Biolab位于九州大学设计学院内，从设计的角度探索生物技术的可能性。虽然是一个休闲的环境，但Biolab是一个配备了基因分析仪和图像分析仪的完整实验室，符合处理转基因生物的安全标准（P1）。该空间由生物学家、遗传学家、媒体艺术家等不同领域的研究人员共同经营。与Biolab相邻的是Foodlab，这是一个面向未来食品设计的研究空间。

Located in the Faculty of Design, Kyushu University, the Biolab explores the possibilities of biotechnology from a design perspective. Despite its casual ambiance, the Biolab is a full-fledged laboratory equipped with a genetic analyzer and an image analyzer and meets the safety standards (P1) to handle genetically modified organisms. The space is jointly run by researchers from different fields such as biologists, geneticists, and media artists. Adjacent to the Biolab is the Foodlab, a research space for future food design.

Biolab曾经是学生食堂的厨房部分。在天花板上爬行的管道的存在让人难以忍受。一旦这个空间失去了原有的厨房功能，管道和抽油烟机的复杂形状就像雕塑一样。我们没有预算将它们全部拆除。然后，我想，也许重新利用这些管道和抽油烟机会很有趣，可以保留过去50年填饱学生肚子的空间记忆。

Biolab used to be the kitchen section of the student canteen. The presence of the ducts crawling across the ceiling was overwhelming. Once the space lost its original function as a kitchen, the complex shapes of the ducts and range hoods looked like sculptures. We do not have the budget to remove all of them. Then, I thought maybe it would be interesting to reuse the ducts and range hoods to keep the memory of the space that had filled the students’ stomach for the past 50 years.

因此，我们把重点放在了风管这个主角上，以 “风管翻新 “为理念设计了这个实验室。首先，我们减少了抽油烟机的数量，以创造更多的空间。在拆除部分抽油烟机后，将风管重新连接起来，作为定制的 “风管 “家具重新使用。架子被悬挂在现有的管道上，主测试台和实验水槽被放置在下面。照明被安装在抽油烟机内部，抽油烟机成为照亮生物实验室实验设备的空间装置。在环境光方面，我们采用了磁铁型聚光灯，它粘在铁管上，使用者可以自由变换位置。

Hence, we focused on the ducts as the leading actor, and designed the lab based on the concept of “renovation of ducts”. First, we reduced the number of range hoods to create more space. After the removal of some range hoods, the ducts were re-connected and reused as custom-made “duct” furniture. Shelves were suspended from the existing ducts, and the main test bench and experiment sink were placed below them. Lighting was installed inside the range hoods, and the range hoods became the spatial devices that illuminated experimental equipment at the Biolab. For ambient light, we used a magnet-type spotlight that sticks to the iron ducts and allows the user to change its position freely.

大部分的家具都是由现有的厨房桌子改装而成，并增加了木质的储物空间。对于窗户，我们使用了大学车间里多余的亚克力废料，以保证实验室空间的气密性。这些想法和其他许多低成本的想法，与一般的实验室装修相比，降低了30%左右的建设成本。

Most of the furniture has been modified from existing kitchen tables with additional wooden storage. For the windows, we used surplus acrylic scraps from the university’s workshop to ensure the air-tightness of the lab space. These ideas and many other low-cost ideas have reduced the construction costs by about 30% as compared to general laboratory renovations.
