SYSTEMS OF SUPPORT is a two-part audio series accompanying the 2026 edition of the International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (IABR). Taking the biennale’s exploration of the systems that sustain everyday life as its starting point, the series asks how architecture can contribute to more equitable and regenerative ways of living. Moving beyond architecture as Form Follows Finance, the biennale put the emphasis on value creation. Through conversations on collective practice, material knowledge and shared learning, it considers the relationships that make building possible—and how these might support lasting social and ecological change.

In the first episode of SYSTEMS OF SUPPORT, LMNL and Organizmo explore how architecture can sustain local knowledge and regional building cultures. From community-led education and ancestral material practices to structural stone and exchanges with quarry workers, the conversation considers building as a process of shared learning, grounded in the people, materials and ecologies of a place.
