About the Introductory Presentation
Adaptive use – How to use the already built as a resource? Gjuteriet is located in the old industrial harbour of Malmö, a district which is now becoming a new sustainable neighbourhood called Varvsstaden. By adding new timber structures and recycled elements to the existing building, the historical landmark is to be transformed into an innovative, open public meeting place.

He has led KS towards establishing a sustainable and community-driven approach based on planetary boundaries and innovation. Stefan balances an energetic and reflective focus on large scale urban projects, transformations, residential developments promoting timber construction as well as on creating public realm opportunities.

Hope from Woof discussion series
Hope from Wood discussion series, curated by the You Tell Me collective and organized jointly by the Museum of Finnish Architecture and the Ministry of the Environment, are a series of intimate discussions, which delve into the themes of the Hope from Wood exhibition on different scales. The series discusses how the use of wood fits into the social phenomena of our time and what opportunities it offers – not only as a building material, but also as part of nature and other habitats, as part of industry and housing issues, as part of the cityscape and everyday aesthetics. The series seeks to highlight existing visions of ecological transition and solution-oriented models for the future. The overlapping environmental crises of our time require tremendous change at all levels of society – change is needed at every scale from XL to XS. The main exhibition of the Museum of Finnish Architecture, Hope from Wood, deals with wooden architecture from the perspective of the hope associated with it. The exhibition is on display at the Museum of Finnish Architecture from September 10, 2021 to April 10, 2022.
