Casagrande Laboratory is a Finland based cross-disciplinary research centre of built human environment. The works are moving free in-between the different disciplines of art and science, including architecture, urban design, environmental art and circus.

Focus in ruining the industrial city. Ruin is when man-made has become part of nature.
