For the space occupied by La T, we designed and constructed a series of furnishings and devices to facilitate the development of different activities in the space, both inside the facilities and in public spaces. To develop this open-air furnishing system, we dusted off the XYZ construction system developed in How to Build Your Own Living Structures<\/strong><\/a>, a 1974 manual written by American designer Ken Isaacs<\/a>. This manual helped us to develop new ways of applying the XYZ system to the furnishing of spaces.<\/p>\n

The laboratory aims to be a catalyst for projects and communities based on learning, research, development and technological prototypes oriented towards social transformation and the commons.
\nLa T is an independent project that originated out of the collaboration of three different organisations:\u00a0TecnopoliticaBCN<\/a>, Thoughtworks.com<\/a> and Tecnopolitica.net\/UOC<\/a>, all of whom are passionate about technology and social transformation.<\/p>\n
