Living Future Europe

25/09/2026

20 years of Habitech - and a partnership that means a lot to us at Living Future Europe.

Joining the anniversary celebration today in Levico Terme: two decades of work advancing sustainability and innovation in the built environment.

Habitech is a Just organisation, has supported the growth of Living Future Europe for several years, and today our collaboration continues in another very concrete way: LFE is advising Habitech on the Zero Carbon certification of the renovation of its offices at Progetto Manifattura in Rovereto. A great example of putting ambition into practice.

And nice to see the conversation moderated by Materia Rinnovabile - Renewable Matter, another long-standing partner of ours.

Happy 20th, Habitech - and looking forward to what comes next. 🌱

At Marmomac in Verona today, surrounded by some fascinating research and experimentation with natural stone.

Later, at The Future Skin, I’ll bring a Living Future Europe perspective on what comes next: from promises to proven performance, from carbon reduction to regenerative outcomes, and from “less bad” to “more good.”

The question for the stone sector is an exciting one: what role can this ancient material play in the regenerative built environment of the future?

📍 This morning at Alpha Innovation Live at NOI Techpark.

One theme keeps returning: the tension between incremental innovation and radical innovation.

For many organisations, incremental innovation feels safer. It improves existing products, processes, and business models. And it is often necessary.

But when the context itself is changing, improvement alone is no longer enough.

We are living through an age of technological disruption, geopolitical instability, social fragmentation, and ecological overshoot. The built environment is not immune to any of these forces.

This is why so many of Living Future Europe’s partners are asking a deeper question:

How do we innovate not only within the current system, but toward a fundamentally different one?

The transition from a less-bad built environment to a regenerative one is not an incremental challenge. It requires new ways of designing, financing, governing, and measuring success.

That doesn’t mean abandoning incremental progress. It means creating the organisational capacity to do both.

Today’s discussion at Alpha Innovation Live is therefore highly relevant to our work: cultivating the courage, culture, and leadership needed to make room for the kind of innovation our turbulent times increasingly demand.

A quick update on the Call for Contributions. 🌿
Thank you for the incredible response to this year's Biophilia Summit.

Due to the high number—and outstanding quality—of submissions, we're taking a little extra time to carefully review every proposal.

As a result, the notification date has been moved to the 7th of August.
Thank you for your patience—we can't wait to share this year's program with you.

In case you didn't know... we like to reward our early birds.
Register for the Biophilia Summit 2026 before 24th August and enjoy 25% off your ticket.

But here's an even better reason to register early.

Over the past few weeks, we received 100+ contributions from 20+ countries, spanning research, built projects, innovative products, policy initiatives and creative practices. The response exceeded our expectations—and reviewing them has been both inspiring and incredibly challenging.

That's exactly the kind of challenge we hoped for.

Our review committee is now curating a programme that reflects the diversity, quality and ambition of today's biophilia community. We can already say with confidence that this year's edition will feature an exceptional line-up of speakers and perspectives.

If you're looking for fresh ideas, practical inspiration and meaningful connections, we'd love to welcome you on 24 September.

🎟 Early Bird registrations are open until 24 August.

Because some opportunities are worth planning ahead for.

You've got one last weekend!
If you've been thinking about submitting your work to the Biophilia Summit 2026, consider this your reminder.
The Call for Contributions closes this Monday (27 July).

Whether you're working on a research project, a built project, an innovative product, a policy initiative or a creative practice, we'd love to hear from you.

And remember: at this stage, we're only asking for an abstract—not your final presentation.

If selected, you'll have the opportunity to present your work to an international audience of researchers, designers, manufacturers, developers, educators and practitioners exploring this year's theme:

Biophilia in Practice: Sensing, Belonging, Regenerating

If your work contributes to strengthening the relationship between people and nature, don't miss this opportunity to share it.

📅 Submission deadline: Monday, 27 July @ 11:59PM CEST
🔗 Submit your abstract: https://loom.ly/N9-mKEU

Over the past months—or even years—you've probably invested countless hours into a research project, a built intervention, a new product, a methodology, or an idea tested through practice.

So here's a question: What's the best way to share it?

The Biophilia Summit isn't just a place to present your work. It's an opportunity to share it with an international community of researchers, designers, manufacturers, developers, educators, artists and changemakers who care about the relationship between people and nature.

Now in its 4th edition, the Summit has become one of the leading international online platforms dedicated exclusively to biophilia, bringing together more than 50 speakers, 20 disciplines and participants from six continents.

Whether your contribution is grounded in research, practice, innovation or creative exploration, presenting it is an opportunity to:
- exchange ideas across disciplines
- connect with like-minded professionals
- spark new collaborations
- inspire future projects
- help advance the future of biophilia

Your work doesn't have to change the world overnight. It might simply change someone's perspective—and that's often where meaningful change begins.

Applications are open until 27 July @ 11:59PM. Send us an abstract of your project!
https://loom.ly/N9-mKEU

We'd love to see what conversation your work can help move forward.

As we move beyond sustainability towards regeneration, this question is becoming increasingly relevant—not only for architects and designers, but also for policymakers, researchers, manufacturers and communities.

That's why we're pleased to contribute to the Africa Biophilic Building Conference & Expo 2026, organised by the Green Biophilic Living Society (GBLS).
Bringing together professionals from across disciplines, the conference explores how biophilic thinking and regenerative design can help create healthier buildings, stronger communities and more resilient cities across Africa.

We're looking forward to sharing perspectives, learning from inspiring projects and connecting with those advancing the relationship between people, nature and the built environment.
