Winner of Architectural Competition for Tel Aviv University Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Centre

Tel Aviv University has announced the winning project of the Open International Competition for the new Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Centre. The project of French studio Atelier d'Architecture Michel Remon, famous for its works for research centers in France, was selected as the winner.

"The final choice of the Nano building reflects the synergy between the technical needs defined by the research teams and our desire to provide an open and welcoming research environment," commented Joseph Klafter, President of Tel Aviv University. "I have no doubt that the new building will help inspire outstanding research and global collaborations."

The project for Tel Aviv University presents a matrix of vertical lines creating a "skin" covering the three-storey building. The structure will enable natural light control and balance out the interior-exterior ratio. Visually, the building will not feature windows or doors. Among the energy efficiency solutions suggested by the company is special glass to optimize sun energy, natural ventilation, solar panels to cool the building and a rainwater collection system. The building has an area of 6000 sq. m and it is planned to be completed by 2020.
