Reconnecting with nature

The UTOPIA residence is a new address in the town of Bruz, located on the edge of the Herverie square, a stone's throw from the town centre. It is a quiet building set on the slope of the land, a large vessel whose prow, open onto the public garden, invites residents to enter an interior world sheltered by a glass roof. Here, natural light is everywhere, even in the car park, and flora is invited to every floor, even on the roof.

The Seed Pavilion is a participatory ecological art project that reimagines community connection to Glenbower Wood. Through workshops, ecological innovation, and sustainable design, the pavilion embodies themes of regeneration, collaboration, and stewardship. It serves as a bridge between art and nature, promoting biodiversity and inspiring reflection on the cultural and ecological significance and legacy of a community-owned woodland.

High temperatures are threatening raspberry yields in Kosovo. To combat this, "Mjedra e Kosovës" has launched a pilot project installing an innovative sprinkler irrigation system to optimize water use and cool plants. This model aims to boost yields by 30% and improve climate resilience. Valuable data from the project will support broader adoption of sprinkler irrigation, promoting sustainable practices and ensuring a more resilient raspberry sector in the face of climate change.

Superilla Barcelona is redefining urban space in Eixample! This model transforms car-dominated streets into green axes and vibrant squares, reducing pollution and boosting community life. By 2023, four streets and squares were reimagined, prioritizing pedestrians, greenery, and sustainability. Featuring SuDS, permeable surfaces, and urban gardens, this visionary project tackles climate change and social cohesion, setting a new standard for future cities.
