Adelina Tahiri Nela
Co-founder, LOCUS, Finalist SAA 2025, Kosovo
Presentation title: RETROFITTING SUSTAINABLY
Case Studies: OLIVE - the dough factory. Set inside a former industrial shell, the project treats retrofit as a second fermentation: the building is not “renovated” so much as re-awakened. Dough is matter in suspense. It is neither raw ingredient nor final bread; it lives in the interval, in the waiting, in the patience of time.

Presentation title: Context, Clarity and Colour
This talk will start with setting the ‘context’ and working at a city scale explaining some of our masterplans and city making work. Then looking at a smaller scale we will look at some individual buildings and how the opportunities and constraints of the city can generate an architectural response, unique to the location. Finally, we will look at the opportunities to bring some colour or joy to the work.
