Placed in the buildings of a former blacksmith and auto repair shop, Demokrati Garage is now a meeting place and innovation hub for democracy in Denmark. With actors of democracy and open to everyone who wants to strengthen and renew it. Here we celebrate the many heroes of democracy, promote political and democratic innovation and create space for difficult public conversations. With more than 35,000 annual visitors and 15 different resident organizations, it is a vibrant everyday meeting place
This project part of my Ph.D. research abstract merge computational design and robotic 3Dprinting to build affordable refugee shelter, sustainable, high-performance shell-envelope systems from earth-based composites. It explores support-free domes and shell envelopes through modular components, demonstrated with a non-vertical modular wall segment to proof a sustainable workflow. Material mix designs and extrusion systems are iteratively optimized to improve green strength, and buildability.
Today’s new generations, particularly young people, will face consistent landscape changes in their lives. Can we involve children and university students in co-designing landscapes that consider climate change? Starting from exploring different forms of "play," the project aims to educate and engage younger generations in climate change issues. Games serve as tools for students to acquire knowledge, view the world from diverse perspectives, and ultimately imagine and transform the future.
The overall objective of the InCUBE project in Zaragoza is to demonstrate that the rehabilitation of buildings in aging neighbourhoods can be carried out quickly, industrially, and energy-efficiently, using advanced digital technology, in order to create a model that can be exported to other buildings, neighbourhoods, and cities. The pilot demonstration project is being implemented in a highly representative post-war area, the Balsas de Ebro Viejo neighbourhood.
Ánako turns crisis into a culture-driven design process. By linking universities, local industries, and communities, it transforms humanitarian needs into locally produced solutions. Students, designers, and manufacturers collaborate to create life-saving products and social innovations, proving that arts and design can become a practical infrastructure for resilience, inclusion, and long-term regeneration.
Gothic Garden of the Organ Hall transforms the territory of the Organ Hall, a neglected historic site in Rivne, into a vibrant green cultural space. Initiated by the Philharmonic together with the local community, the project reimagined the area through ecological planting and its first open-air concert. Today, the garden hosts cultural events that celebrate heritage, bring people together, and strengthen community resilience in times of crisis.
The project aimed to transform the “Center of the Earth”, an educational community garden in Attica, into Greece’s first nature-based urban climate shelter to address both urban heat island challenges and energy poverty. It moved beyond climate adaptation to actively strengthen local democracy and foster a sense of belonging for marginalized groups by involving a diverse cross-section of the local community in every stage.
The objective of this project was to repurpose one of the town’s most central areas into an experimental community park. Through an educational and innovative, community-led co-creation process, the project aimed to empower residents to improve their living environment by creating a playful, adaptable inclusive space. This project serves as a prototype, testing future-oriented spatial solutions designed to enhance well-being and foster urban development in resource-constrained communities.
This project promotes Smart Villages in Sicily’s Madonie Park, combining heritage preservation, digital innovation, and active community engagement. It includes an Atlas of Technological Solutions and Guidelines for pilot municipalities to support sustainable rehabilitation, strengthen local economies, foster resilient, inclusive, and intelligent rural communities, and inspire the adoption and replication of best practices across inner areas and regions.
