STATUS
Under Construction
ELI Beamlines, located in Dolni Brezany, south of Prague, Czech Republic, is an international research and technology facility for high-powered laser experimentation. Funded by The European Commission, the ELI (Extreme Light Infrastructure) Beamlines facility will house the infrastructure for world-class laser research, in particular the investigation into applications of laser-matter interaction at the highest light intensity levels.
The lasers installed within the complex will have intensities 10 times higher than those currently achievable and will be used for research into material sciences and engineering, medicine, biology, chemistry, pharmacy and astrophysics, and this new generation of laser technology will make important contributions to cancer diagnosis and therapy.
ELI Beamlines is the first laser research infrastructure involving scientists from the global research community and is recognised as one of the European Union’s most significant research projects.
Won in international competition, the design by Bogle Architects has been conceived as a research campus within a landscaped setting and consists of four separate buildings, accommodating offices, laboratories, a multifunctional space with lecture theatre and a café and the principal element - a massive concrete ‘box’, comparable in size to a football pitch, housing the laser hall itself. A lightweight roof floats over the atrium or ‘heart’ of the building, with louvres providing shade during the summer whilst allowing sun to penetrate and heat the atrium during the winter.
In October 2014 the project won ‘Project of the Year’ award at the ‘Czech Architecture Week’.
