LAB - Design Technology

A pool of LAB projects improves the presentation, execution and understanding of the work of DMAA. LAB organizes, presents and documents to uplevel our architectural (DMAA) as well as industrial design projects (DMID).
The DMAA LAB for Research and Development currently consists of ten individual labs which are broken down into 10 categories:

Graphics
Modelling
Visualization
Materials
Codes
Design
Technology
DMAA Analytics
DMAA Data
Sustainability

LAB
The
Office’s Energy Store.

Abstract color explosion radiating outward on gray background with yellow, orange, and green cloud-like swirls.

The office structure is designed to ensure the clear allocation of responsibilities, quality and efficiency of all work processes. The LAB stores the wealth of existing and newly acquired experience and spreads it within our team.

White abstract geometric sculpture with layered stair-like ramps; two people examine it in a design studio.

The LAB's organization also allows for collaboration with external experts who broaden the practical and theoretical knowledge of our team.

LABs ensure the office’s time and content for research and development. In addition to original research and development of LAB subjects, regularly held presentations contribute to strengthen internal communication.
