The Arctic Building and Construction (ABC) project inviteed people in to an online seminar on Arctic urban space design with an international panel of architects and scholars working on the design of communities and settlements across different Arctic territories.
The webinar Focused on contemporary experiments and experiences with urban space design in different locations: infrastructure, recreation, participation, play, weather and climate.
The ABC sub-project Architecture and Urban Space (Arkitektur og Byrum) is currently mapping the design, use, and perception of outdoor space in contemporary housing development in Greenland.
