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. Her previous cultural initiatives include the transformation of an 18th-century palazzo into a foundation for Anish Kapoor, exhibition designs for LAS Art Foundation and the Willem de Kooning Foundation, and the research project Antarctic Resolution. The latter culminated in a 1,000-page publication with Lars Müller Publishers and a series of international exhibitions, including presentations at the Venice Biennale and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid.

Drawing on over eight years of bioregional design practice at Atelier LUMA and three years of LINA research residencies, the talk will try and reflect on what it means to build a methodology from the ground up, without knowing in advance what you will find, what materials will respond, or what collaborators will make possible. From pressed shell-and-lime bricks to forgotten structural timbers, from olive pit waste to board games, the work that has emerged defies easy prediction. Rather than a limitation, this uncertainty has proven to be a precondition of the practice itself. The talk closes not with conclusions, but with a question for the room: where does bioregional practice go from here?

Daniel Ireland is an architect and researcher based in Arles, France, where he has worked at Atelier LUMA since 2017. His work sits at the intersection of architecture, materials research, and bioregional design, investigating the resources, knowledge, and collaborators embedded in a place and translating these into built and designed outcomes. Recent projects include the Magasin Électrique (Lot 8) in Arles, No Building is an Island, a folly for the Gwangju Biennale in South Korea and led Atelier LUMA’s collaboration with LINA.

Global CO2 emissions have risen from 5 gigatonnes (Gt) to 37 Gt per year over the past century, of which the construction sector is responsible for approximately 37%. The Earth and the oceans can absorb only 19 Gt of CO2 annually, which corresponds to the available global carbon budget. And we spend twice we have.

The EU’s binding climate neutrality target for 2050 requires emissions to be reduced by 55% by 2030 and by 92% by 2050. If the carbon budget were to limit the number of dwellings we can build – as the financial budget has done until now –, what needs to be done to reduce these values in architectural design?

In the Balearic Islands, an example has been developed collectively, consisting of configuring habitability based on the 'map of local resources', which includes many factors such as social (knowledge & buildings traditions, typologies, skills, available labor, etc.), atmospheric (sun, rain, wind, etc.), or the local low-carbon materials that constitute the vernacular architecture, the cultural heritage, and the landscape of each territory, like stone or earth. In addition to materials derived from the optimisation of industrial processes, such as urban mining.

Not only have simple compression structures proved to offer greater durability and minimal embodied CO₂ emissions, they also provide the necessary inertia and mass to withstand extreme heatwaves, particularly in Mediterranean climates.
