Guide: Inside the head of Alexander Lervik

This year's major design exhibition at Kulturhuset in Stockholm turns the spotlight on the experimental interior architect and designer Alexander Lervik, whose working process is also explored through a number of guided tours.

In search of Lervik's thoughts

6 April–17 June EXHIBITION. Alexander Lervik's ideas often arise from experimental play with materials or take their starting point in almost existential questions such as "how do you create a lamp that gives darkness?". The solo exhibition Inside the Head of Alexander Lervik includes objects from his twenty-year career, from bird nests to elevators and conference furniture. In addition, there will be guided tours on how this designer and interior architect works and thinks. At Kulturhuset in Stockholm.

Tools for better place-making

12–13 April CONFERENCE. Stipo is an interdisciplinary organization with an urban focus based in Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Together with KTH and the Centre for Future of Places, they are behind the conference Cities for All: Placemaking. The idea is that participants from all over Europe—activists and architects as well as decision-makers and officials—will meet and discuss gentrification, public spaces, and tools for better places. At Färgfabriken in Stockholm.

On adding to the existing city

12–30 April EXHIBITION. In spring 2017, 60 architecture students at UCL in Belgium took a master's course in which they examined how, instead of demolishing and building a new city, we can add to the existing one. The result – The New Artisanal City: case study Sergel City – uses Stockholm's city center as its object of study. The exhibition opens with a panel discussion on 12 April, 5–7 pm, featuring, among others, the course's guest professors Mia Hägg and Jan Åman, as well as Axel Wolgers, who was assistant teacher. At KTH School of Architecture in Stockholm.
