The project transforms a former military complex in Oleśnica into a therapeutic urban environment supporting mental health and social wellbeing. By reinterpreting the historic barracks as spaces of care rather than control, the project demonstrates how heritage architecture can become an instrument of social healing and community regeneration. Through adaptive reuse, therapeutic landscapes, and nature-based design, the project reconnects people with space, nature, and one another, creating an in

What if the very vines that produce our wine could also protect it during its journey? Vitis-Loop is a bio-based packaging solution created from viticultural waste in Catalonia. Every year, tons of vine prunings are burned, releasing CO2 and wasting a valuable natural resource. Vitis-Loop transforms this agricultural byproduct into a modular protection system for the wine industry that is 100% compostable and an alternative to plastic foams and petroleum-based insulators.

FreeTrik3 is a premium conversion kit that transforms a standard 28"/29" bicycle or e-bike into an upright tadpole tricycle — without modifying the original frame. Using aluminium and carbon fibre components, it replaces the front fork with a dual carbon-arm assembly. The result is a stable, beautiful three-wheeled vehicle accessible to people with reduced mobility, balance disorders, or any rider seeking greater confidence on two wheels.

Although clothing has a high potential for memory and attachment, today’s fashion system encourages forgetting through global standardization and rapid trend cycles. Local stories as well as temporal and spatial references are lost, which makes it more difficult to form emotional relationships with garments. To counteract this anonymity, the project combines used traditional garments from the Alpine region with irreparable outdoor clothing and recontextualizes them spatially and temporally.

Plovdiv Pathways invites you to explore the city through four thematic urban routes, dedicated to history, architecture, culture, and nature, and designed with interactive gamification elements. Created with input from the community and local experts, these routes offer playful learning, hidden stories, and new perspectives on Plovdiv, Bulgaria, making the city’s heritage and environment accessible and engaging for everyone.

The Luxury Committee is a cultural initiative that explores how arts, design and aesthetic heritage can shape a new vision of luxury and cultural value. Founded by Brazilian creative director Rones Silva, the project studies and curates ideas, symbols and creative practices that connect culture, beauty and responsible innovation. Through research, editorial work and strategic thinking, the initiative promotes a refined cultural dialogue that positions art, heritage and design as drivers of trans

DATASKY is an immersive installation that extracts data from the sky and translates it into light within a physical space. In an increasingly digitalised world, where time is structured by screens and artificial lighting, the project invites visitors to reconnect with their circadian rhythms. Atmospheric dynamics become subtle luminous variations, transforming invisible environmental cycles into a sensory experience that reconnects the body, perception, and the living rhythms of the sky.

Situla acquae is a modular urban furniture system that integrates benches and bicycle racks with devices for collecting, storing, and reusing rainwater. The system captures rainfall and releases it through a passive drip irrigation system to irrigate the flowerbeds it defines and contains. Made with modular components and recycled materials, it supports urban greenery, improves microclimates, and strengthens the climate resilience of the urban environment.

Just a Change renovates degraded homes for people living in housing poverty through volunteer-led renovations and strong community partnerships. By improving living conditions, restoring dignity and mobilising citizens to act, the initiative transforms neglected houses into safe homes while rebuilding lives and strengthening social cohesion.

Terra-Mosaic is an innovative AgTech platform allowing urban citizens to invest in the ecological restoration of abandoned farmland. By fractionalizing land ownership, we empower young, landless farmers to implement regenerative agriculture and revive dying rural communities. Investors get a financial return, premium local produce, and the joy of watching their landscape bloom. We bridge city savings and rural revival to create beautiful, climate-resilient ecosystems.
