Raymond Johansen was Governing Mayor of Oslo from 2015 to 2023, a period in which the city advanced policies linking climate objectives with urban management and development. During his mandate, Oslo incorporated environmental criteria into mobility planning, public space design, and municipal procurement, influencing how the city plans and builds. In his lecture within the series "Re_Solution" at IE School of Architecture&Design, Johansen will address his role in developing clean construction policies and the introduction of zero-emission construction sites within this broader framework. His experience provides insight into how municipal governance can affect the built environment through regulatory, technical, and administrative decisions.
Craft & Care at IE School of Architecture & Design
This year’s lecture series CRAFT&CARE at IE School of Architecture and Design, curated by Grazielle Bruscato, invites students to reflect on how making, maintaining and repairing—across architecture, fashion and design—can be a transformative practice of attention, commitment and responsibility. The series highlights the resurgence of craft as both contemporary practices and cultural heritage, celebrating voices from across the globe, embracing diverse material traditions and design processes, and affirming care as a transversal force that fosters well-being, social cohesion and ecological sustainability.
