Svensk Standard will be working at Kulturhuset, Stockholm, this weekend. We have been invited to produce feedback on the guidelines for architectural quality, ‘Arkitektur Stockholm’, recently put forward by the City of Stockholm. Our workshop will focus on terms and concepts used within the text, and portrayed as “naturally” benign truths. Phrases like “contemporary architecture” and “well-functioning urban life” will be reassessed, redefined and handed back to the City as trojan horses, posing questions and proposing a different idea of how to define architecture and city planning in a more open and experimental manner.
