Welcome to learn about how we can make use of seemingly outdated industrial architecture through innovative design and maintenance.

VERKET is a practice-based research project in collaboration between ArkDes and Ulricehamn municipality. In the project, team VERK-SAM has explored how Ulricehamn’s wastewater treatment plant and Fiskebacken can be taken care of and managed to become a resource when the area opens up to a public space. This evening you have the opportunity to meet the team, ask questions and discuss possible solutions for seemingly outdated industrial architecture.

Take the opportunity to hear team VERK-SAM present their exploration of the wastewater treatment plant and proposals for the future of the site.

Programme:

16.00 Site visit Fiskebacken, outside of the treatment plant
16.45 Joint walk to Väveriet
17.00 Presentation by Team VERK-SAM
18.00 Time for in-depth discussions and questions

About ArkDes' practice-based research

In addition to being a museum on Skeppsholmen, ArkDes explores real-world challenges through practice-based research. Architects and designers are invited to develop solutions using the tools of design. These projects are carried out in collaboration with policymakers, businesses, municipalities, regions, academia, and the public—shaping both small communities and large cities across Sweden.
