Arkdes

ArkDes is Sweden’s national centre for architecture and design. It is a museum, a study centre and an arena for debate and discussion about the future of architecture, design and citizenship.
Our mission is to increase knowledge of and cultivate debate about how architecture and design affect our lives as citizens.
Sweden is in the middle of an unprecedented building boom, one that will define its towns and cities for decades to come. The work of ArkDes aims to influence this change through debate, exhibitions, campaigns and research relating to Swedish and international architecture and design.
We aim to put the citizens at the centre of the debate and look at the world through their eyes.
ArkDes aims to achieve its mission through exhibitions, events and debates at the museum and across the country, through our education programmes, and through making our world class collection and library available to researchers and scholars. We also take part in a variety of international curatorial and research projects and networks.
As well as its museum functions, ArkDes has a special role from the government that aims to help positively affect architectural quality in Sweden. This is known as ArkDes Think Tank – a meeting place for debate and research about architecture and urbanism in Sweden.
ArkDes is an active collecting institution, focussed on Swedish modern and contemporary architecture, and maintains, catalogues, conserves and exhibits a collection of around 4 million objects.

Bast

Bureau Architectures Sans Titre was founded in Toulouse in 2013. Since then, an anonymous approach and a proactive research posture has been adopted to experiment with the diverse potentialities of each project. At each step of the design, solutions are found and contiguously questioned in an iterative way. As a result, projects don’t follow a formal method, but instead develop in an evolutionary process that defines the identity of the office.

Hermansson Hiller Lundberg

Hermansson Hiller Lundberg is focused on the development and production of architecture with a lasting worth and value to society, always in continuous engagement with the history of architecture. The work of the studio has been acknowledged with various national and international awards.
Architecture is by its very nature complex. Projects exist on multiple levels simultaneously, and are informed by specific combinations of conditions such as regulations, construction systems, details, materials, project management, topography, and more. We work with different forms and expressions in the pursuit of a rich and complex architecture, and we combine an interest in the fundamental values in architecture with a dedication to context, programme and building processes.
For us, there are many themes that we are interested in and that we return to in different ways to develop our projects and their architectural forms and building elements. Each project tends to touch on just some of these themes and conditions, and we consciously work with a range of different formal qualites and materials, so while some projects can be quite similar, others turn out quite different from each other.
The practice’s ongoing projects include housing, city planning, care homes, pre-schools, hotels and offices. Regardless of the type or scale of a project we investigate and develop architectural forms, building components, materialities and atmospheres. The practice was founded in Stockholm in 2006 by Andreas Hermansson, Andreas Hiller and Samuel Lundberg.

Johansen Skovsted

Johansen Skovsted Arkitekter is a younger award-winning architectural office. They provide solid, cost-conscious, locally rooted architecture that creates social cohesion and engages in dialogue with its surroundings. Projects are created in close cooperation with the developer, users, stakeholders and authorities, in order to create the best conditions for everyone. The site is evoked with respect for the surroundings regardless whether it is in the transformation of existing buildings or in creating new ones.
As an architectural studio, Johansen Skovsted are concerned with resource awareness – both in material and financial sense. Their focus lies on preserving existing building stock and circularity in recycling and reusability, which is emphasized in the choice and use of both conventional, biogenic and regenerative materials. We process and optimize construction and material handling, in collaboration with locals, professionals and specialists from the construction industry, to ensure that the climatic, economic and maintenance costs are kept down. It is a way of working where we cut to the bone and remove redundant layers, which gives the projects their architectural expression.
Johansen Skovsted works competently with cultural heritage and transformation in complex stakeholder and authority relationships, as well as under physical conditions that place special demands on the design of the building or the landscape. The architectural office sees value in the built cultural heritage, but also in the more unnoticed structures that contain potential to us, as a particularly malleable resource of already existing stories, spaces and materials. The existing, the familiar and the industrial are all celebrated, and with architectural care, proportioning and spatial tools transformed into contemporary, original and characterful projects.
The studio was founded in 2014 by Søren Johansen (b. 1981) and Sebastian Skovsted (b. 1982).

Smart Housing Småland

Smart Housing Småland is an innovation arena for habitats in glass and wood that contribute to increased innovation and competitiveness in the industries for industrial production of wooden houses and further processing of flat glass.

In 2013, we became one of the winners in a competition called Vinnväxt, arranged by the Swedish innovation agency Vinnova, and were granted ten years of funding with the goal of establishing a nationally and internationally strong and attractive innovation environment.
During the first two phases of the initiative since 2013, the environment has increased its knowledge established itself locally, regionally and nationally. At the turn of the year 2019/2020, the third and final phase of the Vinnova funding began, and in this phase, Smart Housing Småland will be an innovation arena for habitats in glass and wood, with the specializations Habitats and Technology.

Habitats make it possible to address more than just construction and housing. This also means other types of buildings than residential buildings together with the living environment; not only areas between houses, but also functions and services that create the housing of the future.
Technology makes it possible to address materials, products and processes needed to construct and build a house, from idea to management, i.e. all steps in the construction process, user phase, demolition and recycling.

Smart Housing Småland will also prepare for continued operations in regional collaboration together with the regions, municipalities and the business without the support of Vinnova.

PANORAMAH!

With surfaces above 98% structural glass, minimalist windows are all about glazing. From an industrial point of view, more significant glass dimensions require larger tempering furnaces, smooth operability and technical performances impose precision and higher quality standards, often more demanding than defined by international glass processing norms.
To keep up with new challenges, panoramah! verticalized its industrial activity and integrated glass transformation in 2011. Continuously investing in its transformation capacity ever since, it became one of the largest glass transformers in Europe with a 9-metre furnace and the ability to process double- and triple-glazed units up to 29 sqm. This capacity has proved critical in different processes, mainly as glass progressively absorbs new functions, admits irregular and curved shapes or assumes various aesthetic requirements.
panoramah! is currently the only manufacturer of minimalist windows in the world that processes and manufactures the main components of its systems, having full control and accountability over the entire process. From design to manufacture and installation, we answer for the complete system, both glass and aluminium. We streamlined glass transformation, adaptation to the system and transportation to the job site, rendering an apparently risky and complex procedure into an everyday job.
Furthermore, with built experience in over 60 different countries and a strong network of more than 50 certified specialized partners, panoramah! is effectively present throughout the globe. Supported by our team, this network is composed by fully experienced technicians that ensure a constant presence at all stages, from glazing consulting to installation and long-term maintenance.
