03 - LAN Architectes office visit

47 Rue Popincourt, Paris

LAN (Local Architecture Network) was created by Benoit Jallon and Umberto Napolitano in 2002, with the idea of exploring architecture as an area of activity at the intersection of several disciplines. This attitude, which has now become a methodology, allows the agency to explore new territories in search of a vision involving social, urban, ecological and functional issues.

In addition to architectural and urban design, the office is involved in the disciplinary debate and develops a significant theoretical production through exhibitions. Teaching and transmission are also part of the transdisciplinary vision. They published a number of research books about Napolitan or Parisian architecture.

LAN has also won and been nominated for multiple awards for projects like : Nolistra - a housing complex in Strasbourg Le Theatre du Maillon à Strasbourg 79 Collective Housing complex in Bègles
