Place Laboratory
Great PLACES are destinations, people focused, vibrant, interesting, exciting and fun. The name PLACE Laboratory defines our philosophical design approach. We shape places, adopting an environmentally focused approach to landscape architecture and urban design. By experimenting with ideas and research underpinned by ecological, social and cultural parameters we aim to create grea
t places. Our rigorous analysis and strategy-led design approach aspires to be responsive and artistic but also a mode for catalytic transformation. Our desire is to create thriving places designed for people and communities. Our goal is to provide critical and collaborative thinking for place related concepts – connected to research and rigorous contextual analysis, applying relevant technologies, and evolving new place based theories. PLACE Laboratory is unique in the way it brings these issues to front and centre as many of our global clients now expect places to be designed for people. The public realm is undergoing a renewed interest as we shift from singular responses to complex place based models of city making. PLACE Laboratory is uniquely positioned to assist in the development of our collective public realm.
