ALAD LABORATORIES

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.

SAFT 01-09
modular book

This book is dedicated to the practice of design. It investigates experimentally the encounter between architecture and other related creative practices, between applied arts and sciences. Carefully selected unpublished materials from different fields are combined in such a way as to incite the maximum amount of questions.

First hand experiences from the field of architecture are accompanied by experiences from product and graphic design as well as by creative practices such as photography in order to investigate how objects and spaces are devised, drafted, formulated, drawn and built today, how inventive practices can shape the potential of everything, of what we can do, how we can live, how we relate to each other.

Each of the nine issues of SAFT contained in this collection is dedicated to a different topic or phenomenon, combining different materials; it is dense in feedback and feedforward, in juxtapositions and casual encounters. Printed on a large sheet of coloured paper it multiplies in your hands growing in an exponential manner. Inside the folds and gaps of the Zines a complementary series of features printed on carte blanche, which contains critical texts or visual materials, introduces vibrations into the Stimmung. Finally the collection which is voluntarily without a fixed form, nor predetermined sequence is wrapped up by a pristine white envelope.

Where an invention takes place, new potential arises.
