Q-LAB

Q-Lab was founded in 2007 by Borden Tseng and Sense Tseng in Taipei, Taiwan, as a critical investigation of architecture in the context of metropolis, intensely over-populated urban conditions, and other emergent cultural niches that define contemporary society. Amid the many frictions defining spatial conditions in the twenty-first century, namely past vs. future, local vs. global, utopia vs. reality, and individual vs. collective, Q-Lab focuses on the operative complexity of these multiple conditions instead of striving for a singular, unified perspective. For each architectural project, which exist across a wide range of scales, Q-Lab explores issues such as spatial systems/matrices, building materials/techniques, and typological divergences to foster a vision that allows the discovery of new socio /cultural potential.
