About The research project “The future of yesterday’s concrete utopia”
The research project is a newly started 4-year work with funds from the Energy Authorities, which is led by Erik Jönsson at Uppsala University together with Johan Pries, Lund University, and where Tove Hansson Grönroos participates as a doctoral student. The project goes by the title "The future of yesterday's concrete utopias" and wants to map how cultural heritage plays a role in sustainability policy. Over the next few years, the project plans to visit Form och Design repeatedly to discuss and present its results.
About School of Repair
In connection with the exhibition The Great Repair Moves North, several events for School of Repair will be held. During the fall, participants will have the opportunity to attend workshops, lectures, and study trips related to several of the projects from the exhibition. The Great Repair Moves North highlights how the exploitation of resources and people in the construction industry undermines the integrity of architecture. To promote architecture as a discipline and harness its potential as a reparative force, the exhibition advocates for a new architectural ethos centered around repair.
