Urban Forum - Practice meets Academia (ONLINE)

events | seminars, workshops |

The research platforms Urban Arena at Lund University and SLU Urban Futures are arranging the popular Urban Forum - Practice meets Academia, for the third time in February 2021. This time the forum takes place online.

In these first online sessions we will touch upon built or drawn works, practice-based or -oriented, speculative or actual, contemporary or historical, raising the question of the responsibility of design. Our call resulted in a large number of strong responses. To accommodate the high level of interest we have decided to schedule two presentation sessions. This first session will focus on the topic of "Rethinking Design processes". A second session on the theme "Responsibility Across Scales" has been scheduled on 12 March 2021. Practitioners and researchers will present their work in a 7x7 format (7 slides – 7 minutes), followed by a moderated discussion of 14 minutes.

The Urban Forum is a format fostering exchanges between practice and academia, in a collegial atmosphere. The safe space we offer should allow everyone to speak freely about ongoing projects and unresolved issues, to share intuitions and bold ideas they wish to bring to light and get feedback on. For this reason, the sessions will not be recorded and the audience is limited to presenters and their colleagues.

The online Urban Forum is planned as a recurring event and will be held regularly during 2021. If you wish to take part in a future session you are warmly invited to answer our next call for projects (check our website and social media for updates).
