Invited to participate and lead the discussion are Bjørn Braaten, NTNU Trondheim, and Ana Betancour from KTH and the Architecture Museum in Stockholm. The week-end of 8-9 june all these young, talented, interesting and really nice architects presented different project with different approaches to the northern context, that was commented by Bjørn Braaten and Ana Betancour, and the audience. At the end of the day we had an interesting conversation and open discussion about the role/s of the architect. A discussion that continued during the dinner and party (with a soundtrack served by DJs Belle and Donatella ), under the midnight sun.. An absolutely giving event for many of us!
