Pre-event for UIA World Congress in Copenhagen 2023: An Architecture of Social Justice (I) – Protagonists Statements

Sustainability, in its most holistic definition, cannot be achieved without a collective act.

New Nordic Noir

Johansen Skovsted represents a new wave of Nordic architecture practices that work with resource-conscious architecture and materials within reach. Does the consequent choice of materials and tectonics, add new architectural meanings to the well-known – or is what we see a re-enactment of minimalism?

Moderators: Christoffer Thorborg and Jens Christian Pasgaard
