Architecture in focus

This autumn, Form/Design Center, together with Sveriges Arkitekter, is organizing an extensive architecture program with several highlights. For the seventh year in a row, The Architecture Day will take place, featuring exploratory discussions and lectures on architecture in a changing world. Alongside this, the exhibition "The Great Repair Moves North" will be inaugurated in collaboration with ARCH+, accompanied by a comprehensive program. The same week, Open Architecture Studio returns, where Malmö's architects will open their doors for two days to showcase ongoing projects.
