Infrastructural Imaginaries in Scandinavia

This workshop explores innovative infrastructures in Scandinavia that are at the forefront of global waste and energy practices and imagines possibilities for progressive design interventions. The workshop is field-based with emphasis on maximizing empirical encounters with various sites in Copenhagen, Malmo, Gothenburg, and Stockholm. It is designed to examine the cultural, social, and aesthetic aspects of the infrastructural imagination at different levels: the sites of the itinerary operate across a range of scales, from object to district to region. The material gathered during the workshop will be collected in a Field Report with original drawings and comparative systems analysis that explores innovative infrastructures.
