This project aims to regenerate the degraded area of San Andrés, in Trapagaran, one of the most vulnerable neighbourhoods of the city. In order to achive this, a deep research has been done on the typology of existing buildings, their history and evolution during time and the current social situation, trying to find a way to systematize those interventions that could help the area to recover.
A Croatian NGO that's gathering textile excess material across the state, both from manufacturies and individuals, to reimplement it back into the fashion stream, boosting the country's circularity and textile sustainability. The student team upcycles the collected textile, converting it into either ltd.ed. garment or industry products that disseminate the value of slow fashion, while also gaining practical know-how. Also providing socially vulnerable groups with their clothing needs.
Want to/seek help, but don’t know how or where?
Volify.org will be the first open online platform where volunteers will easily find Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) that are also seeking for their help. A volunteer/NPO board.
By listing Non-Profits, their categories, locations, events and vacancies, volunteers will be able to search and select the ones that best suit them and readily connect and start helping.
Recycled block of flats is based on a 203 page thesis aiming to systematically reuse the most potent resources of the demolished building stock as a part of new housing architecture. Guided by research, the concept focuses on reusing the common modular pillar-beam structures that are vastly available in the demolished building stock. Reuse of concrete parts provides 95–98 % smaller carbon footprint than comparable new parts, yet providing adaptability and unprecedented architectural expression.
Home + is founded on the understanding that the way we are building our homes has a high environmental impact , low personalisation and a price that is unaffordable for everyone. We propose a new holistic approach, which uses the strength of modulation and technology to develop a system that can be adapted to people and their context. A modular timber building system, manufactured in local workshops, packed and quickly assembled on site creating a wide variety of homes.
How can one maintain the life of an archive? Where does the role of a community come into place? How can a community breathe life into its culture and create something living? The Living Archive represents a place of community and the new model of an archive — a platform for the affirmation and preservation of alternative and innovative, mostly independent, cultural and artistic practices as cultural heritage. The project is based on public and private archives of Koprivnica’s local community.
We have developed our concept on the case of the Stegne industrial area, located northwest of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. The concept stands on a self-sufficient urban-rural lifestyle that allows users to have direct contact with nature. We recycled existing volumes and reused them for the new buildings in the same area. As a final result, we present the new urban plan of Stegne.
Today, more than ever, the designer has the role of understanding the needs of those who inhabit the public space and that is why we need new forms of reading to get closer to the real instances of people. 1,2,3,4,5 Design is a toolkit composed of investigation methodologies that guide the designer in the study of the relationship between a public space and its inhabitants in order to strengthen their sense of belonging through a sustainable project.
People in cities usually don't possess a garden where they can plant a fruit tree. We introduce the solution to buy a land where interested individuals could plant their own fruit tree for special occasions such as: birth of a child, first day of school, graduation, wedding, anniversaries...
The tree seedling comes with a wooden box of memories - a memo cube, which is used to record the most important events in life of its owner. It is designed to be passed down from generation to generation.
“Opolno Is the Future” is a series of environmental, social, educational, artistic and design ecents and activities. The project aims at bringing together different actors: artists, designers, ecological activists, academics and the local community to work collectively on a vision for a beautiful, sustainable and just future for Opolno-Zdrój – a former spa town located just beside the Turów coal mine and powerplant, where in 1971 the first Polish ecological artistic assembly took place.
