Eric Norin on how the Architecture Uprising Movement is Changing the Political Landscape in Sweden

As the Vice President of the Swedish Architecture Uprising (Arkitekturupproret), Eric Norin is a strong proponent of humane and harmonious architecture and city planning, and has appeared in numerous debates on architecture in Swedish media. Norin works as a professional architect within the classical tradition, and runs his own architecture firm Tradition Arkitekter, specializing in new classical production and renovation. He argues that city planning is a democratic matter and that we must start developing greater democratic basis for what is being built. Surveys clearly show that people generally prefer classical and beautiful buildings, and Norin stresses that people ought to act according to their architectural preferences: Buy new classical houses and visit stores in classical buildings! As social media has made the architecture debate more open, are we witnessing the fall of the modernist hegemony? 👍✨ Support our show and get access to more than 180 exclusive posts: https://patreon.com/caveofapelles/ Chapter markers: 01:47: Norin's path to becoming a classical architect 06:28: Self-learning at The Royal Academy 12:33: Founding The Architecture Uprising (Arkitekturuppröret) 17:33: Key to success: before and after pictures 23:44: INTBAU education of classical architects 27:10: "True" architecture is ugly architecture 29:58: The definition of "classical architecture" 38:18: "Modern" vs "modernism" 46:33: How classical architecture strives towards nature 54:40: The patterns of history 59:33: A "rational" approach vs diversity 01:06:34: The Architecture Uprising is impacting politics 01:10:11: Everybody wants to live in Disney Land 01:15:26: Notre Dame fire: a gift to classical crafts 01:17:38: Eric Norin's greatest fear 01:23:33: Three sustainability-arguments for classical architecture This episode featured Eric Norin & Carl Korsnes and was filmed and edited by Bork Nerdrum.
