For over fifteen years, architect and artist Joar Nango has been assembling an archive of books about issues relevant to Indigenous architecture. In 2023, this structure, social space, and source of knowledge around Sámi architecture will travel to the Nordic Countries Pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.

Open call

Power of Places

In the future, development and maintenance will be two words to describe the same thing. The Power of Places call explores ideas and methods for utilizing, carefully developing and strengthening local values in the urban development process. If we would not produce new things but instead take care of the materials, opportunities and people that already exist in a place, what kind of development and aesthetics would that allow for?

Relive

The Limits of Our World

Relive a day of talks and conversation exploring live-action role-play (LARP) and its relationship to design and public life.
