ABOUT
Architecture is currently in search of a multidimensional approach to our future environment. As its professional boundaries are expanding into other fields, a new trajectory of the architectural discipline considers the overlaps between physical reality, technology and entertainment.
xLAB is an international think tank initiative that examines architecture’s elastic boundaries and considers new possibilities through interdisciplinary collaboration in the study of the future built environment.
xLAB encourages partnerships with a range of industries-including business, technology and science-creating a vast network of possibilities that expands architecture’s role and potential to serve as an active platform in which to “Research, Test, Share” ideas between fields, people, and places.
