By combining memory-based repetition and narrative storytelling, the project encourages playful engagement, fostering awareness, confidence, problem-solving and positive relational skills.

Vessel X, LTD. is a deep-tech startup based in Malta and İzmir, Türkiye, developing Autonomous Water Surface Vessels (AWSVs) for marine and coastal pollution management. Its flagship product, Vatoz, uses advanced AI, image processing, and electric propulsion to autonomously collect surface waste in ports, marinas, and coastal zones.

Energy Shift introduces energy vouchers — a new way for citizens and businesses to pre-purchase future energy at a discount, turning everyday payments into upfront capital for clean energy. By enabling utilities to access predictable funds early, this model accelerates renewable deployment, strengthens energy resilience, and empowers communities to actively participate in Europe’s sustainable energy future.

This trophy explores how thoughtful design can express values such as care, openness, and inclusion. It is inspired by memories of a schoolyard and uses simple geometric forms to show how the environments around us shape our everyday experiences. Through sustainable materials and a balanced composition, the design reflects the vision of the New European Bauhaus.

Payonke: Adaptive Mobiles envisions homes where materials shift from static décor to active, microbial agents. Using hygromorphic materials containing B. subtilis spores: probiotic bacteria that respond to moisture like pinecones in rain, the project transforms matter into responsive forms. Inspired by pająki ludowe, Polish folk mobiles once believed to bring prosperity, these redesigned structures interlock and move with changing humidity, acting as natural indicators and mould-prevention tools

Our Master Thesis "Material Perspectives" transforms industrial waste into sustainable cement alternatives through a regenerative bioregional approach in the Oberpfalz region of Bavaria, Germany. By integrating local resources and circular practices, the project reduces environmental impact, strengthens regional economies, and inspires eco-friendly construction methods.

Traditional village houses are an important part of rural cultural and architectural heritage. They already have what matters: gardens, trees, neighbors, memories, and their place in the landscape. Our concept expands these houses by adding prefabricated modules — kitchens, bathrooms, technical spaces or extra rooms. This allows traditional homes to adapt to the everyday needs of contemporary life while preserving the character, history, and cultural value of the village.

Project Training station is a self-sustaining temporary redevelopment of an abandoned train station. It provides an affordable shared workspace that encourages interaction between different disciplines (architecture, art, engineering) . Inside it is a space for the exchange of tools, manual skills, and knowledge; from outside it is a small neighbourhood gallery. The project includes workshop spaces, co-working studio, a coffee roaster and a green backyard terrace.

What if the city became the Winter Olympics venue? The concept reimagines temporary venues as reversible urban facilities, turning squares, streets and existing infrastructures into spaces for Olympic and Paralympic events, public gathering and everyday urban life.

The project transforms Våxnäs' industrial zone into a vibrant mixed use area. By tracing history, every building is treated as a resource to be preserved. To boost flood resilience, asphalt is replaced with green blue infrastructure while protecting local businesses. This phased strategy respects existing plots and roads, ensuring gradual, sustainable change that integrates climate adaptation directly into the urban fabric. The result is a resilient, living neighborhood for the future.
