Laboratory for Diverse Status recognizes that architecture is fundamentally an urban artifact that coexists with the environment and infrastructure and situates itself respectfully in the culture of its place. Laboratory for Diverse Status understands that careful deliberation with a critical understanding of the local culture is what is necessary to foster a synergetic relationship between the architecture and its environment.
