Oliver Lang has studied, practised, and taught architecture in the United
States, Germany, Spain and Canada. With a master's degree from Columbia
University, New York, he worked with several New York architects between
1995 and 1998 (Greg Lynn, Peter Eisenman and most notably Smith-Miller &
Hawkinson). In 1996 he joined forces with the Canadian architect Cynthia
Wilson, also boasting a very cosmopolitan career, and set up "Lang
Wilson Practice in Architecture Culture". New York-based at the outset,
the agency has been working out of Vancouver, Canada, since 1999. By making
the most of all the various tools offered by digital technologies, it is
the intent of LWPAC to be a "platform of interdisciplinary collaboration
around the conception of architectures, urban projects, and design objects."
In the LWPAC book, architecture is considered not as an isolated work but
as a fact of culture, and must be reinstated at the heart of the current
processes producing the real, on all its scales, and offer more intelligent,
flexible and evolutive objects to a perpetually altering complex world.
