Lemonot

Sabrina Morreale and Lorenzo Perri are architects, educators and founding partners of Lemonot – a platform for spatial and relational practices, architecture and performative arts. They graduated together at the Architectural Association and they now fluctuate among London, Italy, Vienna and Stockholm.

Their projects re-invent the relationship between urban fabric and human rituals through a wide range of media: pavilions, exhibitions, short films and performances. They constantly seek new forms of togetherness and conviviality, with a contextual yet transterritorial approach that aims to detect, celebrate and trigger the spontaneous theatre of everyday life.

They experiment with the language of artistic strategies in public space, initiating unconventional acts of place-making and proposing alternative narratives as active tools to critically rethink the values our society is built on.

They intervene both as facilitators and as designers – exploring how architects can contribute to a peculiar reinterpretation of the city, constructing the supporting spatial structure for things to happen and enabling collective engagement through short and long-term presence of stakeholders and physical artefacts.

Their academic activity is a crucial part of Lemonot. In 2018-19, they taught as Adjunct Professors at INDA in Bangkok. Currently, Sabrina is teaching in the Foundation Course at the Architectural Association in London and Lorenzo is teaching at the University of the Applied Arts in Vienna. Together, they’re Programme Heads of the AA Visiting School El Alto (Bolivia).

Their projects have been exhibited and awarded worldwide: at the Young Talent Architecture Award 2016, at the ATT19 Gallery in Bangkok, at the RIBA Live Drawing Marathon, at Vienna Design Week, at Mextropoli 2020 in Mexico City, at Milan Design Week and FAR Roma 2022, among others.
