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.

Federica Zambeletti, the LINA Blueprints Curator, will open this year's festival at the on 15 April. Her lecture, titled Collaboration as practice, will present how the festival approaches collaboration as communing, a way of working, learning, and inhabiting space together.

Rooted in the LINA community, the festival understands the platform as a living collective that gathers, exchanges, and produces knowledge in common. Communing unfolds through cooking, walking, writing, building, and conversing. These acts become spatial practices through which the community rehearses forms of togetherness that are situated, bioregional, and collective. Architecture shifts from object making toward relationship making between people, territories, and institutions. The “un” in uncommon acknowledges that community is never seamless. It holds friction, difference, and negotiation. Rather than presenting finished answers, the festival foregrounds process and shared responsibility as the ground for future spatial practice.

◼️

Federica Zambeletti is an architect working at the intersection of art, architecture, and critical theory. She is the founder and managing director of KoozArch, a studio and magazine dedicated to exploring architecture as a cultural, political, and ecological practice beyond its built form. Conceived as an open and inclusive platform for research, experimentation, and dialogue, KoozArch foregrounds architecture’s capacity to engage with urgent planetary, social, and cultural questions. Through editorial projects, conversations, and collaborations, it expands spatial discourse and advances alternative modes of practice and knowledge production.

The LINA Forum in Pristina was incredible! So many connections were made, ideas exchanged and conversations started: we look forward to seeing where the web of connections that LINA knits takes us in the years to come. The new generation of LINA Fellows brought so many thoughtful and kind people to our community, and we are privileged to be a part of it.

Each year, our meetings become more meaningful. With uncertain geopolitical contexts framing the everyday lives of more and more of our community members, the strength and importance of our connections is growing.

We are deeply thankful to our hosts, with and .kasabaqi for making us feel at home in their city and so generously sharing its many perspectives.

Our sincere thanks go to the .rks the City of Pristina for welcoming us, and to and for sharing the space where we exchanged ideas.

Thank you to for bringing Swiss architects to LINA, and to za arhitekturo for coordination and support.

Our whole community would not be possible without .eu, who co-funds our platform from its inception.

LINA Alumnus Ewa Effiom will present the State of Architecture address, where he will reflect on the state of architecture by looking, paradoxically, to the past. Architecture, like much of culture, finds itself haunted by the futures modernity once promised and never delivered. The optimism of progress has curdled into inertia, where design’s ubiquity makes it both a symptom and cause of the crises we face which are environmental, social, and political. Drawing on Derrida, Mark Fisher, and Fredric Jameson, the talk traces how the disappearance of the future, what Fisher called the “slow cancellation of the future,” has left the discipline suspended between nostalgia and exhaustion.

Ewa Effiom is a London-based Belgo-Nigerian architect and writer whose work explores image culture, futurism, and mythology through the lens of space. A graduate of the Architecture Foundation’s New Architecture Writers programme, his writing has appeared in architecture and design publications throughout the world. His essay Architecture, Buildings and Conservation in MAJA was nominated for Best Piece at the 2022 Estonian Architecture Awards, following second place in the 2021 Tallinn Architecture Biennale Curatorial Competition with Adaptive Re-use. His films Eagle Mansions and Beck Road have screened internationally, from Melbourne Design Week to the Venice Architecture Biennale. In 2022 he was awarded the How To Residency at the Canadian Centre for Architecture, and in 2023 became a LINA Fellow and Film Lab resident at MAXXI, where he made When One Door Opens. His most recent film was a collaboration for Theatrum Mundi’s Staging Ground Residency, exploring infrastructural change in post-Olympic Paris.
