About the exhibition
Guided tour of the exhibition Define/Refine
Guided tour
In Swedish
What is architecture that emerges locally from its natural and cultural context? How can it be rooted and yet varied and inquiring, respect history and context while serving as the starting point for innovation and as an expression of its time? Fostering a discussion on the role of architecture for a region’s identity and character, the exhibition Define/Refine takes its point of departure in the concept of Critical Regionalism, which is interpreted and elaborated upon.
Join Gunilla Kronvall as she guide you through the exhibition that was shown at Form/Design Center August 27–November 15, 2020.
