With the design practice as context, the LAP research group stands at the forefront of integrating design disciplines, including architecture, engineering, urbanism and heritage preservation, to redefine interdisciplinary collaborations and address the pressing contemporary and ecological challenges of our time.
With a commitment to the dynamic interplay of research, practice and teaching, LAP fosters design based research and supports the establishment of new standards within the field. By tapping into the rich veins of design and engineering sciences, LAP systematically confronts the complexities of our built and natural environments, promoting a hands-on, project-based research approach. This approach underpins our active collaboration with stakeholders within and outside of the academic research community, to develop sustainable and responsive solutions for the future’s challenges.
Dedicated to advancing practice-based knowledge and design research, LAP unites a diverse group of practices – within a shared educational and research context – around tacit knowledge, complex transformation processes and implicit patterns.
The LAP research embraces the complexities of transforming tacit knowledge that shapes the future of architecture and urbanism. Through this lens, LAP is dedicated to exploring and articulating the nuanced interplay between theoretical inquiry and practical application, thereby enriching the discourse and praxis within the domains of architecture and beyond.
