In the lecture they will present new international projects that takes a Nordic approach to sustainable architecture working with social and natural qualities as core design principles.

Among the projects presented will be 3XN/GXN’s Quay Quarter Tower in Sydney that uses a design-for-dissambly approach to create a highly dynamic building that can adjust to the needs of its occupants, CFMøller’s HSB highrise in Stockholm in solid wood and Henning Larsen’s Headquarters for Siemens in Munich where design with daylight and urban integration have created a new vision of what it means to be a locally engaged global company.
