A research laboratory founded by Nguyễn Thu Trang Bio, Nguyễn Lê Minh Nhựt, Nguyễn Hà, and Kim Hojung, MM Lab operates in close relation to architectural practice and making through arb architects and Beaulo Design. Nguyễn Lê Minh Nhựt is an architect, co-founder and Research Director of MM Lab, co-founder of Gian Giữa, and a Lecturer at Hanoi Architectural University. Nguyen Thu Trang is co-founder of MM Lab, and a practitioner in agroforestry ecology and sustainable development.

The research project, Dichotomy of Heritage and Industrialization in Mang Thít’s Sustainable Development, focused on the Mang Thít brick kilns, supported by the Graham Foundation, and Situated Regionalism, developed within the Experimental Fellowship with Bauhaus Earth, are strong examples of MM Lab’s approach: one that emphasises field observation, experimentation, archiving, and multidisciplinary exchange.
