Stockholm: Urban Center of the Nordic Countries
Stockholm’s dominance as a financial and cultural center among the countries facing the Baltic Sea is long established. Its civic tradition has been the source of a remarkable design tradition ranging from architecture and planning, to product design and landscape architecture. This course delves into the ideas and protagonists of a city with worldwide influence.
