Diese Haltung ermöglicht es ihnen, neue Lösungen für soziale, städtebauliche, ökologische und funktionale Fragestellungen zu finden. Ihre stark beachteten und oft preisgekrönten Bauten decken ein breites Spektrum an Massstäben, Typologien und Funktionen ab. Derzeit arbeitet LAN an Projekten in Frankreich, Belgien, Deutschland, Italien und Slowenien und expandiert zudem im Nahen Osten und in Asien. Neben den architektonischen und städtebaulichen Entwürfen hat das Büro auch mit Büchern wie Paris Haussmann und Napoli Super Modern - beide bei Park Books erschienen - Aufsehen erregt.
