As part of the 2025 Holcim Foundation Awards, the Europe Grand Prize goes to Art-Tek Tulltorja. Art-Tek Tulltorja revives a former brick factory in the heart of Pristina (Kosovo), transforming it into a thriving art and technology hub. Led by a collective team including Rafi Segal A+U, Office of Urban Drafters, ORG Permanent Modernity and Studio Rev, the project blends adaptive reuse and circular construction with solar power, recycled materials and abundant vegetation. The result: a “bricks to bytes” cultural and community-centered space — with maker studios, educational facilities, creative workshops, public parks and inclusive urban infrastructure — designed to foster social cohesion, ecological regeneration and new economic opportunities for Pristina’s residents. _project location: Pristina, Kosovo _project team: Rafi Segal A+ U, Office of Urban Drafters, ORG Permanent Modernity, Studio Rev | @segal_rafi @bramku @oud.architects @orgpermod @marisa_jahn

Humbled (and still in tears 🥹) to learn that we won the Grand Prize for the region of Europe! 🏆At yesterday’s @holcim_foundation event at @labiennale (Venice Biennale of Architecture) recognizing 16 winning projects from out of 887 global submissions, our project, Art-Tek Tulltorja, won the Grand Prize for the region of Europe. Our team is led by architects @segal_rafi @bramku @oud.architects @orgpermod + myself (@marisa_jahn ) as a collaborating artist. ✨ 🧱Located in a former brick factory and disinvested neighborhood, Art-Tek Tulltorja is a dynamic, climate-forward district where 21st-century creatives and entrepreneurs converge — a transformation from bricks to bytes. We share this honor on behalf of our many teammates and supporters in Kosovo — including newly elected Mayor @perparimrama and first lady @kristale — who have been championing this project to transform a brownfield in the middle of the country’s capital, Prishtina, into a vibrant art and technology district the size of NYC’s Times Square. It was an honor to hear @kjetil_thorsen , Chair of the European jury and founding partner of @snohetta , share his appreciation that our project — ambitious, sustainable, and always embracing culture at its center — encourages other small countries and post-conflict regions to lead boldly. Many thanks to our jurors: @tomstuartsmith @pierluigi_turco_afact @afact_architecturefactory @transsolar_klimaengineering @jlg_london @we.are.uns 🤟🏽Addtl Teammates: @saribula @aws_some @kevmalca @nolbinakaj @line.tifa @borlerwu Geoffrey Hazard @alireza_khalatbari @especes.despaces @superinfra Jae Sok Surh @nolbinakaj @mariga.derguti @hamdibinakaj @shqipdonamiftari @dafineg @valerjonn @florasogojeva_ @arditmuhadri @ronna.kasabaqi , Marigona Rexha #ArtTekTulltorja #Prishtina #Prishtine #Kosovo #Kosova #Albanian #adaptivereuse #sustainability

Honored to participate in “The Next Earth: Computation, Crisis, Cosmology,” an exhibition in @labiennale presented by @mitarchitecture + @antikythera_xyz at Palazzo Diedo, Venice @berggruendiedo . Our model invokes the scale of “Art-Tek Tulltorja,” a (real life) architecture, urbanism, and public art project transforming a former brick factory in Prishtina, Kosovo into an art and technology district.  @withregram • Climate Work: Un/Worlding the Planet May 9 - Nov 23 2025   Curated by: Nicholas de Monchaux @de_monchaux , Ana Miljacki @anamiljacki , Calvin Zhong @calzhone This exhibition presents many worlds of research, transported from the workshops and laboratories that complement and challenge a conversation on planetary computation — an infrastructure of which MIT is an instrumental part, and, as here, an observer, user, and critic. The unfinished nature of the works deliberately contrasts the polish of the Biennale as a whole; not conclusions or solutions but instead samples of research in the making, at best they offer a series of methods for knowing and addressing the climate crisis. Some may point to solutions. Some may contradict one another. The sound that bounces through the room of Palazzo Diedo’s second floor, is not explanatory, but it is documentary, evocative, and, in its own way, generative.
