ATUT 2026 – 18th Annual Symposium of Architectural Research in Finland
luxe
The Annual Symposium of Architectural Research in Finland is organized at the Oulu School of Architecture with the topic Architectural Currents: Exploring the state of the art in architectural research.
Architectural research is at a pivotal moment in time where a host of crises relating to sustainability, digitalization, economics, geopolitics, and demographics are occurring simultaneously. This polycrisis is posing significant challenges to modes of planning, design, and inquiry.
The ATUT 2026 symposium invites practitioners and researchers in the field of architecture and urban planning to examine the past histories, current landscapes, and potential future trajectories of architectural research. We ask, where does architectural research stand today in Finland and the world, and where is it going? How can architectural research respond to the plethora of challenges emerging in the world today? And how does architectural education respond to these challenges and changes in pedagogical understanding?
Over two days, these topics are explored and reflected on through a thought-provoking presentations and by keynote lecturer James Brown, Associate Professor of Architecture at Umeå School of Architecture. The symposium is free of charge and invites everyone to discuss the future of architectural research.
