The Arts Paper, a publication of the Arts Council of Greater New Haven profiles architect and artist Barry Svigals:

Barry Svigals’ Erector Square studio is modest and functional. Big windows invite a warming wash of early spring sunlight. Gestural figure drawings and face sketches on paper are tacked to walls, rendered in playful rainbows of pastel and crayon colors. A maquette for a sculpture integral to an architectural commission from Albertus Magnus College stands in one corner.

But for Svigals, an architect and sculptor, this high-ceilinged room is not an isolated garret of creativity. Rather — in keeping with his philosophical approach to architecture and art — working in his studio is something he sees “as interpenetrating with the current that runs through all life, the current of our vitality that’s awakened in the act of creativity.”

Referencing educator Sir Ken Robinson, who said at a 2006 Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) conference that “creativity now is as important in education as literacy,” Svigals asserts that creativity “is the engine of our future economic lives as well as social and political.”

The list of fundamentals for good laboratory design is growing. Over the past decade, security and sustainability have both become higher priorities, and within each of these broad areas, best practices and special requirements have proliferated. Of late, designers and operators of laboratory spaces for a wide variety of research types are beginning to encourage clients to consider an unusual and often unconsidered aspect of research facilities: how laboratory design and amenities contribute to a research organization’s ability to attract and retain top scientific talent.
