Nils Erik Wikberg Lectures 2025

Name: Archinfo
Price range: $

Design often begins with caution — asking “What if everything goes wrong?”
But what if we turned the question around: “What if everything goes right?”

The Best Case Scenario theme invites architects and planners to imagine a future built on trust, creativity and optimism.
What could architecture become when it’s guided by hope instead of fear?
How might we design spaces that nurture community, sustainability and joy?

Join us as we shift from crisis thinking to possibility thinking —
and explore what happens when design dares to dream, and to build, for the best.
