The university is a world authority on DNA research and the window
takes this expertise as its theme. Each window is centred around a
pattern created from the DNA code letters A C G and T. This is bordered
by a devise generated from DNA sequences. The windows rise the full
five stories of the building and are interspersed with images relating
to the specialisms on each floor. These images were selected through
a workshop program with the scientists at the university. Each image
is distorted anamorphically so as to be 'legible' from one point of
view alone. This is meant to represent the competing and often conflicting
points of view that lies at the heart of the scientific debate.
