Sandra Revuelta Albero

Sandra Revuelta Albero works on various projects within Atelier LUMA, conducting research around questions related to architecture and materiality. Founded in 2016, Atelier LUMA unites designers, engineers, scientists, and experts from culture, craftsmanship, and social sciences to explore the potential of the potential of non-extractivist, and often discredited, local materials, such as invasive plants, agri & aqua cultural coproducts, algae, and industrial waste. Housed since 2023 in Le Magasin Électrique, Atelier LUMA operates as a collaborative platform, working with local actors and partners, including farmers, craftspeople, and manufacturers to create sustainable and local solutions. Over the years, Atelier LUMA has broadened its research scope from the Arles bioregion to national and international contexts. A recent collaboration with BC Architects & Materials and Assemble for the Gwangju Folly in Korea included investigations in seashell waste as aggregates and binders for architectural applications within the Eco-Hanok project.
