digipath 实验室丨墨西哥墨西哥城丨Zeller & Moye

digipath实验室是墨西哥首个完全自动化的数字病理学实验室，能够对人体组织进行数字化分析从而精确诊断疾病。该实验室坐落在某办公大楼的顶层，从室内可以欣赏到整个墨西哥城的景色。

digipath lab is the first fully automated digital pathology laboratory in Mexico offering precision diagnostics on human tissue to identify illnesses. The premises of the laboratory occupy the top floor of an office tower with views across Mexico City.

实验室内部空间沿线性排布，总体呈围廊式。一系列实验与办公空间由透明的玻璃隔墙细分出来，这种设置不仅使不同区域之间保持独立，同时又保证了室内的最大可见性，使整个空间序列一目了然。

The lab’s interior is designed along one continuous route in the form of an enfilade. A series of spaces is subdivided by extra clear glass separating the different program zones from each other whilst ensuring maximal visibility across the sequence of rooms.

弧形接待台与长凳形成入口区域，接待区一侧的服务器设备室透过全高的玻璃墙暴露在人们的视野中，这些通常隐藏在黑暗存储空间中的设备，在数字病理学实验室里被誉为“看得见的大脑”。由接待空间开始，空间的属性由公共逐渐过渡至私密，公共区域包括会议室与办公室，私密区域则为实验室操作区。通透的玻璃材质为工作区域创造出极佳的自然采光条件，同时反映出digipath实验室开放透明的工作理念。

A curved desk for the receptionist and a bench for visitors form the entrance area that at the same time overlooks the adjacent server room behind full height glazing. What normally remains invisible and hidden in a dark storage space gets displayed as the ‘brain on view’ of the digital pathology lab. The visitor moves through the different spaces on a gradient from public to private starting at the reception, passing through the meeting areas and the offices, until arriving at the area of laboratory operations. The transparency across the various zones maximises natural illumination for the working areas and it reflects the open and transparent approach of the lab to the visitors and employees.

室内空间具有高度的灵活性，可移动的玻璃门可以将办公区域连接在一起，形成更大的空间，用于工作坊与集体活动；此外，专为实验室设计的可移动钢框架家具也可以同时满足独立工作或团队合作的需求。为了最大限度地利用现有建筑结构中相对较低的房间高度，建筑师摒弃了传统的吊顶，转而将综合服务设备隐藏在房间周围的连续橱柜墙内。所有必要的次要元素，例如：电气设备、投影屏幕、厨房设备，以及存储空间等都容纳在线性的橱柜元素中，进而为室内所有区域创造出整洁统一的外观。

The interior is flexible. Retractable glass walls allow the office areas to be joined together into a larger space for workshops and events; furthermore movable steel frame furniture that was specifically designed for the lab enables individual or group work. In order to maximise the relatively low room height of the existing building structure, the use of a traditional suspended ceiling was dismissed in favour of fully integrated services that run hidden inside a continuous cupboard wall at the perimeter of all rooms. All necessary secondary elements such as electrical equipment, projection screens, kitchenettes, and storage are accommodated inside the linear cupboard element resulting in a clean and consistent look throughout all areas.

实验室操作区围绕一个独立的中岛组织，中岛集成了各种专业检测仪器，分析工作则在围绕中岛周围的回廊式空间中进行。中岛上专业仪器的摆放顺序极为考究，严谨地遵循了检测实验流程，以确保工作人员能够在实验室内进行有效的移动，避免路线交叉。由于所有的实验室设备都集成在中岛上，因此，实验操作区的立面与边缘空间得以解放出来，大面积的玻璃将充足的自然光线引入实验室，同时为工作人员提供了广阔的城市视野。

The laboratory operations are designed to take place around a free-standing ‘island’ where the lab staff works on specialist equipment. The analytical works are executed on a circular route around the central element. The exact placement of the equipment within the ‘island’ followed a careful analysis of the sequence of laboratorial processes in order to ensure an efficient progressive movement of the staff within the lab avoiding the crossing of routes. Thanks to the concentration of all laboratory equipment in one central element the facade remains unobstructed allowing for a generous ingress of natural light into the lab and offering views to the city.

白色贯穿了整个项目空间，包括：高光泽的树脂地板、白色天花板、涂漆内置家具，这些白色元素使自然采光的效果更加明显。此外，空间中现有的柱子都被通高的镜面遮盖起来，进一步增强了室内日光的反射。天花板上的LED灯带在对自然光起到补充作用外，还将所有空间联系起来，弯曲的形态加强了空间的连续性，并为实验室的专业工作提供了均匀的照明。工作桌采用了可移动模块化的设计，可以进行多种配置组合。纤薄的钢板与轻巧的结构力求将家具对空间的视觉影响降到最低。相比之下，接待区内的固定家具则如同从地面上生长出来一般，与空间融为一体。

The natural illumination is accentuated by the use of the colour white throughout the project: in the highly glossy resin floor, the ceilings, and the lacquered built-in furniture. Additionally, full-height mirrors disguise the existing columns and reflect the daylight into the spaces. The natural light is complemented by a luminous band of LED lights on the ceiling connecting all spaces. The curved band of lights reinforces the sense of spatial continuity and provides homogeneous illumination for the specialised work in the lab. The working tables are designed as movable modules that enable multiple configurations. Their slender design from steel sheets and sections seeks to minimise the visual impact of the furniture on the space. In contrast, the fixed furniture within the reception area is conceived as solid extrusions emerging from the floor.
