BOOK
Why should you take-off with LaN this JULY?
LaN focuses on DIGITAL FABRICATION as a means to forwarding composite processes/collaborations driving architectural development. LaN recognizes the power of digital fabrication, not merely as a toolset of of a high technical caliber, but as the driver of particular groupings of resources–an organization of human, economic, and material assets–varying widely based on project circumstances. LaN’s mode of operation is parametric in nature, and seeks to with re-associate architecture with a flexible, non-authoritative, temporal, & data-rich practice of spatial design.
LaN passionately seeks to promote a concept of ‘GLOBAL-LOCALES’. DISTANCE is out…and TIME and ECONOMY are in. Consider one can more readily access the US extremes of NY and LA through optimized factors of economy + time than the far borders of Colorado from Denver via car. LaN finds one locale often holds more in common with another many time-zones apart, more so than contiguous lands.
