Habitat Lab: the laboratory as fields
The whole building is conceived as a laboratory. Experimentation goes beyond rooms and laboratories.  The design calls for a flexible and open innovative building, which hold the potential to develop over the time and graft with the existing context. Saint-Gobain S.A. is a French multinational corporation, founded in 1665. Originally a mirror manufacturer, nowadays produces a variety of construction and high-performance materials. LIN was selected to design a multifunctional research complex which would become a new landmark in Aubervilliers, the outskirt of Paris, current in an urban evolution process.
