International  symposium organised by Sarah Rivière, Wiltrud Simbürger and Daniela Urland / for n-ails e.V in co-operation with the Nordic Embassies in Berlin

 

The act of “residing“, so fundamental to humanity, faces unprecedented challenges today. In the context of current socio-economic and cultural uncertainties, precarious ecological conditions, forced up-rootedness, re-defined concepts of gender and family, and recent pandemic realities, we have to decide:

How do we want to live together in the future?

The symposium will discuss playful and creative responses to changing desires for a home in societies that find it more and more difficult to provide one.

A Bed in a Community

Keynote talk by Tina Saaby, architect, citymaker and placemaker, city architect of Gladsaxe, former chief city architect of Copenhagen and partner at WITRAZ architects + landscape.

24th June, 2021, at 4pm (in English)

In her keynote talk Tina Saaby, citymaker and placemaker, discusses housing and future residential living: large and small, collective and individual.

Embracing the wider scale of how we will develop society and our neighbourhood communities, and the smaller scale where future residential living and feeling "at home” can be the importance of having a bed on your own and feeling the daylight in your face.
