The fort of Isola di Sant'Andrea was built between 1543 and 1549 by Michele Sanmicheli for the Republic of Venice, guarding the entrance where the lagoon meets the Adriatic Sea. It was the site where the Republic celebrated the annual "Wedding of the Sea" and where the first cannons were fired against Napoleon, leading to the fall of the republic in 1797. Since then, the island was left as military property and gradually reclaimed by spontaneous vegetation and lagoon ecosystems. Following an open tender, we were awarded a 30year concession to make the island open to the public. The architectural strategy is built around the concept of mutual support: reclaimed timber structures brace deteriorating walls, partially reconstruct collapsed roofs, and create sheltered conditions for future use without prescribing fixed functions. Constructed wetlands, rainwater harvesting, and solar panels make the island self-sufficient in energy and water. Development will continue through ongoing workshops and public programming, collaborating with local groups, artists, academics, and scientists across disciplines, employing bioregional building techniques and engaging the wider community in the process, with the intent of establishing a genuinely open and non-commercial space on Isola di Sant’Andrea.Location: Google maps Team: Paolo Rosso, Mauro Baronchelli, Sara Maggioni, Giorgio Andreotta Calò, Marco Bravetti, Kristine Jærn Pilgaard and Alexander Eriksson Furunes.

In response to the high demand and active use of Grendehuset, a project was initiated to construct an extension for the community center in Sletteløkka, Oslo. This extension, Kunstgartneriet (The art greenhouse), serves as a venue for exhibitions, workshops, events, and art projects, while also providing space for pre-cultivation of plants along the large glass facade. Kunstgartneriet will be built using reused materials from an old barn in Hønefoss and an old Japanese house, imported from Tokyo and exhibited as part of the Venice Biennale 2021.

The goal of this four-year project (2025–2028) is to develop innovative pedagogical strategies that enhance artistic and practice-based methodologies at the Department of Architecture and Planning (IAP), Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway, and the Department of Architecture, School of Science and Engineering, Meiji University in Japan. By engaging with design-build projects and existing practices of mutual support—dugnad in Norway and yui in Japan—the project aims to explore new ways of learning and co-producing architecture through close collaboration with municipalities in both countries. Structured as a mutual exchange between the two institutions, the project seeks to provide enhanced learning environments for master’s and doctoral students, facilitate pedagogical development for academic staff, and conduct experimental interventions with local communities. Emphasis is placed on face-to-face activities and hands-on workshops to encourage the transfer of tacit knowledge that cannot be conveyed solely through words. This practical experience will form the basis for critical reflection through exhibitions, seminars, and publications, ultimately contributing to pedagogical development and the creation of joint curricula that will endure beyond the project period.

Curated by Ute Meta Bauer, the Diriyah Biennale titled “After Rain,” is an increasingly significant event on the global art scene. The work “Lifting Together” examines the physical act of lifting something heavy together as a metaphor for mutual support. It embodies a shared experience where individuals coordinate, communicate, and sense each other’s efforts, illustrating how decisions emerge through the process of doing. Mutual support is depicted through this analogy—a shared moment where effort is collective, offering a space to make decisions and act upon them collaboratively. To achieve this, understanding the knowledge and values that underpin decisions, as well as how to communicate and reason together, is essential. The contribution presents how such collaborative processes occur through practices like dugnad (Norway), bayanihan (Philippines), đôi công (Vietnam), and mutirão (Brazil).
