The Canning Town Caravanserai was a temporary (5-year) occupation of a vacant brownfield in east London. It was initiated by the Ash Sakula Architects in collaboration with EXYZT, The Building Exploratory, and a host of other local organisations and individuals. 

Historically, "caravanserai" refers to a roadside inn or rest stop in the Middle East and Central Asia, where travellers could rest, exchange goods, and socialise. The Canning Town Caravanserai embodied this concept by creating a space where locals could come together and exchange ideas, skills, and resources. 

The project involved repurposing shipping containers, reclaimed materials, and sustainable construction methods to create a series of temporary structures, including a café, workshop spaces, gardens, and performance areas. These spaces were designed to host various activities such as workshops, markets, performances, and community events. 

The Habitat for Orphan Girls is a ground-breaking prototype of an orphanage designed to challenge the dictated way of life of orphan girls in Iran. It builds on vernacular architectural introversion to create a safe, nurturing environment while allowing the girls to be a part of the world beyond the orphanage's walls on their own terms. 

The Haus der Statistik is a GDR-era office building from the 1970s in Alexanderplatz, previously destined for demolition. During the 1990s and early 2000s, the building fell into a state of neglect. Various proposals for its redevelopment were discussed, but none came to fruition, and the building remained unused, becoming a symbol of post-reunification challenges in urban planning and development. In the late 2010s, a significant shift occurred driven by community and cultural stakeholders. Artists, cultural organisations, and local activists recognised the potential of the building as a space for creative and community-driven uses. They began advocating for its preservation and redevelopment. Responding to this grassroots movement, the City of Berlin took a more active role in the redevelopment process. There is currently a revitalisation initiative for the building, envisioning and negotiating its conversion into a mix of affordable living and working spaces. 

Hammarby Sjöstad is a district with low environmental impact in Stockholm developed from a former industrial area. The project, initiated in the 1990s, follows a holistic approach towards systems stewardship, including solid waste, water, transportation and energy systems. Hammarby Sjöstad serves as an international model for sustainable neighbourhood design. 

Test Site is a collaborative community-based project that enables public engagement with architecture, ecology, sustainable urban landscapes and community-organized events. The project takes a vacant site in Kyrl’s Quay, Cork, and through small interventions and events programming brings life and use back into the place.

The Vindmøllebakken project is an innovative response to the need for socially sustainable living spaces that reduce the carbon footprint and enhance residents' quality of life. It is constructed entirely from wood and features privately owned apartments (40 co-living homes, 10 apartments and 4 townhouses) surrounding a shared 500m2 space with various amenities, including a spacious indoor courtyard. The project is designed to promote a sense of community and encourage social interactions among residents.

A community led housing project to create affordable homes through a regeneration of an existing, largely vacant neighbourhood. Renovation, public realm, street improvement, public involvement and engagement are key topics. The Granby Four Streets encompass a group of terraced houses in Toxteth, Liverpool, constructed around 1900 to provide housing for skilled labourers. Following the 1981 Toxteth riots, the local council acquired many of these houses to demolish and redevelop the area. This led to the relocation of numerous residents and the subsequent deterioration of the houses. Nevertheless, there remained a strong sense of community both before and after the riots. This community's origins can be traced back to the 1960s and 1970s, but challenging circumstances affected Liverpool, particularly Toxteth, due to a significant decline in the city, notably following the riots in the 1980s, which prompted many residents to leave. Today, the community members themselves are taking the initiative to revitalize their area. A dedicated group of organized residents has spearheaded initiatives that are starting to yield positive results, breathing new life into their streets.

The ‘Zero-carbon Cultural Centre’ in Pakistan, designed by architect Yasmeen Lari, represents an exemplary fusion of sustainability and cultural preservation.

It exemplifies the harmonious blend of sustainability and cultural heritage and carries profound social impact. By revitalizing traditional craftsmanship and promoting eco-awareness, Lari’s creation fosters community engagement, empowerment, and a renewed sense of cultural pride, transcending architectural boundaries.
