理查兹医学研究实验室外观 / Exterior View of the Richards Medical Research Laboratories ©Xavier de Jaureguiberry

外部立柱将楼层支撑点集中于各边的三分点，形成四个无柱悬臂角，康借此引入窗户，使空间在结构的约束中获得更开阔的采光与视野 / The external columns support each floor at the one-third points along its edges, creating four column-free cantilevered corners where Kahn positioned windows to bring natural light and expansive views into the space ©Xavier de Jaureguiberry

外围的砖砌竖井内设有楼梯和通风管道，营造出一种与康几年前绘制的意大利古代建筑草图相呼应的效果 / On the periphery, brick shafts house stairwells and air ducts, creating an effect that echoes the architecture of ancient Italian structures that Kahn had sketched just a few years prior ©Francis Wu

角落细节

建筑并非采用隐藏式钢框架支撑，而是拥有清晰可见的钢筋混凝土结构，并公开展现其承重特性 / Rather than being supported by a hidden steel frame, the building has a reinforced concrete structure that is clearly visible and openly depicted as bearing weight ©Xavier de Jaureguiberry

入口门廊的天花板展现了建筑的支撑结构，它由预制混凝土构件组成，组装方式如同儿童积木 / The entry porch ceiling shows the building’s support structure, composed of prefabricated concrete elements assembled like children’s blocks ©Xavier de Jaureguiberry

理查兹大楼的结构由1019根预应力混凝土柱、梁、桁架及相关部件组成 / The structure of the Richards Medical Research Laboratories consists of 1,019 precast prestressed concrete columns, beams, trusses, and associated components ©Xavier de Jaureguiberry

路易斯·康（1901—1974）是20世纪最具影响力的现代主义建筑师之一，以严谨的几何秩序、厚重的建筑体量，以及对自然光与空间本质的深刻探索而闻名。出生于爱沙尼亚，后移居美国，康的建筑思想融合了现代主义的理性精神与古典建筑的历史意蕴。他善于运用混凝土、砖石等材料，通过清晰的几何形态、富有层次的结构与精心组织的光影，赋予建筑沉静而庄严的气质。代表作包括耶鲁大学美术馆、索尔克生物研究所、金贝尔艺术博物馆及耶鲁英国艺术中心。他的作品超越了单纯的功能表达，将建筑视为光线、材料、结构与人的感知共同构成的精神空间，对当代建筑产生了深远影响。 Louis I. Kahn (1901–1974) was one of the most influential modernist architects of the 20th century, renowned for his rigorous geometric order, monumental architectural forms, and profound exploration of natural light and the essence of space. Born in Estonia, he later emigrated to the United States, where his architectural philosophy evolved through a synthesis of modernist rationality and the historical legacy of classical architecture. Kahn employed materials such as concrete and brick, combining clear geometric forms, expressive structures, and carefully orchestrated light and shadow to create spaces of quiet solemnity. His major works include the Yale University Art Gallery, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, the Kimbell Art Museum, and the Yale Center for British Art. Transcending purely functional considerations, his architecture brings light, material, structure, and human perception together to create spaces of profound spiritual resonance, leaving a lasting impact on contemporary architecture.

理查兹医学研究实验室是路易斯·康职业生涯中的重要转折点，也是他将空间秩序、结构表达与建筑功能结合起来的代表作。项目于1957年启动，服务于宾夕法尼亚大学医学研究与教学需求。康没有将实验室及其技术辅助系统包裹在一个连续的建筑体量中，而是把建筑组织为相互关联的塔楼群，使不同空间的功能与结构逻辑直接反映在建筑形态上。The Alfred Newton Richards Medical Research Laboratories mark a pivotal moment in Louis I. Kahn’s career and a defining example of his approach to the relationship between spatial order, structural expression, and architectural function. Commissioned by the University of Pennsylvania in 1957 to support medical research and teaching, the project rejected the idea of enclosing laboratories and their technical infrastructure within a single, continuous volume. Instead, Kahn organized the building as a cluster of interconnected towers, allowing functional and structural distinctions to shape its external form.

理查兹医学研究实验室的重要性，在于它把现代科学研究的实际要求转化为一种清晰可读的建筑秩序。实验室被视为供科学家观察、实验与协作的工作空间，通风、交通与设备系统则获得独立而明确的位置。建筑形态由功能关系、结构技术与空间组织共同生成，标志着康对现代建筑中结构、服务系统与主要空间关系的深入探索。该项目也成为他随后设计萨尔克生物研究所等科研建筑的重要参照。The significance of the Richards Laboratories lies in translating the practical demands of modern scientific research into a clear architectural order. Laboratories are conceived as workplaces for observation, experimentation, and collaboration, while ventilation, circulation, and technical infrastructure are assigned distinct and legible positions. The building’s form emerges from the interaction of programme, structure, and spatial organization, reflecting Kahn’s sustained investigation into the relationship between primary spaces and the systems that support them. The project also provided an important point of reference for his subsequent work on research institutions, including the Salk Institute for Biological Studies.
