Inmos microprocessor factory
The Inmos microprocessor factory, also known as the Inmos factory, is a building in Newport, Wales, UK which was originally built as a microprocessor fabrication plant for Inmos and is now occupied by International Rectifier. The architects of the award-winning high-tech building were the Richard Rogers Partnership. Construction began in 1980 and was completed by 1982.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Nicolas Janberg (Structurae) )〕 The factory was the first building to be designed by Richard Rogers in Wales.〔 Later, he would design the Senedd building in Cardiff, which is the debating chamber for the National Assembly for Wales.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners )〕
==Design and construction==
Inmos Ltd commissioned the Richard Rogers Partnership, now known as Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners, to design its UK microprocessor manufacturing facility at Newport. The design criteria was for a fast construction, so that it was ready for operation within one year of starting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners )〕 Richard Rogers until then was known for designing the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Lloyd's building in London. The main contractor for the construction of the building was Laing Construction, the structural engineers were Anthony Hunt Associates, the services engineers were YRM Engineers and the quantity surveyors were GA Hanscomb Partnership.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners ) 〕
The technical requirements were that it would house controlled conditions for the production of electronic microchips, a service area for various offices and a staff canteen, all under one roof.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners )〕 The Inmos factory was designed to be a model factory that could be constructed in a variety of locations. The speed of the design process and construction time of the building were critical. The single-storey building was designed to be fabricated off-site, and assembled on the Newport site.〔
The building is divided into clean and "dirty" areas. The cleanroom being for microchip production and the dirty area for all others services in the building. The building has a central spine which is wide and from which all the services and production area emanates from eight bays with the potential to increase this to 20 bays.〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=www.bookrags.com/ )〕 Suspended beams span 40m from the central spine with masts along the length of the building allowing for a post-free area,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Columbia University )〕 and so providing a flexible interior and the possibility of large work areas.〔 Reyner Banham, the architectural critic and writer, said of the Inmos factory that it was "the first really challenging building of the 1980s."
