Claesson Koivisto Rune. Architects

For the first time since the founding of the studio, Claesson Koivisto Rune presents a retrospective exhibition of its architecture, entitled ‘Claesson Koivisto Rune. Architects’, within 500m2 of galleries at The Royal Academy of Fine Arts, in Stockholm. The exhibition, which opened October 16th and runs until November 20th, 2021, showcases 40 scale models, together with plans, drawings, illustrations and photographs, of 40 architecture projects from the studio’s 27-year history.

Almost 30 years ago, Mårten Claesson, Eero Koivisto and Ola Rune founded what would become one of Sweden’s most internationally renowned architecture practices. Since then they have received more than 90 awards for their architecture and design as well as becoming the first Swedish practice selected for the international section at the Venice Biennale of Architecture, in 2004. In 2020, King of Sweden Carl XVI Gustaf presented them with The Prince Eugen Medal for outstanding artistic achievement in architecture. This retrospective exhibition presents, for the first time, a thorough overview of the studio’s architectural production, including 40 scale models generated during the preceding 27 years of work.
