FRIDA FERDINAND, JACOB KUREK, RASMUS \u00d8DUM & EMILIE BOYE KJ\u00c6R <\/span><\/strong>| OP- ELLER NEDTUR?<\/h6>\n

Nye tider kr\u00e6ver nye forretningsmodeller. Vi s\u00e6tter fokus p\u00e5 internationale opk\u00f8b af danske brands som HLA, nye strategiske f\u00e6llesskaber som Verka Collective og XPartners og start-ups som A Part of Sum, som alle s\u00f8ger gr\u00e6nserne for internationale og lokale samarbejder. Hvad bliver konsekvenserne for arkitekturen i et st\u00f8rre perspektiv, og fra et kommercielt synspunkt? S\u00e6lges der ud af hovedstolen, eller er det bare arkitekturens tilpasning til en ny virkelighed, arkitekturens flexicurity?<\/span><\/p>\n
