Labscape

LABscape was founded by Robert Ivanov and Tecla Tangorra in 2010. Since then we opened offices in Brussels, New York & Pisa We are a collaborative practice of Architects, urban designers, landscape architects, Designer, Artists and other multi-media performers around the world, who create vibrant, imaginative, and sustainable projects at many scales. LABscape is dedicated to the ideal that design has the ability to improve our lives and we provide the opportunity to formally combine our diverse backgrounds and extensive experience in a multi-disciplinary design forum. We believe that in every space there is a landscape to create or adapt to give the opportunity to live in symbioses with the environment and ambient. The inspiration for LABscape’s work comes from concepts informed by cultural, technological and social dimensions and the belief that architecture in its contemporary manifestation can create meaningful experiences to a large and diverse audience. A positive design that passes thru contemporary themes linked to new technologies, while taking inspiration from the most fundamental source: Nature. We always aim in our projects to create a strong and successful relationship between landscape and architecture. LABscape is consistently seeking cutting-edge materials, techniques and technologies for its projects. We always closely examine the performative aspects of programs for their spatial and formal potentials in an intuitive process that finds solutions to practical constraints. LAB generates multiple architectural solutions which combine to form an array of possibilities that, through a client-oriented process of open exchange, allows pragmatic and conceptual issues to interact, encouraging unexpected and innovative outcome. Labscape is a laboratory of multiple landscapes - a lab of escaping conventional design.
