The invited offices represent a new wave of young, innovative architectural offices with a pronounced international profile. Christin Svensson Architecture and Krupinski Krupinska Arkitekter competed against Dehlin Brattgård Arkitekter, who won the competition with their proposal A Room With a View.
The jury comprised Pye Aurell Ehrström (Marge Architects), Kieran Long (Director of ArkDes), and Sandra Nolgren (Head of Communications, ArkDes). They described “the industrial character of the proposal” as a unique new element in the 19th Century Exercise Hall, “revolving around ArkDes’ new focus as an arena in which a more traditional discussion of architecture and design can interact with new fields.”
