Distinct and tectonically articulated The structural frame of the extension to the Magnolia complex is made of prefabricated laminated timber components - columns and beams securing shear and lateral stability. The diagonal frame creates a unifying element, providing distinct characteristics and detailing as well as creating a subdivision of the space.Photo: @coast_studio

The Forests of Venice Pavilion plan .02The plan creates an internal space wrapped around the visitors. The orientation of the timber elements allows for vertical openings, directing the view upwards to the sky; providing shelter, safety and evoking a sense of calmness with a focus on human senses and community feeling.

The Forests of Venice Pavilion plan .02 The pavilion was composed of 276 cross-laminated timber elements, industrially produced in northern Sweden, shipped to Venice, and assembled on site. The logistics and the constraints of the building material dictated the pavilion’s structural composition and informed the design process.#kjellandersjoberg #theforestsofvenice #labiennaledivenezia #biennalearchitettura2016 #timber #wood #woodenarchitecture #architectureplan #drawing #archolution #archisource #illustrarch #mistrallartt #architecturesight #archezinternational #architecture #architect #arquitectura #arch #sweden #swedisharchitecture #scandinavianarchitecture #archilovers

The Forests of VeniceA part of the experience being in a forest is the dappled light from above, filtered by branches and leaves. We wanted to recreate this effect in the timber pavilion made for the Venice Biennale in 2016.Photo @adammork

Exhibition at La Biennale di VeneziaThe exhibition investigates Venice´s success as a hybrid between city and nature. As a geographically exposed coastal city, Venice historically demonstrates a unique symbiosis with nature and resources. In a time when climate change and rising sea levels threaten coastal regions worldwide, the origin and strategies of Venice are a key resource for urban solutions. The exhibition, initiated by KS, focuses on the possibilities of wood as a renewable material.Photo @adammork

Transformation Farsta: Urban streets and quality of lifeThe new residential scheme at Magelungsvägen in Farsta seeks to strengthen the unique character of the place, and to interconnect the existing public housing and new links to the surrounding nature. The ambition of the new masterplan is to erase the current barriers and create more nuanced and safe urban spaces on a human scale, with more life and movement.In collaboration with: @wallinbostad @hornuggla and Landskap
