Aléa Garden Lab
Aléa is launching a long term transdisciplinary applied research project for bio-inclusive practices at Domaine de Boisbuchet.
The Garden Lab is an open air laboratory providing a space for immersed experimentation and development of reimagined processes with living systems in partnership with universities, collaborators and sponsors.
The Domaine, surrounded by a forest, pasture, a river, a lake, and an architectural park, provides an expansive outdoor laboratory that integrates local biodiversity, community, resources and waste streams.
The Garden Lab will welcome participation from students and professionals of all fields, fostering collaboration and cooperation to reveal new fields of trans-disciplinary biomaterial research and applications.
