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.
SPARK aims at exhibiting works that provokes critical discourse in current city building through explorative, experimental, trans- and interdisciplinary practices. SPARK collaborates with Lund University Department of Architectrue and the Built Environment, Architects Sweden Skåne, and Molekyl Gallery.

SPARK is delighted to present a new exhibition with the Copenhagen-based architecture office Jespersen Nødtvedt, entitled Future Frameworks: Tectonics of prefabricated wood constructions and solar architecture.
Through a series of physical models and prototypes, the exhibition investigates Jespersen Nødtvedt’s technological approach to a future sustainable architecture.
Over the past two years, alongside their built projects, the studio has explored the architectural potential of prefabricated wood systems and solar architecture through a series of experimental studies.
In the context of future sustainable building practices, entirely new aesthetic motives are needed—ones shaped, in a positive sense, by material limitations and environmental constraints.
Here, architecture emerges from the intrinsic properties, limitations, and potentials of the materials themselves.
Jespersen Nødtvedt is a Danish-Norwegian architectural office founded in 2021 by Emil Jespersen and Marte Nødtvedt Skjæggestad. The office focuses on craftmanship and sustainability. With a critical approach to sustainability trends, they aim to look at our shared material bank with a new perspective, merging architectural artistry and sustainable materials into a unified entity. Their creative process starts with materials and constructions, attempting to transcend traditional ideas of form and style. Based on a fundamental idea of how something is constructed and put together, the architecture unfolds based on the premises of craftsmanship and production techniques, weaving itself as a new historical layer that reflects our contemporary era.
