Henning Larsen Architects is known for its scandinavian approach to buildings. Light, transparency, sustainability play a vital role. But can these democratic values be exported on a global scale? Are they what megacities in China and elsewhere really need? Or are there lessons that western architects should learn?

The talk by Katherine Rodgers will give you a valuable insight into the philosophy and strategies employed by a leading international custodian developer.
In dialogue with Oliver Schulze and Migge Hoffmann, Katherine will discuss how to involve investors willing to forgo an immediate return in anticipation of more substantial returns down the road. Katherine will give you an exclusive look into her work-life experiences, views and ideas on how to deliver long term, sustainable value using ‘patient capital’. How can developers of new city districts help to build and manage environments where a similarly rich and complex city life can develop over time?

Awakening the dead
Even the most beautiful architecture remains an empty corpus, if you cannot fill it with life. But how turn buildings and urban surroundings into living spaces with a pulse? Meet three experts, that take on the challenge: Ngaire Blankenberg works to make museums attractive, inclusive, and relevant to people in the city. Erling Fossen is a skilled city developer, dedicated to bring soul to the city and the city to your soul, by opening up every building to public use. Kristian Lars Ahlmark is a technical skilled designer with great experience in improving and creating new ways for people to interact with a focus on third spaces.
Landscapes have always been the starting point for Norwegian Snøhetta. “They are masterpieces, that inspire architecture”, says co-founder Kjetil Thorsen.
But what happens, if you see our urban surroundings as a landscape? And how does architecture relate to the way we live and remember? A philosophical tour de force through the approach behind such iconic buildings as the Alexandria Library, the Opera in Oslo and the Memorial Pavilion at Ground Zero in New York.
