LINA Blueprints are a three-day live platform showcasing concrete ideas, methods and practices developed within the European architectural platform. The events and discussions will focus on processes, collaborations and modes of operation that address common architectural challenges, from living spaces and communities to materials and ecology.

Through a variety of activities, including lectures, talks, workshops, walks and film screenings, LINA Fellows and Members will present their vision of architecture as a collaborative process that emerges among people, in space and over time.

For its inaugural edition, LINA Blueprints will create an overview of the first three years of operations, which featured 136 collaborations with 73 LINA Fellows. The programme was co-developed with Federica Zambeletti, who was given the task to synthesise the varied modes of collaborations and their outcomes into digestible nuggets of insight. These can serve as blueprints for anyone looking to use spatial practices to create communities themselves.

LINA Blueprints: (un)common practice 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.
