RISE stands for Research Institutes of Sweden, the biggest research institute in Sweden, with around 2700 employees. If you want to know more about RISE in general visit www.ri.se. The RISE studio in Umeå is an interaction design research studio, using design as a research tool to investigate and work with societal challenges in Umeå, the region, Sweden but also internationally. The Umeå studio, with around 10 people, took on the challenge to design a new concept for Scharinska Villan after its restoration in 2013/2014. In collaboration with Nordiska Centrumhus (owners of the building) and Umeå Kommun we created a concept where the house functions as a window towards the future. This means that we, together with members of the building, try to figure out new ways of working together, prototype possible solutions or possibilities around societal challenges.
