Talk: Are Cities for everyone?
18:00
As complex places of exchange, cities act as testbeds for technology. In Stockholm innovations in automation, artificial intelligence, and broader projects connected to sustainability and the mitigation of climate change are at the heart of discussion. In the face of rapid change and reciprocal challenges, this conversation brings together academics, designers, and thinkers together to ask: are cities for everyone?
Participants:
Mae-Ling Lokko PhD, Architectural Scientist and Building Technology Researcher, Rensselaer School of Architecture (RPI)
Dan Hill, Director of Strategic Design, Vinnova
Pernilla Glaser, facilitator, RISE Group for Urban Development
Moderator: James Taylor-Foster, Curator, Contemporary Architecture and Design, ArkDes

Book launch: Permanent Temporariness, by Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti
18:00
Permanent Temporariness is a book, a catalogue, and an archive that accounts for 15 years of research and experimentation by Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti.
The publication presents and reflects on issues related to the condition of permanent temporariness that permeates contemporary forms of life. Some of the concepts addressed by Hilal and Petti’s work span from the role of architecture in refugee camps, the critical understanding of the idea of heritage, or the potential of hospitality to subvert the separation of private and public life.
Welcome by Kieran Long, Director ArkDes.
Introduction by Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti.
Responses to the publication by: Sara Arrhenius, Walter Mignolo, Marie-Louise Richards, Rahel Shawl, Madina Tlostanova.
Moderator: Carlos Mínguez Carrasco.
The event brings together the authors along with collaborators and friends for an informal conversation around some of the projects and ideas included in the book.
In ArkDes Library.
