Our work focuses on public space, postcarbon mobility, and sustainable urban development. We engage in landscape architecture, urban planning, design, and communication. Our practice unfolds from the human scale. We understand cities as part of the global landscape of the anthropocene. Our mission is to transform unsustainable urban systems and their underlying materiality for the benefit of the wider public today and for generations to come.
LAUT facilitates strategic urban development processes and explores human-oriented urban and spatial concepts in studies, planning projects, and cooperative R+D projects. LAUT designs street- and landscapes to improve public spaces and foster public life. We build objects, create interventions, and utilize participatory and co-creative methods. LAUT visualizes visionary ideas and narratives of change, designs and plans applied projects, organizes and communicates transformative processes, curates immersive exhibitions, and implements future-adapted public spaces. LAUT works for and cooperates with city administrations, companies, NGOs, and research institutions. We work with a large and versatile network of skilled collaborators who join us in bespoke teams tailored to the needs of individual projects.
