Prepared: Unknown Ground

How do we plan for a future we do not yet know? What tools can prepare us for the unpredictable? Could uncertainty even become a resource for creating more sustainable living environments?

Together with the Oyster Group and Architects Sweden, we invite you to a conversation about landscapes of uncertainty, and what it means to plan for an unpredictable future. On the threshold between the known and the unknown, established practice and challenging possibility.

During the event, drinks and snacks will be available for purchase at Torget via Swish.
