DeathLab Information

Based at Columbia University GSAPP, the DeathLab is a trans-disciplinary research and design space focused on reconceiving how we live with death in the metropolis. DeathLab makes it possible for dynamic minds to come together to engage the complex challenges of our individual and collective mortality - we are changing how people think about death. At the core of DeathLab is a team of leading researchers, scholars, experts, and designers from fields that enable us to engage both intimate and infrastructural urban concerns. Our ambition is to develop design strategies that can be prototyped, built, and experienced by the public. We are dedicated to plausible possibility.
