How to begin its transition to the mountain resort, offering a more sensitive image, where the architecture would live during the four seasons? The music comes here to reactivate the city. The question of the architectural and constructive footprint, the impact of a new building in a privileged site already anthropized, will thus lead to a conception embedded within the existing one, where the question of its imprint is reflected, constructive imprint on the ground but also visual in a landcape.

Herbalism is a big thing in Slovenia. One of those things that your grandmother teaches you and sticks with you through your whole life. Many people continue picking herbs but lack knowledge of sustainability which impacts nature. That encouraged us to create an educational website (nabericaj.si), a free-to-use tool about medical plants and their ways of usage to ease health issues. Through interactive filtering by name or health issue, a user quickly finds himself in the world of herbalism.

Beautiful industrial waste material – gray sandstone slabs with countless irregular cuts, once used as bases for cutting smaller formats in a quarry, became the leitmotiv of the Memorial Park, symbolizing the ruins of the now defunct Great Synagogue (1863-1939) and the paths of life of the multicultural community that were once criss-crossing in the city of Oświęcim, a place where Auschwitz concentration camp was located.

In order to understand and use vacancy, an accessible and affecting structure is needed. The basis draws attention to vacancies, through its infrastructure undefined spaces can easily be used in a variety of scenarios. The potential of space is understood by users and made visible as such to spectators. Its simple design and the multifunctionality of the individual elements make it a kind of construction kit. Spatial potentials are perceived playfully and appropriated at a low threshold.

Many European department stores are becoming irrelevant in city centers as the digital transformation moves forward. A demolition of these huge buildings would be an immense waste of the resources and energy that was used to build them. The concept aims at a sustainable and circular transformation, to form them into adaptive, inclusive and forward-looking structures. The goal is to recover social sustainability and implement innovative offers in the urban context.

Techniques, technologies and materials that work to maintain traditional ways of life that can function and grow with current technologies were valued in a potential dialogue between the past, the present and the future.

Hit by the earthquake in 2012, the agricultural settlement was regenerated by organizing spaces in which to cultivate the sensory well-being of those who work there. Internal patios and long views draw a ‘Greenbelt factory’ in the search for adequate and spatially rich working conditions, for an empathy between the user and the spaces that welcome him. Two twin buildings are joined by an ‘agricultural gallery’ open to the collective experience, harmonizing the man’s action to the nature’s order.

This project has been a fantastic opportunity to reintroduce nature to the heart of Barcelona. The Xifré Rooftop is a dual purpose renovation project, in terms of both architecture and ecology. Covering an early 19th-century block of ten buildings, this contemporary roof garden creates a “floating” wild space that enhances urban biodiversity and opportunities for social interaction between neighbours. Furthermore, the rooftop elements of the historic building have been carefully restored.
