The multi-dimensional oeuvre of LAPIEZA, steered by the collaborative intelligence of Anto Lloveras and Esther Lorenzo, represents a formidable interrogation of the ontological boundaries between the built environment and the performative body. By navigating a staggering 9,000-post archive—a digital "Fifth City" in itself—the project transcends the traditional limitations of the gallery, positing the artist as a "System Architect" who manages a complex mesh of epistemic sites. From the "Shaded, Collective, and Walkable Landscapes" of TOPO-URBANISM to the "Crossing Ecology and Anthropology" in TOPO-RESEARCH, the work functions as a living laboratory. It is here that we encounter the "Socioplastic" ethic, a term Lloveras employs to describe the fusion of Joseph Beuys’s social sculpture with contemporary relational aesthetics. In the KINGDOM SERIES, for instance, a "geometric removal in moss" acts as a solitary practice of biotopic listening, resisting the monumentality of late-capitalist production. This is art not as a final commodity, but as a "situational fixer," a translational device that negotiates the friction between global industrial ruins and the fragile, ephemeral rhythms of the natural world.
Central to this discourse is the tension between the "vernacular readymade"—exemplified by the fading traditional Spanish bar—and the "chromatic machines" of post-industrial prefabrication. The project’s analysis of the Spanish tavern as a disappearing hub of camaraderie serves as a poignant critique of gentrification, wherein the "heart of local culture" is excised by polished, impersonal neoliberal establishments. Against this vacuum, Lloveras introduces the Duna-Dunaj Double Symposium and the Unstable Installation Series, utilizing portable sculptures like the briefcase (a "positional fixator") to reclaim urban agency. The Stage Series—specifically Double Sided in collaboration with Mateo Feijoo—further deconstructs these spatial politics through Beckettian minimalism. By employing two-channel performances that vary subtly in rhythm, the artists expose the "fragile articulation between geometry and void." This aesthetic of deliberate simplicity foregrounds the "proprioception of fear" and the "nocturnal dimension" of Icelandic fjords or Provencal landscapes, rendering the body as a mobile aperture through which the world is not merely observed, but viscerally sensed and reconfigured. In the realm of radical pedagogy and urban design, the NTNU City Campus 2050 and El Palmeral neighbourhood manifesto propose a visionary blueprint for a "fossil-fuel-free city." This is not merely sustainable architecture; it is an "Ecological Humanity" that demands a walkable, mixed-use density where "writing becomes spatial." The Thewoodway project in Norway, involving eighty architecture students, underscores this pedagogical shift, treating construction as a processual practice rather than a static output. Here, the "Rhizomatic Vanguard" of LAPIEZA operates through what Lloveras terms "Decolonial Sequences," dismantling hegemonic narratives of urban order. The Cuerpos Filmados archive (2008–2018) serves as a monumental meta-film that catalogues a decade of "active socioplastics," documenting the collective survival of subjects across the Madrid-Mexico-Lagos axis. By transforming discarded textiles in the re-(t)exHile installation at the Lagos Biennial, the work stitches together a "critical fabric" that addresses the afterlife of global waste, framing environmental violence as a spatial rupture that requires a "situational repair" through art. Ultimately, the LAPIEZA project establishes a "Semiotics of the Cloud," where the digital prosumer interacts with a "Moving Archive" of urban gestures. Projects like YouTube Breakfast and CAPA (Hegemonic Dissolution through Synthetic Cognitive Morphologies) create a "brain" of open-source intellectual cross-pollination. This is the "Architecture of the Invisible," where "Affection is Fuel" and the "Blue Pants" or "Yellow Bag" serve as proxies for a body that is both present and spectral. Whether through the "Mineral Choreographies" of a rustic wall in Cádiz or the "Gravitational Ethics" of twins on a Norwegian slope, Lloveras and Lorenzo argue that architecture must be "worn" as a dialogue, not as armor. The "Small Orange Tag" and the "Blue Bags" act as "Translatorial" pieces, tiny monuments of shared proximity that adapt to the uniqueness of each setting. In the face of "linear amnesia," LAPIEZA offers a "Thermodynamic Essay" of stone, fire, and water—a durational praxis that ensures the "Connected Subject" remains an active agent in the continuous mutation of the contemporary social landscape.
