Architecture Laboratory is a research and development centre for Discrete architecture that uses machines and robotics to produce fabrication of architectural products. The building programme consist of visitor centre, administration, temporary accommodation, and laboratory facilities. The laboratory functions as a hub for researchers, architects, and other construction discipline users. It is also for public and students as an educational purpose as it will be under the physics and engineering science department of Oxford University. The project is located at the old Osney Power Station which is at the west of Oxford. The site is near the edge of the River Thames that has an existing building which can be seen from the Osney Bridge. The conceptual process of the project is based on the DSR studio brief that one must pick an artist or artisan as a precedent character.
