Transformation \u2013 RE:purpose is a practice-based research project aimed at innovative policy development. The project is a collaboration between ArkDes, the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning, the Swedish National Heritage Board and the Swedish Property Federation.<\/p>\n<p>To reduce climate impact and the extraction of natural resources, the construction sector must switch to more resource-efficient cycles. Interest in circular economy, transformation and good governance has increased, but its practical application is still in its infancy.<\/p>\n<p>Through knowledge building and speculative design, the research project Transformation \u2013 RE:purpose wants to investigate possible ways to promote a transition in the construction and real estate industry towards more management and transformation. Practice-based research that combines theory and practice is an important tool for achieving a radical change in attitudes and practices in the built environment and for achieving the national and global sustainability goals.<\/p>\n<p>In the project, three creative teams will develop transformation and management proposals for each property to highlight the obstacles and challenges of transformation as well as the opportunities and values that may arise. The aim is to develop innovative proposals, for actions to reduce barriers and increase incentives for transformation, based on the teams&#8217; work.<\/p>\n<p>Three teams were selected through an open call from around 40 applications. Across three properties in Sweden, in Bagareg\u00e5rden in Gothenburg, Alviks strand in Stockholm and on the Ume\u00e5 University campus, the teams developed methods and design proposals during 2025 that build on the existing structures and qualities of the sites. The results will be presented at a report release at ArkDes on 26 May 2026.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                    <ul class=\"flex flex-col -2:mt-2.5
