Lund Architecture Symposium 2012

LAS*12 is a two-day symposium on the theme of "the expanding grounds of architecture"

The Lund Architecture Symposium intends to critically examine the situation of today in which globalization has reached other frontiers. Our concern involves an investigation of what individuals and groups of trained architects do today rather than what the market suggests as a base of professional activity. Diversity, perhaps especially through individual commitments, has in the past contributed to our understanding of what architecture really is capable of offering our lives. Is there at present, yet a new shift in paradigm?
