THE WINTER OFFICE

The Winter Office is a creative and research group working through the intersection of art, design, and architecture. We produce knowledge-based projects in collaboration with communities, combining curatorial and postdisciplinary research to address evolving ecological and social challenges.

We seek to create and foster artistic and scientific initiatives to introduce regenerative imaginations into the built environment. Collectively, we aim to explore the social value of nature and develop knowledge-based initiatives that address ongoing unintended design and environmental crises.

Rooted in the Nordic context, we draw from Danish perspectives on well-being design while building and learning from knowledge-sharing platforms and collaborations across Latin America, North America, and Europe. Together, and with contributions from professionals and communities, we aim to develop project-based interventions that foster the flourishing of both human and non-human life, expand the role of art and design in society, and cultivate spaces where creativity and ecology coexist and thrive.

Established in 2010, the group has published, exhibited, and participated in (or developed) various forums concerned with the above-mentioned interests. In this new phase, the group is looking to a new period of practical engagement and communication to share our collective experience across sectors.
