Work & City Research Lab
Architectural strategies
The Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design's Work & City Lab has worked closely with the RCA’s Department of Architecture to explore architectural and space-planning strategies for change in work and urban space. This strand of project work began in 2000 with a study of how to map and enhance social dynamics in office buildings, in partnership with property giant Jones Lang Lasalle. Other subjects since then have covered the design of business incubators and alternative measures of urban density that more accurately reflect dynamic new patterns of living and working.
