PerspectLab

PerspectLab gathers experts in architecture, philosophy, heritage, history of art, anthropology and sociology who provide a scientific research core to an international network of individuals, civil organizations, activist groups, social movements, as well as academic and other institutions.

The findings gained from research projects and theoretical analysis are continuously presented at conferences and in publications, as well as challenged through debates and round tables. PerspectLab’s mission is to find effective pathways for the application of scientific research on this cluster of topics, thus positioning itself as a locus of communication between the scientific community and the broader public.
