Laboratory for Visionary Architecture
open-in-new
<p> Laboratory for Visionary Architecture (LAVA) is an architectural firm set up in 2007. Its stated goal is to combine digital workflow, nature’s structural principles and the latest digital fabrication technologies to build MORE WITH LESS: more (architecture) with less (material/energy/time/cost). It was awarded the 2016 European Architecture Laureate for "a more critical, intellectual, and artistic approach to the design of buildings and cities" by the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design. </p>
