Elding Oscarson is the joint operation between Johan Oscarson and Jonas Elding. Jonas Elding was an associate at Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa (SANAA) in Tokyo for seven years, during which time he led the design for the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York City. Johan Oscarson was an associate at Sandellsandberg in Stockholm for seven years, and led the designs for Villa Nilsson and the interior for the OMX headquarters. The collaboration combines substantial experience from employments in Sweden and Japan, covering both local and international architecture, from large projects to small ones – museums, theaters, private houses, interiors, furniture, and product design. 

"We want to continue to challenge an eclectic array of architecture and design tasks, to see how our joint effort can contribute to new solutions, ways to live, and spaces to enjoy. We feel successful when we surprise ourselves; when our projects are highly relevant to the user, the site, or other parameters that make every project unique, real, and story-telling."

Art and the Public Domain

Phytosensors detecting toxicity released from a flash flood along the Sudbury River. "The Cloud of Unknowing", a project by Dan Borelli (MDesS '12), focuses on the impact of climate change and subsequent extreme events on existing contaminated sites such as the Nyanza Chemical Waste Dump in Ashland, MA

Seeking to engage with the public and social realm—physical or virtual—with a view to shaping and transforming human action and historical experience, the Art and the Public Domain concentration of the Masters in Design Studies (MDesS) program gathers creative and ambitious individuals from all backgrounds and academic disciplines with a keen interest in contemporary issues of urban, historical, aesthetic, and technological culture, and with a predilection for intervention, exhibition, and public work.
