The Forests of Venice is initiated by Kjellander Sjöberg and Folkhem, who have produced the exhibition together with the support of the Swedish Institute. The curator is Jan Åman. Additional support from Swedish Wood, Sveaskog and Martinsons. Including seven selected exhibiting architectural practices – Architects without Borders Sweden, Arrhov Frick, DinellJohansson, Horn.Uggla, In Praise of Shadows, Carmen Izquierdo and Urbio.
The initiative brings together some of Sweden’s most prominent architectural practices and highlights wood as a sustainable construction material, while illustrating the interaction between nature and the man-made human habitat in order to respond to climate change and limited resources.
