More than an eco-festival, it’s a celebration of art open air that aims to reconnect humans with nature. A meeting for everyone from babies to elders in a community and non-profit environment. Where artistic manifestation and ecological principles are shared organically and in synergy with the living landscape. Transporting people to a way of being that seems increasingly utopian these days.

It is a self-managed cultural center in a marginal neighborhood of Zaragoza, run in an assembly-based manner. Our vision works to help people and groups create, experiment, and transform. It's an open space for the entire city, with more than 40 social entities participating. Any person with an idea of a social nature can make a proposal to the assembly. It lives in the heart of the neighborhood, along with the thousands of people who shape it and find their space in it.

Openbike is a manifesto on sustainable urbanism, urban transport, distributed manufacturing, shared knowledge, the community and the responsible use of resources, that materializes in the design of a non-polluting urban transport, the bicycle, that can be manufactured by its own user within the city where it is going to be used.

The project follows the philosophy of Universal Design.The aim is to encourage the improvement of our community values and promote a more respectful relationship with nature, that combines nature, art and communication.

Small Interventions is a pioneering project in Bosnia and Herzegovina where top-down approach in urban design is only used, resulting in the project's importance in terms of initiating a change in the local community. As a collaborative urban design method, it was developed on the basis of the expansive review of studies and practices dealing with the issue of public space design. It was tested in Banja Luka from 2019 to 2020 by the implementation of five pilot projects.

How to regain a sense of belonging to a river basin after two floods?
The participative process toward the Ombrone River Agreement tries to answer to this challenge through a set of regional and local activities (co-design workshops, walks, school laboratories) aimed to restore the feeling of belonging of the river community, to re-establish the urban-rural linkages and to enhance the capability of the river communities to shape their future at both the local and regional level.

We make the urban landscape greener and bring people closer to nature and each other. Garden to Connect reuses discarded plastic building products for sustainable, beautiful, and inclusive urban gardens. Our gardens brings 'Nature' to people living in the cities. We transform grey urban left-over spaces to revitalizing oasis. Social life and interactions is supported along with re-connecting to living nature.

Kevin Trappeniers' minimal art installation Observatory invites, as a public shelter, the local community, passers-by and visitors to reflect on the precarious relationship between humans and their environment. A geodesic dome in the public space questions a redesigned urban landscape.
How caring are we still with our attention in a landscape of artificial interventions? Observatory is a symbolic space in between city and nature seeking and offering tranquillity.
