“The AADRL is a work in progress. In method and practice the lab challenges the orthodoxies of convention in how we conceive, construct and live within our environment.”

Championing an unapologetic belief that design and discourse permeates all aspects of life. Architecture here is a framework to explore, invent and respond to the challenges of today. It is a pursuit for an adaptive and enabling architecture that can evolve with us. Participation is at the heart of this project in which self-organised teams of international researchers come to our lab to collaborate on complex problems that necessitate progressive and shared ideas to construct our collective future. Architecture in this expanded field is understood as a spatial framework that challenges the norm and the habitual tendencies that limit possibilities. The attempt is to offer more – to examine architecture as a mode of enquiry that enables social and material agency. Our architecture is a continuous work in progress altered daily.
