LINA

LINA European platform. Learning, Interacting and Networking in Architecture.

31/07/2026

LINA Alumna Zala Velkavrh (Prostorož) described her experience of LINA: from networking with Members, meeting all the Fellows, embarking on an unexpected collaboration and making really great friends along the way. Each experience is very different: some Fellows collaborate lots, others less so; some stick to their proposal's topic very closely, others discover entirely new fields.

The Open Call for the new generation of LINA Fellows is open until 3 August!

Our international alliance is looking for emerging creatives working at the intersection of architecture and spatial practices to better our common future. All kinds of bold thinkers and practitioners are invited to apply with a proposal illustrating their ideas.
Up to 22 individuals and teams will be selected at this call to attend the LINA Forum (Barcelona, Spain, October 2026) to create connections and initiate collaborations with organisations from across Europe.

LINA is co-funded by .eu, Swiss participation is supported by .

LINA is a community of people who work towards a united creative vision and find common ground in our inclusive values. Our network is a creative flow of co-creation, collaboration, and mentoring, both among the 31 member organisations and in tandem with emerging creatives. Being part of LINA means being part of an experience in which we create and curate relationships, and bring people together with plan and ambition.

Starting 1 June 2026, the Swedish cultural centre, triennial and non-profit foundation Färgfabriken will be joining LINA’s community of member organisations!

Selected from among 79 cultural organisations from across Europe who applied to the 2026 Call for Members, Färgfabriken received unanimous support among shortlisted candidates. The Governing Board who headed the selection process underlined Färgfabriken’s “deep alignment with LINA’s values of sustainability, interdisciplinary, collaboration and mentorship. These values are grounded in Färgfabriken’s 30 years of experience of bringing together art, architecture and urban development.”

Director Anna-Karin Wulgué joined the LINA General Assembly in Ljubljana in April to present the organisation and its vision in supporting emerging creatives in the LINA Architecture Programme. Färgfabriken will bring fresh perspectives, innovative approaches, and a strong commitment to collaboration, further strengthening LINA’s mission to foster regenerative and inclusive spatial practices across Europe.

The full report of the two-tier selection process is available on the LINA website in the notes section. LINA extends its sincere gratitude to all applicants for their dedication and contributions!

In April, we launched the first annual LINA Blueprints, and with it, the exhibition Materials & Libraries. Don't miss the guided tours: the first one is taking place this Sunday!

Materials & Libraries presents the work of LINA Fellows who are shifting the focus of architecture away from the constant production of novelty towards a practice that strives for a more just society, for responsible stewardship of our planet’s limited resources, and for an architecture grounded in care.

The exhibition presents the programmes of TU Vienna, Atelier LUMA, the LINA Library programme by dpr-barcelona, and featuring 6 films created through LINA collaborations.

Join curator & LINA Coordinator Nuša Zupanc Pavlič on guided tours of the exhibition at the Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO) on:
- Sunday 10 May at 12.00;
- Friday 15. May at 17.00 (stay for the "A Free Palestine" discussion with Antoine Raffoul)
- Sunday, 24. May at 12.00,
- Sunday, 31. May at 11.00

The LINA community launched the first Blueprints festival last week! Gathering at and , we dove into the methods that our architecture programme explored in its first three years. Over 300 collaborations between LINA Fellows and LINA Members took place in this time. In Ljubljana, we took a close look at the wealth of knowledge that was created and set a course for future explorations: through material research, questions of housing, approaches to learning and unlearning, and through the prism of film and writing, among others.

With curator Federica Zambeletti we were excited to showcase our (un)common practices through our shared meaning of collaboration: as communing, a way of working, learning, and inhabiting space together.

Our work is made possible with the support of .eu, the European Union’s funding programme for the cultural and creative sectors.
LINA Blueprints is also supported by and .rs.

The LINA Blueprints will be returning to Ljubljana next April.

At the opening of the LINA Blueprints, Alexandra Trofin, director of .eu will present her lecture Lenses of Care: Long-Term Impact of the Temporal. In it, she will outline the Beta Biennale as it promotes an architecture of action, defined by the desire to be proactive, to collaborate, to enter into dialogue and to relate.

Alexandra Trofin is an architect working at the intersection of design, cultural production and public administration. She is an advisor to the Mayor of Timișoara and the director of the Beta Architecture Biennial—an international platform that connects education, the city, and the architectural profession through dialogue and experimentation.

Her work explores architecture’s role as both a professional discipline and a cultural practice capable of shaping more inclusive and meaningful urban environments. She has contributed to projects ranging from urban design and curatorial initiatives to architectural competitions, across local and international contexts.

Educated in Timișoara and shaped by experience in both Romanian and international offices, Alexandra has also contributed to architectural education as a teaching assistant, before founding her own practice, Atelier Spațial. She is Vice President of the Timiș Branch of the Romanian Order of Architects, where she is actively involved in strategic development and public-facing programs.

As part of LINA Blueprints, we'll be opening the exhibition Materials and Libraries: it will be on show throughout the festival, with the official opening taking place on Friday evening at 19.00 in .

The exhibition presents the work of LINA Fellows, who are shifting the focus of architecture away from the constant production of novelty towards a practice that strives for a more just society, for responsible stewardship of our planet’s limited resources, and for an architecture grounded in care.

Changes in our shared practice rely primarily on the self-initiative of individuals whose work demonstrates the kind of architecture they wish to create. The LINA Platform advocates for such alternatives to become commonplace and available to all.

Made of three parts, the exhibition features two material-focused programmes of TU Vienna / .tuwien , LUMA Arles and the LINA Library project headed by@dpr_barcelona.
