Choreography within this transdisciplinary matrix emerges as a minimalist epistemic protocol, stripping away theatrical spectacle to foreground the raw physics of presence and relational infrastructure. Projects such as Double Sided (2023–2026), developed in collaboration with Mateo Feijoo, utilize a diptych of non-identical mirroring to investigate the tension between carrying and letting go. These processual movements, documented as "filmed agency" rather than polished products, function as an architecture of affection that mends social fractures through rhythmic bodily repetition. By neutralizing the performer’s ego through standardized wardrobes and everyday objects, Lloveras generates "atmospheric thresholds" where the body becomes a porous interface. Movement here is not decorative; it is a situational fixing of unstable social sculpture, a Beckettian reduction that converts micro-variations into tools for reading the territorial pressure of the contemporary landscape.
The speculative architecture of the Fifth City, outlined in the Trans-Lighthouse Manifesto, proposes a networked imaginary of biospheric humanism that transcends the historical layers of the industrial and digital eras. This model repositions infrastructure as "distributed care," where lighthouses serve as relational signals rather than merely navigational aids. In projects like El Palmeral or the NTNU City Campus 2050, Lloveras integrates zero-fossil-fuel models with dense, mixed-use walkability, treating the urban envelope as a climatic column. These interventions are not isolated architectural statements but nodes within a larger "Sovereign Mesh/OS," where pedagogical construction and spatial negotiation—seen in the participatory choreography of Thewoodway—replace the rigid top-down planning of the late-capitalist era. The city thus becomes an experimental framework for ecological ethics and decolonial sequences, prioritized over the accumulation of capital-intensive objects.
Lloveras’s "Hyperplastic Epistemic Urbanism" distinguishes itself through a rigorous archival sovereignty, where numbered nodes and CamelTags function as executable infrastructure for territorial resilience. By treating blogs and digital repositories as the primary epistemic terrain, the work resists the flattening effect of globalized platforms, maintaining a nomadic prosthesis for cognitive autonomy. This "mesh-symbiotic" epistemology fuses curation (LAPIEZA) with urban critique, ensuring that every spatial intervention is grounded in a deep-reading protocol of its site’s unique pressures. The architect-choreographer acts as a semionaut, navigating the flows of sign and matter to generate "resilient kernels" of meaning. This approach aligns with the agonistic spatial practices of Keller Easterling or Markus Miessen but adds a layer of extreme archival discipline that allows the practice to operate as a self-sustaining, decolonial operational system. Ultimately, the socioplastic project demands a transition from the "urban-as-spectacle" to "urban-as-ritual," where gestures of care, pedagogy, and ritualized movement replace the obsession with permanent form. In the Decadröm 2026 series, presence is prioritized over performance, positioning everyday acts like draping, walking, or wrapping as liminal interventions between public and private space. These "care-full" gestures function as a post-relational extension of aesthetics, moving beyond mere consensus toward a machine-symbiotic presence that acknowledges more-than-human entanglements. Lloveras’s work suggests that the only viable response to the "unstable installation" of the modern world is a radical commitment to processual repair and affective calibration. Through the integration of metabolic urbanism and minimalist choreography, socioplastics offers a sovereign protocol for inhabiting the crisis, transforming the city into a site of ongoing, resilient recalibration.
