Taipa Lab is a material practice in Park Royal, west London. It turns local waste into ceramics and natural building materials and shares the research openly. The work is early and ongoing. It begins with clay dug from London building sites and tests whether nearby waste streams can take the place of materials a studio would normally buy or dig up. Because one studio can only test a small number of these swaps each year, Taipa Lab publishes its tests, recipes, and results in the open so others can read them, repeat them, and add their own.

Taipa Lab was founded by Victor Pedrosa. It is a place for material research and prototyping now, with the intention to grow into design and, with partners, into manufacturing later.
