LISt Lab Laboratorio

LISt Lab Laboratorio (commonly ListLab) is an Italian international editorial laboratory and publishing house founded in 2007. It describes itself as having a multidisciplinary approach to research across architecture, urban planning, the arts, photography and design. Over its first decade it published more than 150 books and printed over 60,000 copies, distributing scientific studies and knowledge in various design fields. Its catalogue includes titles such as 'Ephemeral Urbanism', 'The City Beyond Architecture', 'Utzonia', 'Urban Machines: Public Space in a Digital Culture', 'Small Settlements in China', 'Architecture for the Everyday', 'Bicycle Infrascapes', 'I Musei dell'Acqua in Europa', 'Grounded', 'Greenhouse as a Home TEMP', and 'Blue Uneven'. In 2021 the parent entity List Group was founded to create networks and promote cultural debate, and to organise events generating new knowledge about architecture, the contemporary city and landscape. Today List Group comprises ListLab (the publishing house), Blacklist (a creative graphic design studio specialising in branding, editorial design and web development), Instaura (an information weblog gathering contemporary stories on architecture, cities, art, technology and society), and Us/Them/Yours (a multimedia communication and podcast development agency). The group's leadership includes Chief Executive Officer Massimiliano Scaglione, Chief Commercial Officer Jacopo Marcomeni and Art Director Marc Sánchez Torà. Instaura, one of the group's projects, was founded in 2014 in Naples by Arch. Andrea Damiati and Eng. Vincenzo Iovino, and has carried out hundreds of activities with concrete impact on territories, especially in Campania and Tuscany, including a mapping of 90 geo-located assets, 135 itineraries, 40 workshops and three major ideas competitions for Naples and Matera.

LISt Lab Laboratorio was founded in 2007 with the intention of developing an international editorial laboratory characterised by a multidisciplinary approach to architecture, planning, the arts, photography and design. In its first decade it published more than 150 books and printed over 60,000 copies, disseminating scientific studies and knowledge across various fields of design. In 2021 the parent entity List Group was founded, aiming to create networks and promote cultural debate, and to organise events from which new knowledge about architecture, the contemporary city and landscape could develop. Today List Group comprises ListLab (the publishing house), Blacklist (a creative graphic design studio specialising in branding, editorial design and web development), Instaura (an information weblog gathering contemporary stories on architecture, cities, art, technology and society), and Us/Them/Yours (a multimedia communication and podcast development agency creating a multisensory approach to knowledge and information). One of the group's projects, Instaura, was founded in 2014 in Naples by Arch. Andrea Damiati and Eng. Vincenzo Iovino. It has carried out hundreds of activities with concrete impact on territories, especially in Campania and Tuscany, including a mapping of 90 geo-located assets, 135 itineraries, 40 workshops and three major ideas competitions for Naples and Matera. The abrupt halt of 2020 prompted reflection on the path taken, from which new objectives and ambitions emerged, first among them expanding the network nationally and internationally.
