On this page you can see the recording of the final conference 15 november 2024.
On the 15th of november we brought together the ten funded projects from the call Designed living environment – architecture, form, design, art and cultural heritage in public spaces, discussing with experts in the field, and the authorities behind the call for forward-looking thoughts.
Formas, the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning, ArkDes, the Swedish National Heritage Board, and the Public Arts Agency Sweden are the joint initiators of this initiative, which takes place within the framework of the National Research Program for Sustainable Spatial Planning for which Formas is responsible.
