Moreover, the office has promoted and developed research-projects within the European cultural programs framework, together with universities, public and private institutions in Europe and abroad. UNLAB members are also engaging with teaching recently invited at the Urban and Landscape Week promoted by BK (Faculty of Architecture) TUDelft. Currently the office is engaging with projects in the Netherlands, Albania and Italy offering consultancies to municipalities and other public institutions about urban and architectural issues.
