Creativity and workmanship under a single roof, yet neither a university nor a factory - labs, studios and workshops are hubs of creative innovation and practical implementation. These two premises are the constants that define them as a place in which new things are developed.

This volume examines the question of how the spaces for this process are actually created. It presents contemporary examples from areas as diverse as fashion, graphic design, architecture, and photography, as well as an exclusive patisserie and noble furniture workshops. These projects reflect already achieved accomplishments while promising future innovations.
