The intervention area, the south part of the Osaka70 Expo site, is developed in such a way that would cater to these synergies. Innovation systems, apart from the regional, national, multinational or organizational level, can be apparent too at the constructed environment, at an architectural level per se. The unified, programmatically enriched complex, constituting the proposed research pharmaceutical campus, would promote increasingly intricate collaborations across the three different disciplines and would allow for internal transformation within each of these disciplines. This overall structure of the campus is made up of individual buildings, each one considered as a module to this aggregation, as the cell to an organism. Depending on the evolution phase of the masterplan, units can be recombined and each unit can participate in a different programmatic entity, reflecting the particular phase’s needs. This allows for infinite planimetric and volumetric iterations that can best serve the desired program. Each entity can be saturated or desaturated accordingly in time, maximizing the campus’ flexibility to adapt to changing programmatic needs.
CV
Constantine Bouras
Architect and urbanist, currently practicing in New York. He holds a professional degree in Architecture from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece and a Master of Architecture in Urban Design from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, where he studied as a scholar of the Hellenic State and the Onassis Foundation. He has worked in architectural firms in Athens, Milan and New York, as well as for the City of Athens. He was a Harvard fellow researcher for the Government of Mexico City. He has taught design studio at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Design. His research focuses on the intersection of architectural and urban processes, and their systemic structures across scales.
Timothée Boitouzet
Architect, urban designer and researcher, with professional experience in Europe, Asia, America and Africa. He received his Master of Architecture II degree from Harvard University Graduate School of Design as the recipient of several awards from the Fulbright, Arthur Sachs, Gaillard and HFSF foundations. He also holds a professional Master of Architecture degree with distinction from the National Superior School of Architecture in Versailles. Researching at the boundary between architecture and biology, his interests stress the combination of nature and technology to create new design trajectories and innovations. His cross-disciplinary research led him to collaborate with the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, Harvard Evolutionary Biology and Chemistry departments, as well as the High-Low Tech research group at MIT Media Lab.
