STHLMNYC Conversation: Urban Well-Being by Architectural Design

Contemporary architecture is much more than merely the art and practice of designing and constructing buildings. It is an interdisciplinary practice that accounts for environmental, economic and social challenges while applying innovative technologies to develop and realize new solutions. But architecture still is, above all, a design practice.
