Om Typ-0. Lab

About Typ-0.Lab

The Lab is building on the foundations of, amongst others, architectural thinking, fashion criticism, brand communication, artificial intelligence, and visual and social media. It seeks to redefine design processes and working methods while also introducing new perspectives on how abstract ideas, their mediations, and physical construction interact.

TYP-0.Lab  was founded during the development of a book, Fashion Spaces/A Theoretical View, which was published in 2020 by Frame Publishers. The book proposes a new typology, Fashion Spaces, which extends beyond fashion shows and into retail design and urbanism. The book is available online.

In 2021, TYP-0.Lab formed a long-term strategic partnership with the newly established International Library of Fashion Research in Oslo. The goal is to create a new type of space that starts with a physical site at the National Musesum and builds on the principles of fashion spaces while incorporating the library's research and educational aspects.

Following the EU Creative Europe–funded conference Substance: Research in Interior Architecture (2025) and with Jeremy Williams, President of The Norwegian Association of Interior Architects and Furniture Designers (NIL), joining the research group, TYP-0.Lab has evolved its focus toward interior architecture, engaging with a critical gap in knowledge around the shift from human-simulated to AI-generated spatial design.
