| Summary: | LOT-EK is a design practice that believes in being unoriginal, ugly and cheap. Also in being revolutionary, gorgeous and completely luxurious. LOT-EK's work reveals extraordinary transformations of ordinary things. From their famous shipping container projects onward. Combining maker culture and hacker culture into beautiful and radical visions for sustainable and meaningful living. 'LOT-EK: Objects + Operations' surveys dozens of projects. Built, unbuilt and in-progress, polemical, practical and in-between. Complemented by photographs from LOT-EK's Multi-year URBAN SCAN project, a vast photographic document of infrastructure and incident, as well as essays by Thomas de Monchaux and interviews with founding partners Ada Tolla and Giuseppe Lignano. |
