Radical Ruralism 01

Architecture, Ecology, and Place-Based Futures

Edited by Studio Kathryn Larsen

A compact publication exploring how architecture can emerge from local knowledge, ecological thinking, and community-led action.

Radical Ruralism 01 brings together essays, drawings, fieldwork, and experimental approaches developed through real projects across rural Denmark. Moving between architecture, material research, preservation, and civic infrastructure, the booklet examines how small places can become testing grounds for new cultural and ecological futures.

Rather than treating rural areas as passive landscapes in decline, this publication positions them as active sites of experimentation, resilience, and collective imagination.

Inside you’ll find:

• Place-based architectural research
• Rural preservation strategies
• Community-led design processes
• Ecological material explorations
• Essays, visual documentation, and field notes

Printed as a slim collectible booklet, Radical Ruralism 01 is designed for architects, designers, students, municipalities, cultural actors, and anyone interested in the future of place-based practice.
