Over tre år er en overset industribygning fra 1960’erne blevet transformeret til et normbrydende communitycenter. Thoravej 29 – Repurposing Itself dokumenterer processen og skildrer de indgreb, der har omformet en uanselig bygningskrop til et uomgængeligt referencepunkt i ny dansk arkitektur.

Filmen er optaget løbende under projektets udvikling. Efter visninger i tidlige versioner på Arkitekturbiennalen i Venedig, Tallinn Architecture Biennale, Chilean Architecture Biennial og Dansk Arkitektur Center præsenteres den nu for første gang i sin endelige form – på stedet, hvor transformationen fandt sted.

Filmen introduceres af skaberne af filmen, fotograf Hampus Berndtson og arkitekt Søren Pihlmann, og efterfølges af en rundvisning i bygningen.

ENG:

Over the course of three years, an overlooked industrial building from the 1960s has been transformed into a boundary-breaking community centre. Thoravej 29 – Repurposing Itself documents the process and captures the interventions that have reshaped an unremarkable structure into a key reference point in contemporary Danish architecture.

Filmed continuously throughout the development of the project, the documentary has previously been shown in early versions at the Venice Architecture Biennale, Tallinn Architecture Biennale, Chilean Architecture Biennial, and the Danish Architecture Center. It is now presented for the first time in its final form – at the very site where the transformation took place.

The screening is introduced by the makers of the film – photographer Hampus Berndtson and architect Søren Pihlmann – and followed by a guided tour of the building.
