New and shiny website just published for the South of North achitectural exhibition and seminar series http://www.southofnorth.info/
The South of North project is dedicated to discussion on and presention of works built by different actors from northern countries realized in developing environments. The project enables the design teams to set the architecture under critical examination: what does our nordic background bring to the projects? Is there a nordic indentity in the buildings without us realising it? When is a building the right answer and what should be considered before realizing one?
The first miniseminar will be held in Helsinki in the Fall 2013. We'll keep you posted on the dates and details as soon as they are set.
Ukumbi is one of the main organizers for the project. Contact person for the project is Inari Virkkala, ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ).
