Labscape was founded by Robert Ivanov and Tecla Tangorra in Milan and Brussels in 2003. Since 2010 Labscape is established in New York.
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. This collective nourishes its evolutionary practice of interaction with other fields and specific contribution of each members and collaborators. 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.
By shaping and refocusing our awareness, Labscape creates complex and richly varied spatial experiences, new programmatic relationships, and beautifully simple organizations resulting in a positive impact on the environment. With a particular interest in generative design, digital manufacturing, fluid dynamics, crystallography, acoustics, genetics and topographical manipulation, Labscape weaves connections between these fields and architectural practice to explore new and multiples paths for architectural design.
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.
