For L A, the practice of architecture is a device through which to investigate societal issues, such as the accessibility of buildings and public space, the housing of refugees, the impact of war on people and their living environment, dealing with and commemorating painful historical episodes and the destructive impact of gentrification. Studio L A works from the existing context. Understanding the past, present and future of a place and the experiences and needs of its communities and future users is essential to Studio L A’s work. The projects are realized in the form of meeting places in public space, places of remembrance, pavilions, exhibition architecture and design research. Studio L A’s work focuses on creating a more equal society in which encounter and dialogue between people is central.
