“FEED-BACK” SELECTED AS ONE OF THE WINNING PROPOSALS FOR NEIGHBOURHOODS FOR
GENERATIONS!

Feed-Back, our proposal for how to develop neighbourhoods for more
intergenerational exchange and social cohesion has been announced one of four
winners of Landsbyggefonden’s idea competition ‘Neighbourhood for Generations.’

 

The proposal is a collaboration between SHL and Fælleshaven based on the idea of
bringing generations together through activities revolving around shared meals,
food circularity and waste systems.

 

The project seeks to tackle both intergenerational segregation, loneliness, and
the challenge of our unsustainable food systems. Together with local residents,
a team of food system experts and architects will review all spaces related to
food in each community – gardens, kitchens, dining spaces, and recycling
facilities. Involving residents is key to uncovering which physical and mental
barriers stand in the way of shared mealtimes. Reshaping both the existing
living spaces and the social structures, the team will do interventions to
encourage growing, harvesting, preparing, and sharing food as a social activity
within the community.

 

Over the next five months a series of events related to Neighbourhoods for
Generations will take place, culminating at the world’s largest event on
sustainable architecture, UIA World Congress of Architects CPH 2023. So stay
tuned!

NEW PODCAST ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE AND FOOD PRODUCTION

The connection between how we plan our cities, design our buildings, and
cultivate our lands across the globe has an immense effect on our climate and
well-being.

 

In the latest episode of the podcast-series Urbcast, Enlai Hooi, our Head of
Innovation, discusses the architects’ agency in creating new ways of growing
food that doesn’t exhaust our planet.

WE HAVE WON THE COMPETITION TO DELIVER NEW URBAN CAMPUS IN STOCKHOLM

The new Vectura CampusF will become a melting pot of research, innovation, and
co-working within the Life Science field.
Combining modern office space and research labs with student and scientist
housing as well as offering a large roofed public space – the Orangery – the new
campus caters to a broad range of users and will become a new destination in
town. The building reinterprets the conventional campus by stacking the
different functions in layers. Three characteristic stairs, inspired by DNA
strings, connect the building across the different floors, professions, and
levels of experience to foster synergies and encourage movement and informal
meetings between users. Outside, green urban spaces welcome people to the site
and invite them for recreational and social activities.
The new Vectura CampusF is situated in the cross-section between Innerstaden,
Hagastaden, the Karolinska Institute, and the Karlsberg Castle. Thus, it is the
missing piece of the puzzle that will connect the heavily trafficked area across
neighborhoods and research institutions.

ONE OF THE WORLD’S LARGEST LIBRARIES, SHANGHAI LIBRARY EAST HAS OPENED

Shanghai Library East, a new civic landmark and cultural destination in the
world’s third most populous city, has opened.

Inspired by Taihu stones, or ancient Chinese scholars’ rocks, Shanghai Library
East emphasizes creativity, collaboration, and public art. More than 80% of the
building’s space is dedicated to community activity. The new 115,000 m² library
is located in Pudong District – the area known for its iconic skyline and sits
immediately next to Century Park –the largest park in the city spread over 140
hectares.

WE ARE DESIGNING THE WORLD’S TALLEST TIMBER RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

Over the next four years, the world’s tallest residential building with a
load-bearing structure in wood will rise above the ridges in the Swiss city
Winterthur, close to Zürich. The 100-meters-tall tower, Rocket&Tigerli, is named
after locomotives produced at the previous industrial site.

 

The project marks a milestone in the construction of timber buildings – it
introduces an innovative construction system that examines wood as a natural
replacement for concrete. The Swiss company Implenia and the Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology of Zürich, ETH, have worked together in developing the
new system, which allows the construction of taller timber buildings.

 

The concrete core has been replaced with wood, resulting in the individual beam
coming in at a lower weight. This makes it possible to build taller
constructions while, at the same time, ensuring that the entire building process
achieves a lower amount of embedded carbon.

 

SHL won the international competition by celebrating the construction itself,
highlighting the wooden beams as distinctive elements that give the users a
feeling of living alongside the construction itself.

SELECTED PROJECTS/

For more than two decades, we have integrated wood in the design of cultural,
civic, commercial, and educational buildings the world over. Our approach to
timber construction is rooted in a culture of sustainability, functionality,
aesthetic and beauty, and smart business – we believe that timber exists where
these four notions intersect.
