INTRODUCTION About us
Lab for Planning and Architecture (LPA) is an international practice operating in a multi-scale way in the field of bioclimatic design and urbanism, optimizing the principles of ecological and sustainable development to the singularities of regions with warm and hot climates. The production of innovative solutions (Lab), the design of visions & processes (Planning) and the construction places and spaces (Architecture) define the singular approach to urban design and planning of LPA.
LPA was founded in 2002, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Canary Islands), a city known by having the best weather in the world, and a privilege laboratory for testing the environmental and spatial potential of the geographies with “good weather”, and its connection with the advance practice of urbanism. LPA has offices in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Madrid.
The operative system of LPA is framed in the intersection of two ongoing revo-lutions: the emergence of an ecological era and the new possibilities offered by Information Technologies (IT). With the social dynamics and environmental singularities of the places with good weather—as raw material— and the po-tential of digital tools—as a processing tool—, LPA has developed its own work-ing methodology and has applied it in high sensitive environmental sectors such Leisure & Hospitality and Waterfronts & Maritime. The work of the office has been awarded in national and international competitions.

“Cavities” and “convexities” of the coast drive a location of potential tourist developments
CALVIA COASTAL & TOURIST DEVELOPMENT
The municipality of Calvia is situated on the southwest end of the island of Mallorca. It has nearly 60 kilometres of coastline and it concentrates more than 50,000 tourist beds and as many second homes which totals for more than 50% of the tourist accommodation on the Island. The proposal is based on the geographic system of “cavities” and “convexities” that characterizes Calvia’s coast. The design strategy aims to recover and update the development pattern of the first tourist settlements where the “cavities” of the coast hosted tourist enclaves while the “convexities” were maintained as landscape reservoirs. This pattern is the basis of the vivid image that characterizes the Majorcan coast, and an example of intelligent and sustainable development of the waterfront. The project also includes a model of sustainable mobility and eight tourist enclaves, each with its own unique identity and tourist profile.
