To cope with the climate crisis, urban and rural spaces need to adapt and develop their resilience. Sustainable technical and systemic solutions are part of this spectrum but have encountered growing resistance recently in the form of uglification.
Today’s event focuses on daring to re-program or radically reassess our habitual aesthetic preferences with regard to the design of urban spaces. What kind of urban spaces will we have if we are required to recycle building material to prevent the climate crisis? Will our habitual aesthetic preferences give way when society needs to phase out new construction projects? Could the new requirements even engender a new aesthetic, and thus, a new form of beauty?
This public program is a collaboration within the Architecture Triennale, a new platform for exploration and long-term collaboration between architects, artists and social actors. The triennial is initiated by Färgfabriken as a recurring forum for architecture and urban development, a meeting point for everyone regarding questions about the built environment and the future.
