Korea Constructs "Cloud World" for Scientists

A global "Cloud World" of science is about to be established in Korea. Facilitated by an award winning design, the IBS, or Institute for Basic Science Headquarters Phase I, will satisfy the need for global scientists to gather in one place to stimulate research and study. Massive, naturally ventilated, and largely green, the complex is comprised of a quad-style layout with a large central ring. The latter acts as a pedestrian passageway that accesses all major facilities. Inside the ring is an open air central plaza. Catch the feature story and a slide show here.
