Register for the meeting

 

Wellcome to NBAA meeting in Lund. In addition to the Heads of Schools, Education and Architecture Programmes/Majors, the study coordinators are welcome to join and meet in Lund.

Theme

Architects in and beyond architecture: renegotiating the profession

Architecture as a profession is changing and taking on a new position in society – previous roles are disappearing, and entirely new ones are emerging. How do we navigate this field as an educational and research institution?

Looking ahead, we will build on the discussions from our previous meeting at AHO in Oslo by focusing on the development of new, in-depth knowledge areas such as new materials, cultural heritage, and landscape, while also strengthening interdisciplinary competencies and exploring the possibilities offered by AI and emerging technologies.

Each member school attending should prepare 10 minutes presentation (of current issues aswell as) on the theme (emerging roles) in context of education and research – and if possible show one example of new educational or research contributions.
