Daniel Fagerberg

Daniel Fagerberg is the head architect and director of Strombro Building Workshop, -Stockholm, Sweden. SBW is a leading Architecture and Engineering consultancy in timber construction, alternative sustainable building materials, and production. SBW offers interdisciplinary services in the areas of construction, production, and development. The company was founded in 2010 based on over a decade of timber building and production R&D.

Daniel began his training in Newcastle, Australia, and completed his studies in 2002 at the Architectural Association in London, UK. Next to architecture, Daniel has been involved in a number of cross-fertilization projects within IT and marketing, where social and infrastructural issues have informed the development of innovative business concepts. He has also worked extensively in animation, video, and the web. Daniel has lectured and taught studios, touching the zone between architecture, technology, and new media at universities in Sweden, the UK, Australia, Norway, and Chile. In 2012-2013 Daniel held the visiting professor position, Hyde Chair of Excellence, at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln USA. Former Hyde Chairs include Peter Cook, Wolf Prix, and Michael Sorkin amongst others.

Daniel is a firm believer in applied architecture, meaning his offices spend just as much time on the factory floor as on-site, in the forest, or in front of the screen. He focuses on sustainable building with a special interest in cross-laminated timber and efficient industrial production and mass customization. He strives to be engaged in the full building process, which has led to a series of new ventures within engineering, software development, and property development.

To achieve his personal goals which require a development of the timber industry through the use of parametric design tools and BIM. Daniel has found a new market in the translation of the architects' CAD environment into CAM and digital fabrication of timber building components. In 2003, Daniel began developing software, which in 2009 led to the formation of his company PAQAM (pack-to-cam). This resulted in further demand for product development and services, and in 2010 he founded Strombro Building Workshop(engineering). Through the work with Paqam and Strombro, his companies have taken a pole position as a specialized consultancy firm in the emerging industrialization of timber building in Scandinavia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and since 2012 into USA and Canada.

Daniel frequently lectures at fairs, seminars, and councils in Sweden, Norway, the US, and the UK, occasionally in southeast Asia, promoting timber building design and industrialization, for sustainable built environments.
