About Life Science Code Pomník
Tento pomník vyjadruje pamäť životných vied na základe genómovej sekvencie DNA, základu životných vied. Genóm je pamäťou života od jeho počiatkov po súčasnosť a pomník v sebe zahŕňa prírodné objekty, ktoré živili ľudí, a remeselné majstrovstvo odovzdávané naprieč generáciami v Japonsku, ako stopy života. Dotýkajúc sa počiatkov, ktoré ľudia nahromadili, pomník stelesňuje tajomstvá životných vied odhalené prostredníctvom ľudských spomienok.
About the Platinová cena A' Design Award
Life Science Code Pomník je laureát Platinovej ceny A' Design Award, mimoriadne prestížneho uznania udeľovaného skutočne výnimočným, elegantným a veľkolepým dizajnom. Laureáti Platinovej ceny sú divy tvorby, svedectvá hraníc intelektuálnej kreativity a preukazujú nenapodobniteľný profesionalizmus a génius svojich dizajnérov.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Chugai Pharmaceutical's Life Science Park commissioned a monument to convey the mysteries and unknown possibilities of life science. As life science now drives drug creation by unlocking genomic information from human DNA, the monument compiles diverse memories etched in our DNA. This includes natural materials evoking Life and materials created by human hands, representing Science, aiming to embody the essence and potential of life science.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- This 6m x 1.5m x 2.2m monument embodies human and Earth memories. Its design, based on the human genome sequence, integrates diverse materials: ancient stones, local flora, native trees and medicinal herbs. A transparent stone base, evoking water as the source of life, is illuminated from within, highlighting the genome's varied expressions. The DNA derived design reveals life's mystery through shifting perspectives.

- Production Technology
- This monument crystallizes memories from nature, technology, and culture, archiving them for future generations. It juxtaposes normally incompatible memories, creating a unique landscape and prompting reflection on sustainability. Wood scraps were recycled into furniture, and metal scraps were reused, embodying circularity.
- Design Challenge
- This monument, while not directly generating profit, aims to inspire and provide spiritual support to life science researchers. It expresses the invisible mysteries of life science, a field filled with the unexplained, where researchers strive to improve human well-being. By touching the depths of people's hearts, this monument hopes to bring color and inspiration to their work, supporting their challenge against the mysterious world of life science.
- Research
- We were deeply moved to realize that our own DNA contains the inherited memories of the earth. Therefore, we carefully investigated various memories up to now, and collected a wide variety of memories, including natural objects created over a long period of time, human culture and technology, and memories of Chugai's pharmaceuticals.
- Inspiration
- Chugai's Life Science Park commissioned a monument to convey life science's profound mysteries. The design, mirroring drug creation through genome analysis, uses human genome sequences. The resulting patterns evoke life's beauty and complexity, encoding evolution and human essence. Integrating time-nurtured memories, the monument embodies life's enigmatic mystery. It stands as a testament to the intricate and beautiful nature of life, revealed through the very code that defines us.
- Project Duration
- This project was completed in May 2024
It is located at Chugai's new research facility in Totsuka, Kanagawa, Japan. - Operation Flow
- Researchers viewing this monument can draw inspiration from its unique landscape, filled with memories from nature, technology, and culture. Viewers' reflections become part of the monument, symbolizing the present moment alongside diverse memories. It aims to convey that genomes exist within us, hinting at unknown possibilities.
