Regenerative living practices in rural areas

10 – 22 February 2025

As part of Thinking with a garden residency series we invited Alberto Roncelli to investigate into the potential impacts of architectural practices in socio/cultural/natural regeneration. Following our long-term inquiry into how can architecture(s) facilitate restoration of bonding with the landscape, Alberto’s residency revolved around potentials of architectural practice to enhance attentive, sustainable, and poetic approaches to habitation.

The residency has set a beginning for the investigation into the significance of building at the intersection of the site's local ecologies and landscapes, engaging meaningfully with local stakeholders, conducting in-depth observations and analyses, and beginning to develop some site-specific artefacts that embody ecological and regenerative intentions of Foresta in this place.
