Lab's Approach to Research
In service of its mission, LoDo Lab collaborates with a diverse array of fields, both allied and unrelated, to advocate for sustainability and resilience in architecture and construction. It particularly focuses on the adaptive reuse of waste-stream materials, the embrace of decay as an often-ignored material characteristic, and the consideration of disassembly in the fabrication and construction of the built environment.
LoDo Lab purposefully connects environmental sustainability with social and community equity, striving, in all its endeavors, to render the field of architecture more accessible, in terms of both who it serves and who it employs.
