Monograph questioning

What if research, science and
architecture were merged? LAVA is an architecture studio founded by
Tobias Wallisser, Chris Bosse, and Alexander Rieck with offices in
Germany, Vietnam, and Australia. The German Pavilion for Expo 20 is an
example of the eloquence with which LAVA responds to issues of the day.
The three core themes of the book - Cities of the Future, Biodiversity,
as well as Energy and Sustainability - are complemented by the subjects
"Connecting Minds," meaning social and political architecture, "Digital
Processes and Technologies," and "New Work" and explored together
throughout the six chapters of this book. In addition to projects and
their derivation, architectural and sociological thinkers elaborate on
their ideas on these topics - creatively, speculatively, and
thoughtfully.
