and innovation, their prospective transformation and adaptability, initiates new models of technological innovation, research and training.
