Synopsis:

Based in Nancy in eastern France, studiolada is an architectural collective founded on values such as commitment to the common good, responsible use of resources, service to the public sector, collaborative dialogue, short supply chains, and circularity. These principles shape a collective practice deeply rooted in its local territory, drawing on its resources and dynamics.
Conceived and edited by architect and lecturer Mathias Rollot, Radically Local reflects on the collective’s philosophy while showcasing the wide range of work they have realized over time. It features an illustrated selection of thirty key projects, includes four exclusive interviews with studiolada members, and ten open contributions from external professionals and scholars, providing a rich diversity of perspectives on their practice and the ideas that inform it.

With contributions by Frederic Bonnet, Salima Naji, Dominique Gauzin-Müller, Tiphaine Abenia, Anne-Sophie Gouyen, Felix Torkar, Gilles Marseille, Hakima El Kaddioui, Ivan Mazel, and Julien Pierre Normand

• First comprehensive publication on the award-winning French architecture collective studiolada
