K LAB deve­lops inde­pen­dent rese­arch projects at national and inter­na­tional levels, working in close colla­bo­ra­tion with the ISR depart­ments as well as with other insti­tutes, orga­niz­a­tions and urban actors. The focus of its inter- and trans­di­sci­pli­nary rese­arch lies on the commu­ni­ca­tion of and on the urban, its visua­liz­a­tions, repre­sen­ta­tions and media­tions. We under­stand commu­ni­ca­tion not as a unidi­rec­tional presen­ta­tion of infor­ma­tion, but rather as a multi­di­rec­tional dialogue – i.e. exchange, media­tion, and re-nego­tia­tion of our under­stan­dings of the urban and its spaces. Commu­ni­ca­tion as a two-footed prac­tice, pivo­ting on PRODUC­TION & PRESEN­TA­TION of content and media on one side (i.e. the orga­niz­a­tion and visua­liz­a­tion of infor­ma­tion); and on the other, the INTER­AC­TION of stake­hol­ders and EXCHANGE of infor­ma­tion for the purpose of construc­tive deliberation.
