The exhibition aimed to promote dialogue on climate and economic transition in the Arctic from an architectural and urban planning perspective, as well as to use architecture creatively to explore future alternatives for society in the Swedish Arctic.The exhibition was based on three hypotheses:
Form follows environment. This hypothesis suggested that the design of future Arctic settlements would be directly influenced by Arctic environmental conditions, adapting the form to wind, snow, ice, rain, and changing landscapes.
The network works. This concept viewed the city as an interconnected system where local issues and broader territorial challenges mutually influence each other, integrating local communities into larger regional or global discussions.
Green, blue, and white. Towards sustainability, this approach treated nature as essential infrastructure for the northern regions, with design strategies that effectively utilized vegetation, water, and ice as interconnected systems.
