Conference 2022: Designed Living Environment – In Times of Urgency
/https%3A%2F%2Farkdes.se%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F05%2FGL22-endast-titel-allman-konferensplatta-eng.jpg)
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.
