Theo Sarantoglou Lalis co-founded LASSA architects with Dora Sweijd in 2009, with offices in Brussels and London. LASSA operates at the intersection between the fields of art, technology and social science. His research with diploma 17 is focussing on the relationship between form and behaviour in the age of information and communication technologies. LASSA’s projects aim to produce spaces that affect participation, stimulate the corporal experience of space and enhance socialization and the collective. LASSA is concurrently interested in the changing role of the architect in imagining new tectonic and constructive strategies as a way of producing both singular and economic projects.
Theo has been a Unit master for Diploma unit 17 at the Architectural Association since 2009. He is a visiting a professor at Chalmers University in Sweden. He has run architecture and urban design workshops in Rio, Nanjing, Teheran, Lund and Melbourne. He has taught undergraduate studios in Lund and postgraduate studios at Harvard G.S.D and at Columbia in NY. He received his masters from the Bartlett school of Architecture in London. He is a registered architect.
