Yet architects have a unique capacity to critically understand and engage with the myriad stakeholders involved in a design process – and those who will ultimately use building and be affected by its presence.

The term 'bio-revolution' refers to the recent and rapid progress in the field of life sciences, driven by significant scientific breakthroughs and advancing technologies like AI, automation, and genomics.This revolution has led to remarkable developments, including:.

Drastic reduction in the cost of sequencing the human genome, setting a record for the fastest learning curve in history..Global deployment of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines within a year.. Development of mRNA vaccines targeting previously untreatable diseases like cancer and autoimmune disorders, expected to be available by 2030..Significant increase in the approval and use of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) such as cell and gene therapies, which were introduced just 14 years ago.. 400 times increase in FDA clinical trials for new drugs in the past two decades..

Rapid expansion of bio-revolution into various sectors like agriculture, consumer goods, bio-services, bio-computing, bio-informatics, and bio-industry..These advancements, combined with broader societal, political, and economic trends, are projected to double the size of the life science market within the next decade..

The challenge: exponential demand, high complexity, & lagging supply.

Laboratories support all stages of the life science value-chain, from R&D to manufacturing and diagnostics, and exponential market growth means exponential demand for lab space..However, there is little indication of a shift toward A2 or higher temperature ranges.

Heat rejection systems, including mechanical cooling, have started to reach a plateau, with manufacturers making incremental enhancements to accommodate higher chilled water temperatures within the ASHRAE A1 range..The next significant leap in the industry lies in the adoption of liquid cooling.

Many larger data centre operators are now integrating liquid cooling solutions into their facilities.However, the lack of a standardised design topology for liquid cooling systems and their various configurations, poses a challenge.
