🔎 Special mention in Felanitx-Es Sindicat (ES)
-- ANCORAR. Un espai per a quasi tot --
by AS: Claudia Ferrer Riera (ES), Iolanda Salca (RO), Javier Esteve Casañ (ES) – architects

"Since its origin, the Sindicat has been a building with a productive vocation, almost like a machine. The proposal aims to recover that essence: the new Sindicat is a functional and dynamic building that not only minimizes its energy demand but is also capable of generating its own energy. Locating technological systems on the roof frees up interior space to host new productive uses—different from the original ones, but still deeply connected to activity and community life. Ancorar is a forward-looking proposal rooted in optimism. It embraces the idea of motion so characteristic of a machine, but with memory. Avoiding the loss of continuity with the existing, it anchors itself in Felanitx, in the Sindicat, and in its memory—recovering the soul of a building and of a town."

🔎 Special mention in Navalmoral de la Mata (ES)
-- reCOSER --
by AS: Ignacio Merino Rivero (ES), Berta Rueda Cano (ES) – architects

"The name of our project itself comes from the word “recoser” (to sew back together): we reuse existing gaps in the city to create new 15-minute neighborhoods, eliminating existing barriers, reconnecting points, and improving circulation between them. We take advantage of these new connections to bring greenery back to the city and promote internal activity in each gap. The materials used come from the town, taking advantage of local materials and through actions that will always benefit the inhabitants of Navalmoral de la Mata. That is why it can be considered regenerative, as the main issue is to bring life back to forgotten spaces, prioritizing the expansion of nature and public use."

🔎 Special mention in Jullouville (FR)
-- Épicentre d'intérêts --
by AS: Aurélien Rousselle (FR), Geoffrey Castille (FR) – architects

"Our goal is to create new dynamics from the social and solidarity economy at the heart of the territory. Revitalize the city on each season by activating an exceptional site with own natural spaces and highly adaptable architecture. We propose to transform a former enclave into a site where interests from across the territory converge, a place ready to be nurtured by strong and collective ideas."

🔎 Special mention in Turku (FI)
-- Bäckbo --
by AS: Aura Pajamo (FI) – architect, Tuulikki Peltomäki (FI) – landscape architect, M***a Tikka (FI) – urbanist

"Our plan promotes resident-centered, multi-generational and care-oriented living environment. We restore the old stream, expand flood space as part of diverse habitats and recreation, and make stormwater a key asset. Inspired by the landscape’s history, we strengthen meadow, forest, and water networks and create spaces for gardening plots as a memory from the agricultural history of the site. We also propose temporary and new building uses and material reuse in the Resourcing and reusing hub."

🔎 Special mention in Amersfoort-Otto Scheltus (NL)
-- Stop demolition and make sense of place --
by AS: Daan Vulkers (NL), Keimpke Zigterman (NL) – architects
Contributor: Antonio Acocella (IT) – visualiser

"The title “Stop demolition and make sense of place” forms the core argument of our proposal. In the context of today’s housing crisis, we advocate for the reuse of existing buildings and demonstrate how transformation can enrich the built environment rather than diminish it. The Otto Scheltusflat is a modernist giant: a concrete structure of a scale and materiality that would no longer be built today. Our approach was therefore to retain as much of the existing building as possible—avoiding the waste of embodied carbon already invested, while preserving the architectural language and identity of the structure."

🔎 Special mention in La Nive (FR)
-- Le contrat moral de la Nive --
by AS: Louise Deshayes (FR) – engineer architect, Justine Laliche (FR) – architect
Collaboratrices: Mathilde Martinot-Lagarde (FR) – engineer architect, Léa Louis-Tardieu (FR) – architect

"We wanted to consider the Nive River not as a resource to be exploited, but as a natural entity that sustains the territory through the ecosystem services it provides. We then asked ourselves how to repay these services, how to give back to the Source, to Re-source. Through the project “The Moral Contract of the Nive,” we propose that our human capacity to build community be harnessed in the form of citizen governance that guarantees a moral contract committing us to the Nive River to return all services rendered."

🔎 Special mention in Zagreb (HR)
-- Learning from Klara --
by AS: Sara Blekic (HR), Antea Divic (HR), Maciej Wieczorkowski (PL) – architects

"Our project re-sources what already exists, including social practices, informal spatial logics, ecological cycles, and time. Instead of importing form, it regenerates capacity through minimal interventions that strengthen publicness, care, and adaptability over time. By reusing material, spatial, and social resources, the project enables continuous renewal rather than finite solutions."

🔎 Special mention in Grand Nancy (FR)
-- CINQ/CINQ : Penser les transversalités --
by AS: Hadrien Cassan (FR) – urbanist and landscape architect, Anatole Poirier (FR) – architect and urbanist, Alex Roux (FR), Juliette Soubrane (FR) – architects

"Working with a fragmented territory, between infrastructures and heterogeneous urban fabrics, the project deliberately takes root from a contextual positioning: working with what is already there. Rather than overlaying an exogenous narrative, the aim is to reveal the potential of each site by building on and from existing structures whether built, programmatic, landscape, social, and historical."

🔎 Special mention in Felanitx-Es Sindicat (ES)
-- RELEARNING COEXISTENCE --
by AS: Silvia Gelain (FR) – architect and landscape architect
CO: Ekaterina Solonina (RO) – architect

"The project began with a historical and sociological study of Felanitx and Es Sindicat at its foundation, which emerged a strong example of community engagement. A second phase explored contemporary social dynamics through research on community, heritage, and unity. The challenge was to translate 1920 to 2025 by reinterpreting Es Sindicat’s values for today’s society, asking how historical values can operate now and rebuild community through history."

🔎 Special mention in Dembeni (FR)
-- Chronicles of a living pact, Dembéni a breath in three waves --
by AS: Amélie Chézeaux (FR), Adriana Filain (FR), Chloé Avogadro (FR), Juliette Osman (FR) – architects

"Our project approaches Re-sourcing by reactivating three fundamental resources: natural dynamics, social solidarities, and local materiality. Faced with the imbalances caused by runoff, land movement and rising water levels, we chose to work with living forces rather than against them. Landscaped swales, agricultural terraces and refuge structures create a slow, layered system that infiltrates, retains and redirects flows, repairing soils and relieving pressure on vulnerable areas."
