WITH RESEARCH AND REAL-LIFE PROJECTS COME NEW CHALLENGES.

So far, projects (past and current) involving our participation have mainly focused on participation and urban design ambient interventions (involving the local community in the first phases of urban design, small urban interventions, urban actions), as well as on virtual collaboration and long-distance collaboration (using the virtual world as a digital tool for public participation in urban design).

The principle activities of the CoLab Institute are: education of the general public on architecture and urban design, public participation, interdisciplinary collaboration, virtual design, sustainability, life-long learning, life-cycle of buildings, healthy buildings, etc. In addition to research and real-life projects, the CoLab Institute provides professional advice and organizes various events.
