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

Theme

Emerging roles

From Addition & intervention to transformation & regeneration

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?

Focus areas: Development of new in-depth knowledge fields (e.g. materials, cultural heritage, landscape), more interdisciplinary competencies, AI, and technology.

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