RaRE design lab





stand13.5

The RaRe (Radical Realism) Design Lab is a design research lab which operates with a heightened awareness of the complexity and connectivity of our shrinking world. The lab operates through a cyclical dialogue of theory building and testing, exercised through ‘research-through-design’ projects. These projects intend to develop systemic innovations to disrupt wicked, highly interconnected ‘challenge-scapes’. Lamination, exhibited at the fair,  is one such employment of this methodology.
