Dovecotes for Ecological Futures
Re-imagining the Château du Feÿ Dovecote as a 500-year library & seedbank
France
This project is regenerating a ruined 16th-century dovecote (colombier) into a 500-year ecological infrastructure to support an agro-ecological renaissance in rural France. Currently under restoration by a team of artists, ecologists, and technologists, this 3-story heritage building is being repurposed as library, seedbank, and makerspace to restart a selective forestry cycle and restore the biodiversity of the surrounding forest and farmlands for present and future generations.

Oltreché
Oltreché - give away the furniture you don’t need!
Italy
In the last few decades, the furniture market has changed dramatically, replacing good quality items with more accessible fast furniture. This transformation and the huge growth of moving people has caused a severe excess of furniture . It is hard to resell these unused items, so people are forced to throw them away, despite their good condition.
Oltreché connects the objects’ owners to donate, to people who cannot afford new furniture.

Piazza Tevere
Enhancement of the identity of the Tiber River, seen in the three-dimensionality of a urban square
Italy
Today, the Tiber River is a huge urban void, low in relation to the city quota.
Our aim is to re-imagine the Lungotevere animated by a variety of activities, able to inspire a collective involvement in order to transform the site in the theatre of Rome daily life.
The (no-more only) retentive walls, released from their monumental rigidity, would be conceived as an adaptative structure, resilient both in absorbing the surrounding and generating aliveness.
Water is material and design element.

A matter of clay
A matter of clay: new scenarios of ceramic material composed of algae
Italy
This project examines how through material experience, the philosophy of “think globally act locally” and experimentation of tinkering it’s possible to renew and imagine new materials, products, and processes in a specific territorial context. During the research emerged a design framework on materials and territories enabled a different design approach that allowed to re-discover and re-innovate traditional materials and led to a renewed vision of their role as bearers of local values.

Hambach mine: Regeneration Perspectives
Hambach mine: Regeneration Perspectives of the Post Mining Landscape
Germany
The Hambach mine has long been a symbol of sacrifice for Germany's economic progress and at the same time the fight against fossil fuels. With the energy transition and climate agreements, this huge lignite is to be closed and turned into a lake.
Aim of the project is the enhancement of the post-mining landscape as an exceptional habitat that - once mining activities have ceased - constitutes a unique environment within which secondary succession takes place.
