Research platforms

Urban Arena

Urban Arena is a university-wide network of over 200 researchers who conduct research on sustainable urban development. They engage in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research projects that navigate the synergies and tensions between environmental, social, and economic goals. The network includes seven focus areas that address climate and energy, governance and planning, health and well-being, mobilities and transport, culture and society, blue and green infrastructure, and buildings and public space.

SPARK

SPARK is a collaborative platform located in Malmö, Sweden with the purpose of strengthening the interface between architecture, art, research, and societal advancement through exhibitions and lectures. The aim is to promote artistic processes in architecture and urban development by activating intersections between art, architecture, urban design, and landscape architecture.

bioDigital matter

bioDigital matter is a research lab exploring the intertwined realities of biology, design, and computation. We are architects seeking a radically different future, where principles of self-organization and emergence shape our built environment through cybernetics, organic materiality, and adaptation: the interactive phylogenesis of architecture.

Kivik Art Centre

Kivik Art Centre operates at the interface between art, architecture and nature. The centre provides a venue where artists can exhibit their work and engage in discussions with practitioners and the general public about cultural and ecological issues related to the built environment.
