Greenhouse Studies

— What is a greenhouse without the green? Or a 'jardin d’hiver' without winter? As part of the 'Tackle The Type' series, Laboratory EAST presented the Spring'25 design studio. The design studio for bachelor and master students will explore greenhouses from a typological perspective and study its architecture as a set of climatic conditions, beyond its formal and functional characteristics.
