How can we talk about the multiple roles expected of, and adopted by, architects? What kind of critique do we expose ourselves to when choosing to work outside of the conventional “office”? What are the biographical expectations that architects face in performing professional personae?
On Friday the 28th February 2014, Karin Matz and Helen Runting of Svensk Standard addressed a lecture to students of the 2nd Year of the Bachelor of Architecture, at the
Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), discussing the role of the architect in light of their experiences working in the field. Following a review of their own practices, the two led an exercise in parody and profiling, exploring and exposing the expectations and judgements young architects face in negotiating diverse interpretations of architectural practice.

Whilst postmodern architecture itself may have been consigned to the “dustbin of history,” this doesn’t mean that it can’t be taken out, dusted off, straightened out, and restored to its former glory!
Embracing the dishonesty of postmodernism, and abandoning the precision of the section and elevation, on the 31st of January 2014, Svensk Standard (in collaboration with Sara Vall, and at the invite of Dr Hélène Frichot and Dr Katja Grillner, Critical Studies in Architecture, KTH) led a workshop with the Masters of Architecture students at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, re-staging the Strada Novissima of the 1980 Venice Biennale in 1:1 scale. The street party that followed formed the culmination of the two-week Re(Orientations) course, which interrogated Sweden’s own postmodern legacy in the area of Södra stationsområdet in Stockholm.
