Archi-Lab
Archi-Lab is an architecture studio interior designed as a place for spatial experiments. The design brings exterior materials inside. Brick, concrete, tiles and re-bars are common exterior materials in the sub-tropical city of Taipei, where rain and humidity have led to tiled outer walls. Within Archi-Lab, these materials are re-organized to bring the scale of the exterior into the interior. New walls are mixed with old brick, and the book shelves are made from re-bars. The intent is to explore new possibilities in spatial design.
Archi-Lab Laboratory of Architecture by Yen-Ling Chen was highlighted as an exceptional illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Archi-Lab Laboratory of Architecture was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design award which recognizes outstanding design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
