Creating a lamp out of biodegradable, CO2-negative mushroom mycelium. The lamp is made to both visually and literally last a long time! The underlying message of the lamp is to devalue consumer society and get people to move towards a slower and more efficient lifestyle, with the mushroom mycelium lamp being a reminder of that, both conceptually and physically.
The Manor Network concept is based on the desire of employees, owners and active citizens of manor houses, castles and cultural heritage sites in Valmiera region to cooperate in problemsolving, realise ideas and find new uses for historic sites. It will be a network for challenges related to the exploration and preservation of cultural heritage, responsible management, tourism development and events organisation. The long term goal – a tool to provide knowledge and skills to network members.
Though the Port Seine Metropole Ouest aims to become a major logistic gateway located at the confluence of the Seine and Oise River, it projects to artificialize an entire site with a high biodiversity potential. Our counterproject seeks to transform the abandoned industrial heritage located on the banks of the Seine River into a series of embankments creating a port network. The goal is to showcase how adaptive reuse can help reduce environmental degradation by avoiding land artificialization.
flip it is a location-independent game collection that does not require many tools or materials. With flip it, the games can be played with everyday objects and interpreted in many ways. The games are explained with the help of flip books as moving pictures without language barriers. With flip it, people of different ages, financial means and backgrounds can be brought together and play together without having to understand the others language.
A collective habitat is proposed between cooperative members, building and territory. It is inserted in a rural area whose landscape value requires attention to integration into the landscape. The proposal is carried out through a series of pieces that connect with collective spaces responding to the topography of the place. The project is aware of the environmental crisis and pursues strategies to fight it, from construction to renewable energy generation.
With the certainty that the Arts must be at the service of the Communities, UMBILICUS is the opportunity to strengthen and enhance the best that stem from the CCIs, defending as its overarching objective, a powerful sustainable development for Territories, but more importantly, its People.

Constantly being pushed towards the ever-extending periphery of the urban, the Roma communities in Europe have been victims of systemic racism, spatial exclusion, and political discrimination for generations. This project is an effort to change that by developing the spatial tools to help those marginalized communities to regain a sense of agency and ownership over the land they inhabit.
“Third landscapes” or neglected, semi-natural spaces are everywhere and can pose many problems: pollution, crime, illicit behavior, health and safety risks. Yet these abandoned landscapes can also serve as models for design, exemplifying regenerative and resilient systems to be studied, understood, respected, supported, and duplicated. Taking the example of Piazza d’Armi in Milan, we present a methodology for reappropriation, one that is attentive to the living, breathing nature of these spaces.
Egg lamp is inspired by the Soviet brand Estoplast’ s production which played a huge role in the Soviet Union. The lamp’ s technical solution enables the combination of several lamps to create light chains of various lengths. It has been made using the principles of slow design which is an anti-consumer culture movement to encourage repairing and lengthening the lifetime of products. The visual language is kept timeless so that the lamp would provide aesthetic value in the future as well.
