The often disconnected resolutions of the urban scale and tectonic systems and are brought together for the purpose of fabricating site specific interventions in the various urban typologies of Barcelona.

DOWNLOAD APPLICATION AND INFORMATION

LaN focuses on DIGITAL FABRICATION as a means to forwarding composite processes/collaborations driving architectural development. LaN recognizes the power of digital fabrication, not merely as a toolset of of a high technical caliber, but as the driver of particular groupings of resources–an organization of human, economic, and material assets–varying widely based on project circumstances. LaN’s mode of operation is parametric in nature, and seeks to with re-associate architecture with a flexible, non-authoritative, temporal, & data-rich practice of spatial design.
