The School works in Lisbon with migrant children from war-torn countries - Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus. The children receive additional education through a unique educational program while also socially adapting to the new environment and creating community.
Yes We Camp creates and manages inventive and solidarity-based spaces. Our sites have the power to transform social ties, professions and the ways in which people live on this planet through their coexistence of economic, cultural and social uses. With ten years of experience, we’ve earned considerable professional recognition in the field of transitional urban planning. By sharing this experience, we hope to design a future that’s more ecological, more inclusive and far more joyful.
The Lycée Michel Lucius in Luxembourg lacks a central communal space. The project transforms an old modular structure into a library, carefully dismantles a 1970s wing for material reuse, and renovates the schoolyard with reclaimed materials. Its approach optimises the use of resources, minimises waste and helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The project sets an example for similar projects by emphasising minimal environmental impact, circular economy principles and improved student life.
An efficient circular economy needs plan templates that can be readily subdivided by an ageing demographic. There is a common problem throughout the EU of a growth in floor area per capita. Ireland has a average growth rate of 1.5% over the last 14 years with regulated floor area of 23 growing to to 49 sqm/capita which creates an avoidable demand of 15000 homes for every 100000 homes. Flexistorey is a digital planning tool for a sufficiency-efficiency-renewable decarbonisation strategy.
This project arises from the need to adapt the city to the different needs of its population. The COVID19 pandemic revealed the lack of adaptation of everyday environments, hindering people's quality of life, especially the elderly. The project proposes a collaborative construction of an intervention catalog to adapt a neighborhood to the necessities of old people through the use of an innovative methodology that incorporates body perception and community dance as an approaching method.

Rooftop gardens is a project to promote the social inclusion of people with disabilities through horticulture. To do so, various urban gardens are installed on rooftops of municipal buildings and farmed by entities of people with disabilities. The main objectives are the improvement of the quality of life of the users as well as the promotion of urban agriculture. Finally, these locally grown products are offered to organizations that work with people at risk of exclusion.
The pavilion proposes a new archway inside the courtyards at Charlottenborg building on the principles of compression/release already at play, to create a dramatic and immersive experience for visitors at CHART 2023. Functioning as a meeting point inside the busy courtyard, the structure foregrounds the aesthetics of a baroque palace, but achieves this appearance using “off-the-shelf” materials including corrugated fiberglass sheets and galvanised steel scaffolding standards.

Flytevi is one of the first rings on the water to foster sustainable urban communities by harnessing the potential of water. Using an innovative approach, Flytevi demonstrates how urban coastal areas can cultivate alternative food sources, while improving both living conditions and water quality. Flytevi is also used as a space for community creation and educational initiatives placing food, seas and people at the centre. Urban greening should not be limited to land but extend to water as well.
