SWEDEN: Floating Spaces, Connecting Sweden & Norway Through the Dals Langed Canal System
In collaboration with students and faculty from HDK-Steneby we will partner with the communities of Dals Langed, Sweden to design and build a floating “element” to be transported through the canal/lake system and in the process create deeper relationships between the two towns/countries. This project builds off work done in 2024 where temporary prototypes of a performance/exhibition space and a floating gathering/firepit were created to test ideas.  In this program we will focus on creating a permanent floating feature that unifies. The site we will be working on is in the village of Dals Langed, a small village on a lake and in the middle of the extensive Dals Langed canal system, considered a beau colic cultural feature within Sweden.

PERU: Urban Development and Human and Ecological Health in the Amazon Rainforest
Understanding the impact of urbanization on health and ecosystems using interdisciplinary approaches

The program begins with excursions to one of the last primary forest ecosystems in the Amazon Rainforest to explore unique flora, fauna, and environments with very little human presence. The students will then visit new peri-urban nodes near the expanding city of Iquitos to understand social, environmental, and health aspects related to urban development. Our group will then visit projects in the city of Iquitos that are leading efforts to promote sustainable healthy urban development and learn tools to assess urban health.
