Die Hoffnung hängt an Schläuchen - Hope hangs on tubes.

The formal challenge: how to express an existential feeling or a cardinal virtue in our times with means of photography,

Looking up (with a decent wide angle lens) in the foyer of SAHMRI - The South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute.

 

This unique facility houses 600 researchers across 7 main health themes and has established strong and productive collaborations across the three Universities in the State.

 

The SAHMRI building itself is also very unique and a standout of modern architecture providing a flexible, adaptable, healthy and sustainable facility. Its certainly a bold statement in a town better known for its conservative buildings.

 

The locals have knicknamed it 'The Cheesegrater" due to its iconic shape and windows. I've been meaning to do a tour here for a few years now and finally did so today. Definitely worth the visit.

Wistar has produced major scientific and medical discoveries. They have a new building hiding behind this one.

 

From their website: "The mission of The Wistar Institute is to marshal the talents of outstanding scientists through a highly enabled culture of biomedical collaboration and innovation, in order to solve some of the world’s most challenging and important problems in the field of cancer, immunology, and infectious diseases, and produce groundbreaking advances in world health."

I've wanted to photograph this building for over 18 months. I had planned to photograph it when I moved to WA, but didn't get the opportunity. I think that in some ways it was meant to be, as I have my new 19mm Tilt/Shift lens and it was perfect for this building.

 

About the building

 

ECOLOGICALLY SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (ESD)

 

The SAHMRI building is a flexible, adaptable, healthy and sustainable facility. It responds to its surrounding environmental conditions to ensure a comfortable internal working environment and to minimise the use of energy. As a result, our facility has earned a gold rating for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).

 

ESD highlights of the facility include:

 

an energy efficient Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system providing a comfortable indoor environment to each work zone, with high levels of outdoor air supply

a water efficient design, including rainwater harvesting and the reuse of processed water

an intelligent integrated building system to provide real time measurement of energy and water consumption of the building

minimised car parking due to excellent links with public transport and close proximity to Adelaide’s city centre

landscaping and public plaza space designed to minimise the heat island effect

a site specific Environmental Management Plan – with a construction waste recycling target of at least 80%

 

DESIGNED BY WOODS BAGOT

 

Project architects Woods Bagot say the key to the success of SAHMRI is its central proposition: a new and liberating lab typology that promotes collaboration and medical discovery, attracting the best researchers from around the world. The built form of the SAHMRI acknowledges its sense of place within the green belt of the Adelaide parklands, seamlessly interacting with its surroundings, including Adelaide’s public transport, cycling and walking networks.

 

The architecture is lifted, creating an open ground plane in an integrated landscape, opening the building to the public as well as users, allowing for greater activation and porosity through the site. Its forecourt, adjacent to the new hospital, encourages interaction and exchange by staff, visitors and the general public. Derived from its unique site geometry and the need to create a forecourt entry adjacent to the new hospital to the west, the SAHMRI’s sculptural, iconic form is characterised by a striking transparent facade that unifies the organic diamond-shaped plan while showcasing the two atria inside the building. Inspired by the skin of a pine cone, the building’s unique triangulated dia-grid facade responds to its environment like a living organism, acting as an articulated sunshade that deals with sunlight, heat load, glare, and wind deflection, while maintaining views and daylight.

Meiji-mura is an open-air museum for preserving and exhibiting works of Japanese architecture from the Meiji period (1868 - 1912). The museum occupies an area so large that it has its own bus service, streetcar and steam train to help visitors get around the village.

 

The streetcar in the foreground was originally part of the Kyoto streetcar system, which opened in 1895.

 

The building in the background is the Kitasato Institute, a private medical institution founded by Shibasaburo Kitasato, a pioneer in bacteriology in Japan, at Shiba Shirogane, Tokyo.

PHOTO STORY ABOUT OLD PHILADELPHIA

 

Pennsylvania Hospital was founded on May 11, 1751, by Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Bond and was the second public hospital (the first was Bellevue), but had the first surgical amphitheater in the United States and its first medical library. It is part of the University of Pennsylvania Health System. The hospital's main building, built in 1756, is a National Historic Landmark..

The outdoor amphitheatre at the Centre for the Unknown, Fundação Champalimaud, Lisbon. The architect was Charles Correa.

This time i'd like to present you a totaly different picture. It centers around the topic "Chemistry in our environment". Everyone today is surrounded by chemistry all the time. Most tools we use are out of products synthesized by chemists. But chemistry is much more: in animals, plants and - of course - humans, a huge variety of chemical processes is going on. We are like a huge reaction vessel: By assimilating substances e.g. food, water or oxygen of the air, new products are formed, energy is released, etc.

This picture which, of course, doesn't show a real laboratory system, should stand for this processes going in our environment.

Our Daily Challenge ... Three cheers for ... medical research scientists.

 

Last Friday was Daffodil Day ... a day to create awareness and to raise money for medical research to find a cure ... or at least better treatments ... for cancer.

 

So, three cheers for those dedicated men and women who work tirelessly to find cures for modern day health issues of all kinds.

Savannah monkeys were extensively used for medical research until the deaths of several laboratory workers after getting a virus from Vervet monkeys. 21000 imported to the USA in 1968 - 73 and 11,000 to the UK 1965 - 75.

 

Tantalus is the largest of the savannah monkeys

Nestled in the heart of San Francisco’s burgeoning Mission Bay district, the UCSF Mission Bay Cardiovascular Care and Prevention Center stands as a beacon of modern healthcare architecture and innovation. With its striking glass facade that mirrors the ever-changing skies above, this state-of-the-art facility not only reflects San Francisco’s commitment to cutting-edge medical care but also its deep respect for architectural beauty.

 

As you approach this landmark center, you’re greeted by reflections of fluffy clouds drifting across panels of blue-tinted glass—a nod to both San Francisco’s notorious foggy weather and its rare crystal-clear days. The building’s design seamlessly integrates into the urban fabric while making its own bold statement—much like San Francisco itself.

 

The center’s location in Mission Bay is no coincidence; this neighborhood has transformed from industrial roots into a hub for science, technology, and medicine—symbolizing hope and progress. The UCSF center adds to this narrative with its dedication to preventing heart disease through innovative research and patient care.

 

Inside, natural light floods through expansive windows creating an atmosphere that promotes healing while offering panoramic views of this iconic city—from rolling hills to urban streetscapes. Every detail from lobby to laboratory speaks volumes about San Francisco’s forward-thinking ethos.

 

Whether you’re admiring it as part of your daily commute or seeking world-class cardiovascular care within its walls, UCSF Mission Bay Cardiovascular Care and Prevention Center is more than just part of San Francisco’s skyline—it’s part of its soul.

Participants were asked to send a text message to Congress.

The Mission Bay waterfront glows during blue hour, with UCSF's modern research campus illuminated across the shoreline. This view captures San Francisco's newest neighborhood, where biotech labs, medical facilities, and residential buildings meet the bay waters in the city's Dogpatch and Mission Bay districts.

The riprap shoreline in the foreground protects against tidal erosion while creating habitat along San Francisco Bay. Dark sand and pebble beach meets calm water reflecting the lights from buildings and waterfront infrastructure. A teal construction fence marks ongoing development in this rapidly evolving area.

The architectural skyline showcases contemporary institutional and commercial buildings—glass facades glowing with interior lighting, modern medical research facilities, and tech office spaces that define Mission Bay's character as San Francisco's life sciences hub. UCSF's expansion into this former industrial waterfront has transformed the neighborhood into a biomedical innovation district attracting research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare facilities.

Industrial remnants visible on the left contrast with the sleek modern buildings, showing Mission Bay's evolution from Southern Pacific railyards and shipbuilding facilities to contemporary urban development. The atmospheric twilight sky gradates from blue to soft pink, creating dramatic backdrop for the illuminated architecture. Street lights and building facades create warm glows against the cooling evening air.

This scene illustrates San Francisco's waterfront transformation—from industrial maritime uses to mixed-use neighborhoods combining research, residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. The bay access, new construction, and preserved industrial elements show how the city balances growth with waterfront preservation in rapidly developing districts near Pier 70 and Mission Bay.

Glenfield Hospital (Aerial View)

This is Glenfield Hospital on the north-west side of Leicester, one of the three main hospitals that make up the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. The site you see here began to take shape in the mid-1980s, built in phases to provide a modern centre for specialist cardiac and respiratory care. The first major buildings opened in 1984 and were formally launched in 1986, with a second construction phase completed towards the end of that decade.

The hospital sits on land that has a longer history than its modern appearance suggests. Part of the grounds once formed the estate of Leicester Frith, whose Victorian mansion still survives on the right-hand side of the image. That building dates from around 1870 and was used for many years as part of a mental health institution, even caring for soldiers suffering shell shock after the First World War. Over time the expanding hospital campus absorbed the surrounding estate.

Today Glenfield is best known as a major specialist centre rather than a typical general hospital. It handles advanced cardiology, cardiac surgery, thoracic surgery, respiratory medicine, cystic fibrosis care, vascular services and imaging, along with several linked children’s and adolescent services. It routinely receives tertiary referrals from a wide region, and has developed an international reputation for its expertise in heart and lung disease. The site typically provides around 400–420 inpatient beds.

Several key wards and departments lie within the white-roofed blocks at the centre of the photo: cardiac operating theatres, intensive care units, respiratory wards, catheter laboratories, diagnostic imaging and clinical research units. The helipad is prominent on the left, positioned for rapid access to the specialist teams. The large plant building with chimneys near the centre provides power, heating and medical gases across the site.

Glenfield, together with Leicester Royal Infirmary and Leicester General, forms the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, which is responsible for the administration, staffing and strategic planning of the city’s hospital services. The trust is one of the largest in the country, employing many thousands of staff and treating well over a million patients across its three sites each year.

Looking ahead, Glenfield is part of a major multi-hundred-million-pound redevelopment planned for Leicester’s hospital network. The long-term vision includes reconfiguring services across the three hospitals, updating older buildings, expanding specialist care and modernising the estate to support research and teaching. While some services may move between sites, Glenfield’s specialist role in heart and lung care is expected to remain central to the trust’s future plans.

A fascinating blend of Victorian legacy and modern medical engineering, Glenfield Hospital is one of the UK’s notable centres for advanced cardiothoracic and respiratory care — and from the air, its scale and complexity are unmistakable.

Human neural progenitor cells were isolated under selective culture conditions from the developing human brain and directed through lineage differentiation to GFAP + (glial fibrillary acid protein) astrocytes. Following 3 weeks in astrocyte selective medium, cells were fixed and stained with antibodies to intermediate filament proteins that characterize the cells as either astrocytes (GFAP in orange) or neural progenitor cells (nestin in green). Nuclei are stained with DAPI in blue. Microscopic examination over the course of differentiation showed loss of progenitor cells (nestin down regulation) as cell population increasingly became astrocytes (GFAP up regulation).

This set of 5 images was to highlight the recently completed Sydney Northern Beaches Hospital by architects BVN. It’s not often you see design of this quality and attention to detail placed into a hospital. If you look into the previous designs by BVN you start to get an understanding of how this could have come about. They’ve done many large scale buildings in the public sector, educations, commercial, defence, health & science, residential, transport and the list goes on. It’s nice to see that the health sector is provided with spaces that aren’t the old typical sterile hospital building we are used to. The way a space can impact a person is real and providing positivity whilst people heal is a step in the right direction. Whilst I love the outside of this building what’s going on inside is just as cool, as the hospital houses around 500 beds of those 60% are public with 40% being private. Which means that everyone within the local area can be treated here! 😃

Electron micrograph of red blood cells infected with Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria in humans. During its development, the parasite forms protrusions called 'knobs' on the surface of its host red blood cell which enable it to avoid destruction and cause inflammation. Using scanning electron microscopy, this image shows a knob-rich infected blood cell surrounded by knobless uninfected blood cells.
