The Princeton Materials Institute is a research laboratory building designed as a metaphor of materials science. The unusual, rich interplay of materials of the façade refers to the history of materials science - a discipline grown out of metallurgy in the 19th century. Simultaneously, the abstract systemic arrangement of the building's elements expresses today's scientific explorations at a molecular level.
