Unless the copyright status of the text of this page or section is clarified and determined to be compatible with Wikipedia's content license, the problematic text and revisions or the entire page may be deleted one week after the time of its listing (i.e. after 20:54, 17 May 2012 (UTC)).
What can I do to resolve the issue?
If you hold the copyright to this text, you can license it in a manner that allows its use on Wikipedia.
To confirm your permission, you can either display a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org or a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation. These messages must explicitly permit use under CC BY-SA and the GFDL. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Note that articles on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources; consider whether, copyright issues aside, your text is appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia.
Otherwise, you may rewrite this page without copyright-infringing material. Your rewrite should be placed on this page, where it will be available for an administrator or clerk to review it at the end of the listing period. Follow this link to create the temporary subpage. Please mention the rewrite upon completion on this article's discussion page.
Simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be cleanly removed or the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. (See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.)
For license compliance, any content used from the original article must be properly attributed; if you use content from the original, please leave a note at the top of your rewrite saying as much. You may duplicate non-infringing text that you had contributed yourself.
It is always a good idea, if rewriting, to identify the point where the copyrighted content was imported to Wikipedia and to check to make sure that the contributor did not add content imported from other sources. When closing investigations, clerks and administrators may find other copyright problems than the one identified. If this material is in the proposed rewrite and cannot be easily removed, the rewrite may not be usable.
Add the following template to the talk page of the contributor of the material: {{subst:Nothanks-web|pg=Laboratory for Visionary Architecture|url=http://www.l-a-v-a.asia/about-lava}} ~~~~
Place {{copyvio/bottom}} at the end of the portion you want to blank. If nominating the entire page, please place this template at the top of the page, set the "fullpage" parameter to "yes", and place {{copyvio/bottom}} at the very end of the article.

In 2007 the Laboratory for Visionary ArchitectureLAVA was set up as a network of creative minds with a research and design focus. It aims to reposition architecture at the forefront of cultural, technological and social change. It operates as an international think tank with offices in Sydney, Beijing, Stuttgart, Berlin and Riyadh.
Directors Tobias Wallisser [1] and Alexander Rieck [2] are based in Stuttgart and Chris Bosse Bosse is based in Sydney; each is actively engaged in research, guest lecturing [3] and teaching. Design is led by a rigorous research agenda that dissolves the boundaries between Man, Nature and Technology. Collaborations with international research centres, technology laboratories and sustainability specialists underpin the practice.[4]
Their goal is to push the boundaries of architecture with digital and experimental form finding, and implement virtual environments into architecture. LAVA’s vision is how to achieve more with less. Their work uses ‘digital workflow, nature’s principles and the latest digital fabrication technologies’ to achieve ‘MORE WITH LESS: more (architecture) with less (material/ energy/time/cost)’.[5]
For LAVA ‘Green is the new black’.[6] Using the latest advances in computing and building technology they aim to reposition the role of man in the natural environment. They explore frontiers that merge future technologies with the patterns of organisation found in nature to create a smarter, friendlier, more socially and environmentally responsible future. Nature is the inspiration for LAVA – it holds all the answers.[7] They cite as examples the tree that filters the air, filters water, produces oxygen, and is self-generating. It carries leaves and fruit, a multiple of its own structural weight; and a coral reef where thousands of species thrive in coexistence of each other and the elements, air, water and sun. This potential for naturally evolving systems to create new building typologies and structures underpins LAVA’s projects across the globe.
The lessons from nature are in three main areas: structure, material and building skin.[8] LAVA projects such as Tower Skin,[9] Snowflake Tower [10] and Bionic Tower feature intelligent systems and skins that respond to air pressure, temperature, humidity, solar-radiation and pollution. Sustainable structures use the very same energy that is abundant in nature.[11] LAVA uses computation to simulate this natural behaviour of growth and adaptation of species.
Projects include master plans for universities; installations such as the lycra Green Void [12] and the set for the globally televised MTV Award;[13] winning competition design for the city centre of the CO2-free city Masdar in Abu Dhabi;[14] sports facilities;[15] the ‘reskinning’ of an aging 60s icon, the UTS building in Sydney;[16] furniture including the Sherman Bibliotecha and a light for Wallpaper* magazine; the revisioning of a youth hostel in Germany;[17] a Future Hotel showcase;[18] an emergency shelter; globetrotting digital origami tigers;[19] and a classroom [20] and home of the future.[21]
Awards include the Australian Interior Design Award,[22] UN partnered ZEROprize Re-Skinning Award,[23] I. D. Annual Design Review, IDEA Award,[24] AAFAB AA London, Cityscape Dubai Award Sustainability,[25]commendations include Well Tech Award Italy and Dedalo Minosse International Prize.[26]
