Gitte Juul defends her PhD thesis, Building Relational Spaces, on 28 February 2022 at KØS in Køge. You can also watch the defence online via Zoom.

Building Relational Spaces is an inquiry into the capacity of architecture to construct open, community-supportive, and responsive spaces that challenge the linearity of building and planning processes, – insisting on giving space and relevance to the vulnerable and un-represented in urban development.
