LAVA-Laboratory of Visionary Architecture was founded in 2007 by Chris Bosse, Tobias Wallisser and Alexander Rieckin to merge future technologies with patterns from nature. LAVA aims to create architecture that is more socially and environmentally responsible for the future. They design everything from pop-up installations to master plans using nature's efficient geometries and digital fabrication technologies to maximize performance with less material, energy, time and cost. Their projects incorporate intelligent systems that can react to external factors like temperature and pollution.
