Laboratory for Urban Boundaries is an architecture and art collective founded by Anne Marte Aure, Paolo Ricci, and Thibault Felix to challenge and reconfigure the parameters of urban growth.

We aim to establish a bottom-up conciliation machine between institutional planning agencies—often dictating how we should live—and more informal groups of people or entities, who, through the act of living, shape the actual trends. Amid the ongoing crises—social, economic, geopolitical, and climatic—we believe we must radically shift our current view on the environment, enabling us to interact with it in a different way.

As architects, we position ourselves at the center of this crisis, as the construction industry is one of the major drivers of global warming. It's not only about changing how we build but rather emphasizing where and if or why we should build more.

We find ourselves on the boundaries of the city, looking for new ways to inhabit the land. We seek a new set of rules grounded on the changes and needs of the environments we live with.
