Lilipur comes from a simple idea: polluted lagoons don’t need to be fixed with heavy infrastructure, but supported with systems that behave like natural ecosystems. It works with natural processes: salt-tolerant plants, their filtering roots, and absorbent substrates that clean the water over time. These elements are combined into floating systems adapted to each site. Sensors simply help us understand what is happening below the surface. The goal is to let ecosystems recover through nature-based infrastructure.

We Will Design 2026 — HELLO, DARKNESS embraces design as a tool for subverting hierarchies and weaving together ecologies and technologies to imagine the cities and societies of the future.
It is an invitation to recognize the abyss — political, ecological, aesthetic — we’re living in, not as a place of fear, but as a space of regeneration, resistance, and imagination. Darkness here is not absence, but a fertile condition that embraces invisible gestures, marginalized knowledge, and luminous forms of resistance.
