Artistic Research in Architecture

Sweden's first platform for artistic research in architecture. A platform for artistic research in architecture at Lund University, AR[T]CH-RES, brings together senior staff and early-career researchers to explore the ontological and epistemological capacities in artistic, practice-based, design-driven research.

bioDigital matter

bioDigital matter is a research lab exploring the intertwined realities of biology, design, and computation. We are architects seeking a radically different future, where principles of self-organization and emergence shape our built environment through cybernetics, organic materiality, and adaptation: the interactive phylogenesis of architecture.
