Charter of the Living Arkitecture Lab (LAL) — Institutional Charter (00.LAL.CHARTER)
Abstract
The Living Arkitecture Lab (LAL) is a living architecture laboratory for substrate engineering, myceliated construction, and planetary-scale ecological design. Founded and directed by Alice Thornburgh. Seventh institution in the Crimson Hexagonal Archive's institutional lattice. Internal designation: LOL (Living Organisms Lab). The K in Arkitecture is an Ark — the same formal structure governing EA-ARK-01 (the Space Ark). Housed within the Fruiting Body Diffusion Plume (f.01). LAL produces organisms that build things. Part of the LAL Founding Triad: this charter, the Alice Thornburgh Identity Provenance (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19545437), and the Transactions on Substrate Engineering Journal Charter (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19545439). Each document contains holographic kernels of the other two.
