Society and our shared living environments are constantly under stress and renegotiation.
The 2022 conference addresses questions about which values and qualities in our designed environments are important to preserve and develop as we face major global challenges such as armed conflict, climate change, threatened cultural heritage, resource management, and segregation.
During the conference, we will gain insights into how actors in the field have thought and acted when considering both local conditions and major global challenges in their work. What can we learn from each other? What have the work processes looked like? What tools have been used? What were the success factors, and what was the final outcome?
Plus, we announce the winners of the ‘Årets strålkastare’ award – recognizing those who’ve set the bar high in the field of Designed Living Environments.

About the conference
Between 2020 and 2024, ArkDes together with the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning ↗, the Swedish National Heritage Board ↗ and Public Art Agency Sweden ↗ jointly organized an annual conference on the Policy for Designed Living Environment. The conference brought together architects, urban planners, designers, artists, and officials from local, regional, and national levels—both on-site and online—to share ideas and explore forward-looking examples in architecture, design, art, and cultural heritage.
