The book Universally Specific is written by LINA fellow Ajda Bračič in collaboration with Lisbon Architecture Triennale. Chosen for her experience as a culture critic and editor in various media and for her work as a fiction writer, Ajda Bračič starts her journey in the picturesque city of Ljubljana, more than 2000 km away from the Portuguese capital. Sustainability and adaptive reuse are some of her main interests, focusing on the intersections between architecture, identity, and language that can be found in traditional constructive knowledge, details, and techniques across different communities.  Starting and ending in her home in Ljubljana, Slovenia, from April 17 to 28 Ajda Bračič travelled through 10 cities in 6 countries, using the train as her designated transport. Her mid-way stop in Lisbon from April 21 to 23 enabled her to know more about the Lisbon Triennale and its team, and was the perfect opportunity to do a situation status on the residency.
