BUILDING PART 3 UNIVERSITY OF AMSTERDAM SCIENCE CENTRE FNWI St. Annapolder / Kruislaan, Amsterdam
The University of Amsterdam is realizing the Faculty of Science (FNWI) in the St. Annapolder, Watergraafsmeer. After judging the limited competition the panel selected to combine the designs of three participating architects. As a result a design consortium was formed lead by Rudy Uytenhaak as the coordinating architect together with the offices of Herman Hertzberger and Meyer and Van Schooten.
The new science building is designed as a whole and internally divided into four sections. Parts 1 and 4 designed by Uytenhaak, part 2 by Hertzberger and part 3 by Meyer en Van Schooten. The substructure contains public func- tions, the superstructure accommodates the more private functions of the various research institutes, the labora- tories and offices. The new science centre will combine a variety of different faculties currently located on many locations around Amsterdam into one single building. Therefore it is a critical that the design of the new building provides a unified front to the user and visitor.
Part 3, designed by Meyer and Van Schooten, has three sections. The first is the complete ground floor which is equipped with modern facilities for the Technical Department, Purchase and supply rooms. These essential pro- cesses become visible because the façade is largely made of glass. On the first floor of part 3 the library and read- ing room are situated making this the most public area. The accompanying spaces flow into each other creating a great 'landscape' where the students can concentrate on their study or interact with other students. The study centre can be reached via a wide stairway in the entrance hall, which is the central spine of the buildings. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor mainly contain laboratories and offices. Flexibility of these spaces were the starting-point of the design since research processes are continuously subject to change.

Washington DC - Foggy Bottom: National Academy of Sciences - Einstein Memorial
Image by wallyg
The Einstein Memorial, sculpted by Robert Berks, was dedicated on April 22, 1979 at the southwest corner of the grounds of the National Academy of Sciences at 2101 Constitution Avenue. The full-length bronze figure of Albert Einstein is seated, with manuscript papers in hand, on a semicircular three-step bench carved from Mt. Airy white granite and emerald pearl granite.
The memorial was financed by over 5,000 contributors and commemorates the centennial of the birth of the scientist. It was sculpted in 19 sections and then welded together. . The sculpture, based on a portrait bust sculpted from life in 1952, weighs 7,000 pounds and would stand 21 feet high. Einstein's papers are inscribed with the mathematical equations for the photoelectric effect; the theory of general relativity; and the equivalence of energy and matter.
The statue and bench are at one side of a circular dais, 28 feet in diameter, made from emerald-pearl granite from Larvik, Norway. Embedded in the dais, at Einstein's right foot, is a celestial map designed with the help of Seidelmann and Schmidt, U.S. Naval Observatory astronomers. The map, intended by the artist as a reminder that the universe was Einstein's laboratory, features more than 2,700 metal studs representing the location of astronomical objects at noon on April 22, 1979 when the memorial was dedicated. Different studs denote binary stars, spectroscopic binaries, pulsars, globular clusters, open clusters, and quasars.
The National Academy of Sciences (NAS), created in 1863 by President Abraham Lincoln, is a corporation whose members serve pro bono as "advisers to the nation on science, engineering, and medicine." The marble-clad headquarters building was designed by Bertram Goodhue in 1924 and has been continuously occupied by the NAS.
