FORWARDING distributed & diverse design education and practice… FED by advancing technologies in digital design + physical production // LaN directs // global workshops on digital design + fabrication in architecture for academics & professional practice. LaN connects // designers to fabrication resources internationally. LaN experiments // to prove the value of building firms to invest in temporal project development teams for project-specific aspects integrating academic minds & professional experience. LaN produces // via 3d parametric modeling, a design mindset in congruence with automated fabrication means. We find creative potential in limitations of time economy & materiality through data-driven form. LaN mobilizes // educational experiences drawing a diverse group of design participants from afar for intensive multi-day exchanges with leading designers, practices, academic programs and fabrication facilities across global cities. //
