THE SPACE WHERE NEW POSSIBILITIES AND PERSPECTIVES ARE IGNITED
Our work is anchored in a living environment located 20 min from Venice —
a place where questions are explored in real conditions.
Not as a finished model,
but as an evolving setting where ideas take form through experience, interaction, and time.
Some explorations remain contained.
Others extend outward — informing projects, collaborations, and wider systems.
What it is
Our Living Lab is an evolving space for inquiry and experimentation.
A place where:
ideas are tested through direct experience
configurations can be adjusted and re-tested over time
behaviours, responses, and dynamics can be observed as they unfold
It acts as an ignition point —where initial questions become tangible,
and early insights begin to take shape before expanding into other contexts.
What happens here
The Lab hosts a range of formats, depending on the nature of the exploration:
temporary spatial setups and interventions
workshops and collective sessions
short residencies and immersive formats
small gatherings and ongoing dialogues
Each contributes to a continuous process —where insights are built progressively rather than predefined.
How we engage in this space
Here, the focus shifts from thinking about systems to working within them.
For example, by paying attention to how:
spatial, material and environmental conditions influence behaviour
different rhythms and proximities shape interaction
configurations affect how people relate, respond, and engage
At times, these shifts are visible and measurable.
At others, they are more subtle —affecting attention, perception, or the quality of interaction itself.
At the edge of exploration
This space also allows us to engage with questions that are not yet fully defined.
Questions around:
how environments influence states of awareness and presence
how different layers of perception can be engaged through experience
how interactions between people, materials, and context generate new meaning
how forms of connection emerge beyond purely functional relationships
Not everything here is immediately explained or quantified.
Some insights emerge gradually — through experience, observation, and iteration.
From here to application
What is explored here is not intended to remain isolated.
In time, it aims to inform:
how we approach real-world projects
how environments and systems are designed
how new formats and interventions are developed
The Lab acts as a bridge —between open exploration and applied work.
An evolving process
The Living Lab is not fixed.
It develops over time —through the people involved, the questions explored, and the conditions created.
Each iteration builds on the previous one, gradually expanding what can be understood and applied.
This is not a space to observe from the outside.
It is a space to step into —to engage, test, and experience things directly.
