Sustain.ALL Transformation Hub turns universities into living labs for climate-neutral and inclusive transformation. Using a human-centered methodology, it maps local stakeholders, activates open calls, and brings institutions, students, and communities together in co-creation processes. Through concrete formats like workshops, challenge-based projects, and climate coaching, it develops and implements real solutions for sustainable neighborhoods.

Coffee consumption represents a key cultural practice in our community. An invitation for coffee is an invitation to socialize, converse, and connect. This very fact lies at the heart of our concept, through which we aim to bring the issue of recycling to the forefront in Montenegro. Caffemino transforms the remnants of this daily routine into authentic, designer objects using an innovative blend of 3D technology and bio-composite materials.

The project reimagines Es Sindicat, a historic cooperative winery in Felanitx (Mallorca), as a cultural and productive landscape connecting heritage, agriculture and community life. Through the adaptive reuse of the building and the creation of a productive agrarian park, the initiative brings together wine producers, artists, residents and visitors, transforming an abandoned industrial site into a vibrant place for culture, learning and local regeneration.

A space for new stimuli and shared activities, connecting patients through text and proximity-based voice, in an oneiric playground. The experience supports psycho-emotional well-being, strengthens holistic care, and is designed to scale across hospitals. Because everyone deserves to be connected!

GBC International Summer School 2026 - Sustainable & Natural Building Materials is an international educational program taking place in Sarajevo from 13-19 August 2026. It brings together students and young professionals to explore sustainable architecture through hands-on workshops with wood, straw, clay, and sheep’s wool, combined with expert lectures, site visits, and discussions that connect traditional building knowledge with contemporary sustainable construction practices.

Libere Human Routes is a community-driven process that activates local territories to rediscover and valorise their hidden cultural, social and environmental treasures.

A digital platform supports the process by connecting travellers with trusted local ecosystems and making these networks visible and replicable.

Measuring a rooftop means climbing it, until now. Our AI-powered drone scans rooftops in minutes, producing precise measurements for solar installations, surveys, and any rooftop project without a single person leaving the ground. Faster, safer, and more accurate than traditional methods, it eliminates the risk of falls, reduces costs, and enables perfectly optimised, symmetrical installations on any rooftop.

RE[VI]URE ES SINDICAT is the winning proposal for the Europan18 competition in Felanitx (Mallorca), addressing the abandonment of the former cooperative winery Es Sindicat. The project reactivates this 20th-century landmark through a multiscalar strategy that restores surrounding landscapes, reconnects the site with its territory and transforms the complex into an open civic infrastructure for social, cultural and environmental activities, reinforcing local identity.

Living Layers reimagines vertical farming as living symbiotic ecosystems, combining design, computation and natural intelligence to create bioreceptive, low-tech, and locally-adapted structures nurturing food and biodiversity in cities.Treating Nature as an active agent in the design process, geometry emerges from plant needs. 3D printed in porous material, the towers passively absorb, store, and distribute water, improving air quality and attracting new life forms with its bioreceptive surface.
