Welcome to discuss wood on an L scale!

Hope from Wood is a series of conversations to which all can participate and contribute. The second discussion will be lead by Stefan Sjöberg from Kjellander Sjöberg, who will be joining the discussion online. A fair, active and open discussion is guaranteed! 

About the Introductory Presentation

Adaptive use – How to use the already built as a resource? Gjuteriet is located in the old industrial harbour of Malmö, a district which is now becoming a new sustainable neighbourhood called Varvsstaden. By adding new timber structures and recycled elements to the existing building, the historical landmark is to be transformed into an innovative, open public meeting place.
