Founded in 2018 and based in Argentina, LINA Plataforma (Laboratory > Intervention + Architecture) presents itself as a global research and experimentation platform linked to cultural heritage, aiming to reflect on the relationship between heritage, sustainability, and design education.
With the purpose of promoting a more just, humane, and inclusive world, and driven by a spirit of collective and participatory knowledge, the platform is dedicated to developing projects, educational programs, activities, and publications that engage students, professionals, and the wider community. Composed of Mariana Quiroga, Carolina Quiroga, Juan Manuel Alonso, Lucas van Zuijlen, Santiago Agostinelli, Yamila González, and Luciano Ricci, the LINA team posits that heritage represents the tangible and intangible testimonies that define us as a society and culture. They maintain that creative and innovative solutions can be generated through design to integrate the past into contemporary life, viewing architectural education as a strategic means to envision a sustainable future for cultural heritage.
