Science of the Small: Nanotechnology Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C.

This thesis is an attempt to explore post industrial society and how modern industry can become part of the urban experience. Through the design of a nanotechnology research laboratory, I was able to discover a connection between modern architecture and nanotechnology which revolved around the topics of scale, layering and revealing.
