ALAD LABORATORIES

[EN] ALAD (Architecture&Land Ambient Design) is an experimental design studio and research-unit which acts as a multidisciplinary platform in which a group of architects, landscape architects, artists, designers as well as writers are collaborating. The shared attitude interprets design as a material practice, which crosses disciplinary boundaries, and which, through a predominantly experimental and unconventional design and research practice, is able to investigate the changing conditions of contemporary spaces.
ALADlabs is part of an extensive international network, resulting in consolidated partnerships and on-going collaborations in Europe and beyond. Active in design, research, teaching, publishing, in congresses and conferences, it has been and is present in many exhibitions in Italy and abroad, winning major awards, such as, for example, the first prize at the 5th Biennal Internacional de Paisatge de Barcelona. In addition to numerous research activities for public authorities, ALAD participates in EU research programmes.

 

[IT] ALAD (Architecture&Land Ambient Design) è un atelier di progettazione, ricerca e sperimentazione, in cui collaborano architetti, paesaggisti, artisti, designer e scrittori in una piattaforma multidisciplinare. L'attitudine di fondo vede la progettazione come prassi materica e trasversale, che non riconosce confini disciplinari e che, attraverso una prassi progettuale in larga misura non convenzionale e sperimentale, indaga le mutate condizioni di fondo degli spazi contemporanei.
Con la sua équipe fa parte di una rete internazionale molto estesa, dando luogo a partnership consolidate e continue collaborazioni in campo europeo ed extraeuropeo. Attivo nella progettazione, nella ricerca, nell'insegnamento, nel campo editoriale, in congressi e convegni, è stato ed è presente in molte esposizioni e mostre in Italia e all'estero, riportando importanti riconoscimenti, come, per esempio, la vittoria alla V. Biennal Internacional de Paisatge de Barcelona. Oltre alle numerose attività di ricerca per Enti pubblici, partecipa ai programmi dell'Unione Europea.

Urban acupuncture
research project

This research consists of a series of experimental temporary installations en plein air aimed at the improvement of the environmental quality of the city and of urban culture. These days developments in technology are mainly applied on the level of the individual, favouring intangible aspects. But their extension to the urban habitat has also the potential to expand their innovative aspects to the physical realm. This research and the corresponding initiative THE URBAN PROTOTYPE PROJECT intends to conduct several field experiments in urban open spaces and connective tissues in order to reach a condition of widespread quality. Therefore potential urban patterns are going to be identified for which devices and environmental micro infrastructures based on a low cost application of advanced technologies are going to be designed, developed and tested. With regard to the various stages of implementation collaboration with selected actors of the industrial sector is planned.

Researcher in charge: Stephan Jung
