Architects of a world in motion
Important figure in the Gerland district of Lyon, this building serves as a showcase for French research in biotechnology. In its diverse surroundings, it stands out with a canopy that marks the welcoming entrance plaza.
In detail
It houses all the technical requirements essential for research: wet laboratories, clean rooms, hot rooms, and an animal facility. Inside, a double helix of DNA forms the structure of the double-spiral staircase, a metaphor for the institute's function. It is visible from the street, running the full height of the building.
