Inhaltsangabe

This anthology is a critical reflection on the making of Soil Lab, a project built with a community in North Lawndale, Chicago, and hosted by the Danish Arts Foundation at the 2021 edition of the Chicago Architecture Biennial.

The pages give space to a conversation that stretches far outside both the confines of the Soil Lab’s site in North Lawndale and the short duration of the biennial. The book is a meeting place for the voices which contributed to the Soil Lab project, and maps their constellation of disciplines—across architecture, art, anthropology, ecology, craft and community work—and global geographies, including the US, Denmark, Ireland, Puerto Rico and Austria. The story of the project, and the many lives and threads that it brushed up against, is told through histories, criticism, photographic essays, instruction manuals, soil recipes and interviews.

James is a registered architect with the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland and Grade 3 Accredited in Architectural Conservation. He has taught at The Aarhus School of Architecture and at University College Dublin where he is currently a Design Fellow. James is interested in the act of making, and his work is informed by this collaborative act. James holds a MA from The Aarhus School of Architecture, and has also undertaken courses in joinery at Capellagården - school for craft and design. Since graduating he has worked with international studios; Sou Fujimoto Architects, Herzog & de Meuron, and Grafton Architects. In 2018, James, Eibhlín and Anne Dorte participated in REFORM Design Biennale with their collaboration Woven Construct, a seat, a screen, a space, which they constructed in the garden of Munkeruphus, north of Copenhagen.

Anne Dorthe is a masters graduate from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture and studied for her BA at Aarhus School of Architecture. She has a background in craft and has taken courses in fine woodwork at KTS (Copenhagen Technical College). Her work is based on the study and processing of materials. Whether large or small in scale, she seeks to unfold the inherent qualities and technical potential of materials. Craftsmanship is central to her process and to her material understanding. Her work is developed through an experimental and exploratory approach, grounded in the Danish design tradition. Anne Dorthe Vester founded her own studio with a focus on architecture and design in 2012. She cofounded MBADV with Maria Brunn, where from 2013 until 2022 they collaborated on projects at the intersection of architecture, design and fine art.

With her work, the Danish designer Maria Bruun joins a long-standing design tradition. With sincere respect for classic Danish furniture, Bruun builds on this foundation with an innovative approach, creating her design in close dialogue with skilled craftspeople. She often devotes her work to the refinement of the individual elements and persistently seeks out new possibilities in her field. For her collaborative methods and approach to design, Bruun was awarded the Wegner Prize in 2022, and the prestigious Danish Finn Juhl Prize in 2021. Along with Anne Dorthe Vester, Bruun is the co-founder of MBADV, a collaboration that, from 2013-2022 created objects in the cross-field between art, architecture and design. Maria Bruun holds a MA in furniture Design from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design.

We realized early on in this process that to try to tell the story with our own words would be futile, as the project was made by more than our own hands (and heads): neighbors, high school students, carpenters, bricklayers, ecologists, ceramicists, archaeologists, a mathematician, retirees, artists, architects and bicycle mechanics. People working night shifts joined us after breakfast. People who were skilled or unskilled, but all enthusiastic and eager to make. While it has not been possible to identify and give credit to everyone who has contributed to the development of the project, it is important to us to acknowledge that they exist. We present this book as the product of the sustained and diligent work of a network of intersecting and overlapping communities, which we are fortunate enough to be learning from and with. In these pages are some of the people we met in the process, the people with which we built the structure, and those who helped us navigate and make sense of it. This is as much their story as it is ours, and this book is dedicated to them, to the Soil Lab community we made during the summer of 2021.
