Architectural Inquiries

Gisle and Magdalena are going to Göteborg to present the paper 'Openness and experiment...' at the research conference Architectural Inquiries, April 24-26.
If you're interested in reading (in swedish + abstract in english) about how the open conversation becomes a theoretical platform within our practice as architects and how openness and invitation are used to find new, non-linear ways in and around conventional, hierarchic planning, using ByÅr05 and Mosaïc::Region as cases - you can download Öppenhet och experiment.
