Sustainable Development

Form/Design Center works long-term with sustainability within the framework of a designed living environment. Through special expertise and a wide network of contacts, we highlight the subject from several different perspectives. With a focus on cross-sectoral collaboration, our development projects contribute with forward-looking knowledge that strengthens the conditions for the UN's global sustainability goals. Skåne's unique position as part of a transnational region also opens for valuable international exchanges where we, as a node, play an important role in the forthcoming transition.

SPOK

SPOK is a production platform that aims to gather and spread knowledge about local manufacturing possibilities ranging from handicrafts to industries. SPOK aims to promote the development of local production in Sweden and in the long term also more-local consumption.

New European Bauhaus

Form/Design Center has been appointed official partner in the European Commission's New European Bauhaus (NEB) - an initiative that adds a cultural and creative dimension to the European green transition to encourage sustainable innovation and technology.

The Nordic Report

Lek för demokrati

Lek för demokrati byggs kring planerna för ett nytt stadshus i Ängelholm.
