The Island as method is a project exploring how a small island surrounded by a small lake in the region of Skåne can be valorized as a lost utopia, with living characteristics that go beyond current ideas and understandings of how one can design for “sustainable” lifestyles.

Drawing upon the notion of the post-antropocene, the project takes an eclectic and geological view of spatial transformations and excavates in what ways it is possible to rewire current planning ideals that despite their good intentions, are taking are closer and closer into disaster. The project therefore attempts to instigate a debate on what an island is, both as a living entity and idea, and what implications this has for understanding how spatial transformations are coupled to the ongoing climate disaster.
