- 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, with a contribution from Roemer van Toorn, Professor of Architectural Theory at Umeå School of Architecture.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.HELEN RUNTING: Helen Runting is an urban planner and designer, and a PhD student within at the KTH School of Architecture. Her research addresses practices of criticism and the relation between art, architecture, and urban planning.ERIK SIGGE: Erik Sigge is an architectural historian and preservationist, currently pursuing a PhD in history and theory of architecture at the KTH School of Architecture in Stockholm.FREDRIK TORISSON: Fredrik Torisson is an architect and writer, and a PhD student at the Department of architecture and the built environment at Lund University.ROEMER VAN TOORN: Roemer van Toorn is Professor of Architectural Theory at Umeå School of Architecture.
