Arts of sciences laboratory - Archives of imaginary

Laboratory

Summary

The Laboratory of Arts for Sciences - Archives of Imagination (LAPIS) explores the processes of representing scientific thought through artistic tools, emphasizing the role of arts in architecture and engineering projects. LAPIS delves into the conscious perception of objects through sensory experience and emotional intuition, highlighting the transformation of ideas into tangible images. Research at LAPIS focuses on architectural representation, including the reasoned figuration of rural heritage, emotional representation of bourgeois life, and ideal visions of utopian thought. The laboratory aims to integrate new digital technologies with traditional expression techniques to enhance creative possibilities in architectural design.
