Launch event at the New KTH School of Architecture, Osquars Backe 5 in Stockholm at 18:00 on September 17!

Welcome to the first KTH-A Thursday event of the academic year, highlighting the recently launched architectural theory journal LO-RES. Hailing from the northern edge of Europe, Sweden, LO-RES is published biannually in English, and is supported by ResArc, the Swedish National School of Architectural Research. The editors of LO-RES – Helen Runting, Erik Sigge, and Fredrik Torisson – are hosting the talk.

LO-RES is an international architectural theory journal. Eschewing the slick, the finished and the true in favour of the tangential, the speculative and the fuzzy, LO-RES publishes essays on architecture that resonate at lower resolutions. In an over-saturated discourse that is full of sharp images which reveal very little, we believe that lo-fi commentary, plagued by interference and inconsistencies, both travels further and says more.

Hailing from the northern edge of Europe, Sweden, LO-RES is published biannually in English, and is supported by   ResArc, the Swedish National School of Architectural Research.
