Experimental Labs
Liwan’s Experimental Labs are collaborative, practice-led programmes that bring together designers, makers, researchers and creative practitioners to investigate ideas through hands-on experimentation.
Rooted in local contexts and open to diverse disciplines, each Lab transforms questions and constraints into tested approaches, new knowledge and tangible outcomes that can inform future design practice and programmes.
