Reweaving is a temporary intervention that reconnects the community with the history of the Church of the Holy Spirit at Cerrado, in Minas Gerais, Brazil, designed by Lina Bo Bardi. Cotton threads emerge from the chapel walls carrying photos, letters, and objects that hold local memories. During a week-long cultural program inspired by the traditional Festival of the Holy Spirit, residents add their own stories, turning the church and its surroundings into a living tapestry of collective memory.

“Un viento que sigue soplando” reimagines El Besòs i el Maresme through a participatory, multi-scalar urban regeneration. The project reconnects urban voids, revitalizes public space, enhances social cohesion, supports vulnerable groups, and promotes local economy and ecological cycles. Through inclusive design, green interventions, and co-created community spaces, it fosters a resilient, walkable, and vibrant neighborhood, empowering residents as co-creators of their living environment.

The heart of the concept lies in a territorial stewardship strategy in Nailloux, based on its geography and network of hidden streams. By caring for silent resources, it restores hydrological, ecological and social continuity, strengthens landscapes and their architectures, culture heritage and fosters social cohesion. Experimental pilot sites, from cooperative housing to a productive food area, illustrate a regenerative approach supporting resilient societies and sustainable living over time.

Divergent frequencies addresses low vision by redefining legibility through Ivy Flex, a parametric typeface tailored to individual needs. Unlike standard solutions, Ivy Flex adjusts 5 key variables to create personalized adaptations for each user and context. This approach empowers readers with low vision, enhancing quality of life. The project is unique in its focus on personalization, transforming the understanding of legibility, and setting a new standard for inclusive typographic design.

"Inhabited In-Between" transforms obsolete residential blocks into a vibrant civic infrastructure. By prioritizing circular retrofitting over demolition, the project creates a porous threshold that mediates between disconnected urban fabrics. It integrates passive climate strategies and productive gardens into a shared landscape. Inspired by the movement of its users, it turns a topographic conflict into a social opportunity, redefining the neighborhood as a space for collective life.

The vision for reactivating Riez is embodied by the use of earth to regenerate local heritage for a circular economy and a sustainable future. Rammed earth (‘pisé’) has a rich building history in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. The region’s clayey soil is a local material well-suited to building with. Rebuilding Riez in a hyperlocal, sustainable, and contemporary way works sensibly to re-embed the village in its rich landscape, whilst supporting local trade and safeguarding vernacular heritage.

Green Island of Safety is a concept to transform a public space in Dobroslav community (Ukraine) into a green, climate-resilient and inclusive place for rest and social interaction. Through tree planting, smart irrigation and solar-powered lighting, the project will create a cooler and safer environment for residents. The initiative combines nature-based solutions with community participation to improve wellbeing and everyday life in the community.

What if a city could listen to itself? The European Looping Cities Project is a mobile performance and archive initiative that gathers the sounds, voices and stories of local communities across Europe, transforms them into live music, and permanently marks the places where they happened — building a transdisciplinary, replicable format for cultural regeneration, one city at a time.

Our digital platform connects students with trained peer mentors for personalized support. Learners request help in specific subjects, and mentors guide them through interactive online sessions using video, collaborative whiteboards, and shared materials. By combining accessibility, participatory learning, and gamified rewards, the platform bridges educational gaps, empowers students, and builds an inclusive learning community across Moldova.

Integral strategy to transform the urban fracture created by the high‑speed railway, through collaborative workshops RE‑NATURALIZATION through a continuous system of natural spaces that restores ecological permeability, based on regenerative urbanism principles; RE‑CONNECTION with a multiscalar mobility network that turns the railway into an articulating axis between the two sides of the city; and RE‑ACTIVATION of industrial voids as public spaces, facilities and temporary‑use areas.
