In September 2025, I began a new inquiry by stepping into a practice-based research environment at OPI Lab, Royal Institute of Art.
Across ten months, a storefront in Gröndal becomes our shared studio and lab, with Lövholmen — a neighborhood in transition — as our living case study.
Over the last four months, learning has happened through doing: sketching at 1:1 scale, testing ideas, and navigating the conversations, frictions, and possibilities that shape our shared living environment through architecture, art, curatorial, and design perspectives. Through our Open Door Sessions, we invite community members, experts, and local actors to engage with our ongoing prototypes.

My own focus has been on negotiating between the past (the archive) and its value today: the labor of industrial workers, the buildings soon to disappear, the futures being planned, and the interests and values that sit at the center of these transformations.

So far, the research has culminated in three collaborative tests:

1) Seed bombing — exploring land through time, soil contamination, and the ecological legacy of former industrial sites.
2) Negotiation board — mapping the “game at play” among actors, interests, and decisions shaping the development.
3) The Public Agency of Information of the People & Organisations of Lövholmen — investigating and building a database of people and organizations connected to Lövholmen.
