Explore the fascinating trend of luxurious, resort-style scientific laboratories in ‘Laboratory Lifestyles’. This richly illustrated book from The Bookish Owl delves into how the recent boom in high-end research facilities, complete with architectural marvels and upscale amenities, influences scientific discovery. Are these ‘lifestyle science’ environments truly fostering innovation, or do they distract from the core work? Through architectural, economic, social, and scientific lenses, this engaging read examines laboratories from Xerox PARC to Biosphere 2, questioning the evolving nature of scientific practice. Discover how these experimental spaces and their associated lifestyles are as much a part of the experiment as the science itself.
