Welcome to LAB
THE RESEARCH STUDIO OF STABILE ARCHITECTS
Integrated Design
In the last 15 years, while practicing architecture and construction, I made mine the Olivetti’s imperative according to which “production and esthetics, efficiency and design, rationality and beauty had to be aspects of the same composition.” In other words, integrated design and the fruitful process begetting it.
Architecture of the Imagination
Post-World War II disillusionment with the machine as an aesthetic value sparked free-form modernism and the interest in organic architecture. More than a theory, organic architecture is a way of life made possible by a unified composition of site, building, furnishings, and surroundings.
Liminal Space
Richard Serra – Hitchcock, and Isamu Noguchi – Galvanized Steel Sculptures exhibition currently on view at Gemini G.E.L. (through November 2024, Los Angeles, CA) is a feast for the eye. For several reasons, and not all apparent. The works on view explore a very specific space: the liminal space, the space at the edge.
Atoll Residence
The Atoll Residence: an urban retreat.
Currently in its conceptual phase, the Atoll Residence reimagines the traditional urban retreat through an architectural language of fragmentation and unity.
VoyageLA—Interview
Today we’d like to introduce you to Livio Stabile.
VojageLA: Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Livio Stabile: My current practice involves art, architecture and construction —not necessarily in that order. In my research I let the three realms cross-pollinate.
