In the exhibition Farming Architects at Stockholm Furniture Fair, architecture studio Jordens Arkitekter offers an immersive look into the future of construction, where sustainable architecture integrates with ecology and agriculture. Visitors will engage with innovative architectural concepts on-site, fostering a dynamic space for hands-on learning, interaction and collaboration.
“In an age marked by uncertainties and crises, clinging to ideas and knowledge in isolation has become outdated. New thoughts ought to be shared,” says Johnny Andersson, a visionary architect and co-founder of Stockholm firm Jordens Arkitekter – Swedish for ‘architects of the Earth’.
Embracing the sharing principle of Andersson, Jordens Arkitekter is set to make a bold statement at Stockholm Furniture Fair through the exhibition Farming Architects. The 300-square-meter pavilion, constructed from hemp building blocks, aims to reignite the connection between the spaces we inhabit and the food we consume.
Farming Architects showcases five forward-facing projects of varying scales, including an expansive property development of 400-500 units which reimagines rural living beyond the conventional garden city model. The firm also presents a novel concept for senior living in rural areas, where residents engage directly with farming communities. Highlighting urban agriculture is the Rosendals Trädgård project, a garden at the very heart of Stockholm. The smallest yet significant inclusion is Jordens Hus, a series of timber houses fully designed and built by the firm itself, exemplifying their comprehensive role in the architectural process.
Andersson highlights the exhibition’s presentation: “Instead of showcasing finished works, we’re focusing on the creative process by showing sketches, models and sources of inspiration. It’s about revealing the layers and thought processes that shape architectural innovation, not just the end result.”
The team present at the 300-square-metre pavilion is a diverse group comprising architects, landscape architects, ecologists, biologists, interior designers and structural engineers. The exhibition’s interactive environment invites visitors to participate and contribute, making their input a part of the collective creative process. Farming Architects also features a material library of sustainable building materials from 30 top suppliers in the field. Offering a glimpse into the future of sustainable architecture, it is designed as a place for exploration and learning, bridging current building practices with emerging sustainable solutions. Additionally, the exhibition highlights the expertise of Ekologigruppen, a consultancy firm known for its sustainable approach to ecology, urban planning and landscape architecture since 1988.
Showcased are also learnings from Osprey Farm, a sustainable farm just west of Stockholm, created by Andersson and his wife Ina M Andersson. Osprey Farm operates as a testbed for innovative ideas and covers ten hectares with key biotopes: water, grassland, forest and the farming area.
Join us at the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2024, at Stockholmsmässan, where design meets innovation in an intimate yet expansive setting.
Stockholm Furniture Fair 2024 will take place 6-10 February 2024.
