Construction without side effects.
Research
Our task is clear: construction must become climate-neutral and resource-efficient by 2045. However, there is currently a lack of both research and rapid implementation of new ideas.

Our mission
The mission of the LAB Lausitz Art of Building is to implement the largest paradigm shift in the construction industry to date: to transform all construction and the use of the built environment into a climate- and resource-neutral, durable, variable, aesthetic and value-creating construction method.

The idea
LAB is one of six projects that were selected from almost 100 ideas after a tough competition by a perspective commission on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Free State of Saxony.

Engineering
And that doesn’t just mean in terms of design, but above all constructively. So it’s not just about architecture, but about engineering. The previous proof of structural safety, serviceability and durability must be supplemented by proof of climate compatibility.
