The intensive summer school “seLf cOmmons ConstructIon” (LOCI) is an international workshop focused on commoning practices and experimental self-built architectural agencies set in Pavia, Italy.

The LOCI program combines virtual learning through university lectures and stakeholder workshops with hands-on architectural intervention, where participants will engage in participatory design and construction of urban commons alongside local communities, guided by professional carpenters using locally sourced materials.
