LABA | Laboratory Basel
Laboratoire Bâle, laba, was an architecture and urban design studio of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), based in Basel. The laba was headed by Professor Harry Gugger and was based in Basel from 2011 to 2021. It was devoted to the investigation of spatial design at the interface between urban processes and architectural objects. It was laba’s conviction that design is both an intellectual and artistic product that takes place on all scales of the urban, and therefore, laba’s projects span from planning to detailing.
