The operative system of LPA is framed in the intersection of two ongoing revolutions: the emergence of an ecological era and the new possibilities offered by Information Technologies (IT). With the social dynamics and environmental singularities of the places with good weather—as raw material— and the potential of digital tools—as a processing tool—, LPA has developed its own working methodology and has applied it in high sensitive environmental sectors such Leisure & Hospitality and Waterfronts & Maritime. The work of the office has been awarded in national and international competitions.
