It also manages the Balearic Islands public housing stock (1,753 social rental homes in 2019). At this moment, 1,118 new dwellings are either finished, under construction or at the drafting stage of the project with a construction budget. These 46 promotions, adapted to the scale of the islands’ towns, follow the principles of the Life Reusing Posidonia project, funded by the European LIFE+ for Nature Conservation & Climate Change Adaptation Projects, awarded with the 2021 LIFE Award for Best Environment Project by the European Commission.
    The goal is to increase the housing stock to 3,000 dwellings, including inputs from other procedures. The Institute’s desire to constantly increase this stock is based on two core objectives: to tackle both the current housing crisis and the ongoing climate emergency. Most of these housing projects have been designed by external studios via a project competition or public tenders. Experienced, well-known teams as well as young emerging talents have provided examples of a new language based on a change of model to fulfil the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which prioritize maximum comfort using passive criteria to reduce energy poverty, the use of preferably local materials with a low CO2 footprint, and the inclusion of the gender perspective in the design, all of this seeking the highest architectural quality. Paradoxically, this new language emerges from the recovery and adaptation of the local Balearic heritage to contemporary needs.
    The IBAVI’s work has been published and exhibited extensively, and won several awards (such as the AE Emerging Award 2022).
  • Carlos Bunga
  • Artist

  • Carlos Bunga (b. 1976 Porto) attended the Escola Superior de Arte e Design in Caldas da Rainha, in Portugal. He currently lives and works near Barcelona. Bunga uses mass-produced materials such as cardboard, adhesive tape and household paint to produce site-specific process-oriented installations. Emerging from a dialogue with the existing architectural space, these ephemeral structures recall life-size architectural models as well as temporary street shelters. Through his work, Bunga not only encourages viewers to rethink their experience of space and architecture, but also evokes the transient and fragile nature of urban structures. His work has been featured in group exhibitions at the Artists Space, New York (2005); New Museum, New York (2007); Warsaw Museum of Modern Art (2009); the National Museum of Art, Cardiff (2014) and the Guggenheim Bilbao (2016). Bunga participated in “Manifesta 5” in San Sebastián (2004); “inSite_05”at the San Diego Museum of Art (2005); “14th Carrara International Sculpture Biennial” (2010); “29th Biennial de São Paulo” (2010); “Artes Mundi 6” in Cardiff (2013) and the Chicago Architecture Biennial (2015). do Estado de São Paulo (2010); Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2011); Museo Serralves, Porto (2012); Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City (2013); Museo Amparo, Puebla (2014); Haus Konstruktiv Museum, Zurich (2015); Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (2015); MOCA, Detroit (2018); MAAT, Lisbon (2019); MOCA Toronto (2020); Whitechapel, London (2020); Secession, Wien (2021), Palacio de Cristal – Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid (2022) and Bombas GensCentre d´Art, Valencia.

  • Architects

  • Christoph Wagner (*1968) and Wenke Schladitz (*1970) worked and researched in Berlin, Paris and New York. Since 2009 they have been designing houses and structures in their Berlin studio that deal with new forms of living and co-living.
    Nos últimos anos Christoph Wagner e Wenke Schladitz dirigem a sua prática e investigação projetual na criação de espaços para grupos vulneráveis tais como comunidade LGBTQIA+, pessoas com deficiências diversas e/ou antecedentes de refugiados - ou seja, com experiências interseccionais de discriminação.
    In addition to several new buildings in Berlin, they have realized conversion and reuse projects in recent years.
    They hope that these kinds of projects will become even more important in their practice and that architects of the future will be more concerned with strategies of adaptive reuse than with building new.

  • Novonovo
  • Platform for the circular economy

  • Novonovo facilitates access to materials that retain the qualities necessary for reuse in new contexts, namely production surpluses, materials defects, unsold stock, etc.
    Starting in 2020, the start-up seeks to disseminate the practice of upcycling in architecture, interior architecture, and product design, enabling the use of reusable materials in projects ideated by professionals, organizations, or private individuals. It supports the development of design and architectural projects through consultancy and management of the production. It operates through a network of professionals with different skills depending on the scale of the project.
    In 2022 Novonovo launched a digital platform that allows access to a catalog of secondary materials coming from partner industries, construction, and other urban contexts.
    The work extends to the field of education where, through training, workshops, and debates, it encourages a new design practice focused on designing from "what you have" rather than "what you want".
    In a holistic way, Novonovo encourages new regenerative cycles that allow materials to be redistributed so that they don't become waste.

  • Sofie Devriendt
  • Architect, AgwA

  • Since 2003, AgwA has been working on architectural projects of various scales, both in Belgium and internationally. These projects mainly involve mixed programs combining housing and community infrastructures; and involve new buildings as well as renovation or transformation projects. In each case, the meeting of programmatic needs, urban planning and specific constraints is dealt with creativity and pragmaticism, resulting in architecture with a strong and distinctive identity.
    Simplicity, efficiency, and sustainability at ecological and social levels are at the heart of AgwA’s practice.
    By avoiding the temptation and superficiality of contemporary aesthetics or the convenience of ready-made ideas, AgwA devotes a great deal of effort to understanding the fundamental issues at stake in each project. Formulating the problem correctly is an important step towards solving it.
    AgwA’s architectural work was recently featured in a monographic exhibition at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, organized jointly by BOZAR and A+ Magazine.

    Sofie Devriendt (b. 1989) graduated as a civil engineer and architect from the University of Ghent in 2012. Since then, she worked for several small architecture practices in Ghent before joining AgwA in 2016.
    Sofie has been teaching since 2017, as a jury member in several Belgian architecture schools (ULB, University of Ghent, KU Leuven – Sint Lucas, UCLouvain) and is a teaching assistant at the Faculty of Architecture ULB La Cambre-Horta in Brussels since 2021.
