The Ray and Dagmar Dolby Regeneration Medicine Building, which was recently unveiled by the University of California, San Francisco.

新的Ray和Dagmar Dolby再生医学大楼证明了科学不一定是干燥的，它是一个由外部坡道、楼梯和相互连接的体积组成的令人吃惊的蛇形网络。

这座建筑坐落在一个陡峭的山坡上-在一个地震肆虐的城市里-是建筑中的一个决定性因素。

每层楼都有一个屋顶花园，形成森林和校园交汇处的过渡空间。

The Rafael Viñoly Architects-designed structure will be the headquarters of the Eli and Edythe Broad Centre of Regeneration Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCSF.

The building's location on a steeply sloping hillside - in a city plagued by earthquakes - was a defining element in its construction

The architects' circuitous use of stairways and sloping walkways maximises all available space and ensures a fluid and cohesive whole.

The external walkways also take advantage of the moderate local climate.

The complex is supported by steel space trusses and concrete piers, specifically engineered to absorb earthquakes through seismic base isolation.

Each floor of the building features a roof garden  

Inside the centre, open-plan floors connect the 125 labs
