LO-RES: "Why architecture needs low-resolution critique" (launch event, Sep 17)

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.
