7 million tons of stone are currently being blown out and extracted from tunnel projects around the Stockholm area. Förbifarten as well as metro line expansions are being excavated on a scale that has not been seen in the city since the 1950’s and 60’s construction of the metro system. Today, we have realized that those huge quantities of stone represent a precious and free resource that should not go wasted and that can effectively be put to use in the construction industry. Together with Luc Pagès, our actor from the Stockholm Traffic Office, Trafikkontoret, we will explore how the current model works, his role in pushing the topic forward and what some of the material’s potentials are within a circular building culture. We will also present our vision for a new neighborhood involving stone in Järva. So let’s jump right in and leave no stone unturned!
