Current exhibition
STUDIO SUSANNE BRORSON
Seasonal Spontaneousness
07.03 - 13.04.2025
Opening March 7, 17-20
Båstadsgatan 4
The exhibition ‘Seasonal Spontaneousness’ will be showing Studio Susanne Brorson's experimental works related to research, teaching and practice on Baltic vernacular and climatic architecture. Large scale drawings and a 1:1 mock-up relate to ‘Seasonal Wall Dressing’, an ongoing experiment on seasonal biogenic facades carried out on the western gable of the ‘Experimental House Rügen’. Another project featured as part of the exhibition is the Eco Village Rügen, a recently completed award-winning village extension for rural cohabitation and regenerating Baltic landscapes.
Susanne Brorson founded her own award winning firm STUDIO SUSANNE BRORSON on the Baltic Island of Rügen, Germany. The work of her practice is closely connected to her research on climatic and regenerative architecture in the Baltic Sea region. Already in 2017, Susanne established the ‘Baltic Vernacular – Experimental Laboratory’ teaching format that she taught at various architecture schools, involving design research and 1:1 experimentation. Susanne has published and lectured internationally, with guest professorships at RISEBA University Riga, HafenCity University Hamburg and University degli studi RomaTRE, Italy. She is currently holding the IKA guest professorship at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Her contribution ‘Seasonal Wall Dressing’ was part of the exhibition ‘+/-1 – in search of well-tempered architecture’ at the Slovenian Pavilion at the 18th Architecture Biennale in Venice 2023. Susanne was awarded the German Rome Prize in architecture 2023/24 with the German Academy Villa Massimo in Rome, Italy.
On March 11th 2025, Susanne Brorson will give a lecture at Lund Architecture Symposium LAS25 at the School of Architecture in Lund. More information coming soon.
