New Energy Landscapes – A Nordic Baltic Scope
New Energy Landscapes – A Nordic Baltic Scope
The electrical infrastructure has been part of our landscapes for generations. Thus, we have learned to unsee transmission towers bursting through forests and farmland, their overhead power lines hovering high in the sky. Now, the data infrastructure is drastically changing not only the digital but the spatial landscapes due to our online consumption and communication patterns.

The landscape of Bangladesh has always been a changing landscape. Seasonal changes come not only with floodings, but with land submerging and extricating. With the on-going climate change, Bangladesh is facing a 50 cm rise of the sea-level, which translates to losing more than 11% of its land and affecting 15 million people. What are these landscapes telling us? If we listen.

De nya energilandskapen
De nya energilandskapen
En omställning på lokal nivå – i det lokala landskapet.
Energiproduktionen kommer att bli mer lokal och synlig i människors vardag och därmed beröra fler. Vad betyder det för din kommun?

Symbiosis och energilandskap
Symbiosis och energilandskap
Vi har alla någon slags relation till landskap.
Detta gör energiomställningen även till en kommunikativ angelägenhet. Morgondagens energilandskap behöver kommunicera en framtid som synliggör, förstår och respekterar de planetära begränsningarna.
LABLAB medverkar på utställningen Symbiosis på konsthallen Färgfabriken.
27/8 – 28/11 2021.
Weather Glass or Crystal Ball? is a research project designed to take place in Glasgow, Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm with the aim of setting up an interdisciplinary laboratory to investigate how we experience and communicate about weather and climate change.
Weather Glass or Crystal Ball? is a research project funded and designed by Goethe Institute and curated by LABLAB.

Adding urban will not save the rural. What forms and typologies can work with the real rather than the wishful expectations as we move towards rural futures?

Stadtland or Countryside Nostalgia?
Levande, någorlunda täta och dynamiska stationssamhällen skapar regional identitet och förutsättningar för en hållbar existens i landsbygderna. Med rimligt avstånd till resurser i form av arbetstillfällen, offentlig, kulturell och kommersiell service, och mänskliga kontakter, ger stationssamhällen möjlighet för fler människor att bo och leva utanför centralorten – i eller nära landsbygderna.

Understanding our societies is about evolving and involving. Thus, we share here in various languages what we currently are reading, thinking and talking about. Sometimes it is just a link, other times a comment, and maybe even a reflection longer than 280 characters…
The Climate We Experience
The Climate We Experience
How do we communicate about the climate? Peter Lang and LABLAB believe strongly that we need diverse kinds of communicative efforts to speak about climate.
