LlabresTabony Architects is a London based multidisciplinary design studio specialized in the fields of architecture, urbanism, geography, ecology and landscape architecture. The ethos of the practice relies in its critical approach to ecology and its relationship with the built environment. Ecology is understood as an artificial construction which subject and object must be continuously revisited based on a relational construction of space time and value.

Their co-founders, Aiman Tabony and Enriqueta Llabres have a planetary commitment with the environmental challenges the humanity is facing today, stressing the need for cultural identity and the sense of place. Each project is conceived as a dynamic complex system, where the architecture of the building is an extension of the synergies and aesthetic values occurring during the building life across different scales.

The practice has developed an unique design methodology based on using critically the latest technology to read the environment, visualize the invisible and merge it with the context and the identity of the place. A tacit and intuitive engagement with technology that allows for the humanization of technique, a symbiosis between man and machine used to sculpt delicately the spaces while keeping the proportions and the equilibrium of the material distribution. Each project has a tailored design approach bringing expertise from Architecture to Ecology, Social Sciences, Engineering, Visual Arts and Programming.

Enriqueta Llabres and Aiman Tabony  founded LlabresTabony Architects in 2017, the London based design studio is built on the legacy brought by both partners after two decades of experience in the field. Enriqueta Llabres, co-founder of Relational Urbanism, has guided her professional career to explore the untapped potential between technology, culture and innovation. Her approach to space as relational has led her to explore the identity in the projects emerging from the active participation of living and non-living systems. She continues her research in Relational Urbanism under the umbrella of Relational Urbanism Lab. Aiman Tabony is a second generation architect in Dr Tabony Architects. An architecture and engineering office founded in Nazareth in the 1960s by his father the architect and engineer Dr. Mahmoud Tabony. Aiman, together with his brother the engineer Ashraf Tabony leads the studio since Mahmoud’s passing in 2005.

Aiman Tabony Partner // Co-founder

Aiman Tabony is a researcher and the second generation architect in Dr Tabony Architects. An architecture and engineering office founded in Nazareth in the 1960s by his father. Following the footsteps of his father the architect and engineer Dr. Mahmoud Tabony; Aiman, together with his brother the engineer Ashraf Tabony leads the studio since Mahmoud’s passing. During the last two decades, Aiman has been the leading architectural agenda of the practice, building an extensive curriculum in the design of public buildings. From 2012 to 2014 Aiman was teaching in the Technion, as member of the computational design group. Aiman moved to London in 2014 to continue developing his curriculum in architecture, computation and ecology as a PhD researcher at the Architectural Association in London. He develops his Thesis under the supervision of Dr. Michael Weinstock; founder and leader of the design research group Emergent Technologies EmTech at the Architectural Association, London. His research concentrates on the implementation of computational methods for design and fabrication of ecological architecture and urban design. Departing from the city understood as a dynamic complex system his work focuses on the development of dynamic system models for cities and how the development of these systems influences the architectural discourse at the scale of the urban block.

Enriqueta Llabres-Valls Partner // Co-founder

Enriqueta Llabres-Valls is an architect graduated in UPC Barcelona with a master in Local Economic Development by the London School of Economics. She founded in London 2009 the experimental research based practice Relational Urbanism. She won the Arup Global Challenge in 2012 developing two Relational Urban Models one for Baishizhou in China and one for Santos in Brazil. Among Relational Urbanism awards and achievements are Seosomun Park, Third Prize in South Korea and the First Prize Le Fanu Skate and Play Park in Dublin. Enriqueta Llabres took over the Associative Urbanism program in The Berlage Institute in The Netherlands between 2010-2011 and 2012-2013.

Since 2012 Enriqueta Llabres has been leading with Zach Fluker the Urban Design Research Cluster 18, Fab&Media Urbanism in the Bartlett BPro Program, University College London. Relational Urbanism research and contribution to the field of architecture and urban design has been published worldwide, its legacy and experimental work continues under the umbrella of LlabresTabony Architects as Relational Urbanism Lab.

LlabresTabony Architects and Relational Urbanism offers a wide range of experiences. Our team invests and is keen on being up to date in the state of art of design technologies. From site analysis, gis technologies, computer vision, visualization, fabrication and digital design. This goes hand in hand with the development of tacit design methods such as hand drawing, collages and media design.

This creative environment would not be possible without an excellent management and finance team that guarantees the stability to the practice and the reliability of the office in delivering complex projects. The state of the art in the latest management methods allows the practice to engage in international projects and collaborate with companies across the world.
