Architectural Uprising, founded as Arkitekturupproret is a Swedish non-profit association and think tank which was founded in September 2016. It defends classical architecture while simultaneously contesting modern architecture, deeming modern buildings unprepossessing. Initially founded as a digital group in 2014, it became an association two years later. Described by Bloomberg as a "significant platform and voice in the design of built environments", it is an independent organization. Its work is analogous to that carried out in the United States by the ICAA.[1][2][3]
