Greenhouse Garden – Reflect, Project, Connect at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice was a collaboration between the Architects Sweden, Swedish Wood and Arvet (at the time under the name Folkhem)

Greenhouse Garden – Reflect, Project, Connect and the exhibition Plots, Prints, Projections curated by Ulrika Karlsson contained The pavilion Loggia d´Ombra designed by In Praise of Shadows is formed as a loggia with inspiration from and in dialogue with the old structure of the Greenhouse adding an outdoor shaded space to the garden.

The typologies of the loggia and the traditional Swedish dance pavilions have been important references for the design. The wooden pavilion is built of Glulam and produced by Martinsons. 


The Loggia acted as the stage for a series of seminars and workshops on the built environment, how and why we need to spread and upscale the knowledge of designing timber buildings and the Global Goals of Agenda 2030, and how architecture and wood can and is a part of it.
