#26 - Eric Norin: The Architecture Uprising, how to drive change towards beauty through democratic processes, social media and education

We're excited to have Eric Norin as our guest on this episode. Eric is a classical architect from Sweden who studied at the School of Architecture in Stockholm, but fully discovered his passion for classical architecture at the Engelsberg summer school. Eric has been actively involved in the Swedish Architecture Uprising for several years, watching its growth and impact on the national conversation about architecture. We'll be discussing Eric' insights in the effect the Uprising has had, the power of democratic processes and social media in driving change, the lack of classical architecture education and the role Engelsberg played for him - and much, much more.  Find more information about his firm on their website: https://www.traditionarkitekter.se/ ------- For more information on The Aesthetic City, find our website on https://theaestheticcity.com/ Love what we do?

How come our modern cities have become so hostile to humans, so ugly, car-oriented and grey? What is the solution to these problems - how can we return to a more human, beautiful and liveable city? In this podcast, host Ruben Hanssen interviews experts in the fields of architecture, urban planning and urban design to find out how we can improve our cities, our architecture and our streets, in order to create more friendly and beautiful places. The clock is ticking; valuable land is wasted on dreary developments while many beautiful, picturesque urban environments are at risk of being jarred forever by ugly buildings that don't belong there. There are better ways to build; let's explore how!
