Since the beginning, Labics’ work has captured the attention of critics and journalists, and the practice is now firmly established among the new generation of Italian architects. In December 2003, just a year after the practice was founded, the US journal Architectural Record positioned Labics as one of the most important architectural talents to emerge in recent years in its Design Vanguard issue. Labics has experienced projects over a wide range of scales and contexts, and has a particular interest in the contemporary city and in the relation among architecture, urban structure and public space; those kind of research characterize project such as the masterplan Le Serre in Tirana (2005), currently under construction, the Centralità urbana di Torre Spaccata (2012-2014) a large mixed-use masterplan for one of the 18 urban ‘centralities’ identified in Rome’s overall development plan, the masterplan for the Manifattura Tabacchi in Napoli in 2014 and the more recent project for the regeneration of historical centre of Wuhu and Rudong in China.
