The Escandinavia Symposium is a three-day event aimed at strengthening bonds between Danish and Spanish architectural cultures. Organized by the Aarhus School of Architecture, it provides a platform for educators, researchers and practitioners to meet, exchange knowledge and continue building upon shared values, vision, and challenges. The dialogue between Danish and Spanish architects will allow exploring more in-depth the multifaceted connection between European North and South and look at how the paths of inspiration developed in recent times.<\/p>\n

Besides, it will serve to speculate how this mutual relationship could be further steered for the benefit of both regions. In this regard, the symposium has an additional purpose of unveiling and discussing emerging practices whose production preserves this common architectural legacy, combines it with a deep commitment to sustainable discourses, and projects a renewed architectural approach towards future generations.<\/p>\n

The symposium is an activity promoted by the research project Escandinavia<\/em>. An Architectural Dialogue between Denmark and Spain<\/em>. Other activities related to the project were the exhibition With Love from Spain<\/em> (in collaboration with The Utzon Center) and The Escandinavia Talks<\/em> series.<\/p>\n
