(DA)     På årets Arkitekturbiennale i Venedig kan besøgende i Den Danske Pavillon udforske natur- baseret klimatilpasning af fremtidens kystlandskaber og forstå de mange kystudfordringer, vi står over for. Heriblandt det store dilemma mellem menneskets ønske om kystnære bebyggelser og boliger og klimaforandringernes voldsomme indvirkning på vores kystlandskaber.

Under Copenhagen Architecture Festival skaber vi en satellit af udstillingen i Venedig på Halmtorvet og inviterer til en række samtaler og film om kystlandskabernes fremtid.

(EN)     Get a taste of Venice in Vesterbro when CAFx puts up a satellite exhibition of the Danish contribution to this year’s Architecture Biennial. In the spatial reenactment we will host an event-series and film program around the fate of the coast in the currents of climate change.

"Coastal Imaginaries takes you back to the future of landscapes and building methods, presenting nature-based design solutions in an age of human-based environmental destruction. Through a composite of speculative scenography and displays of novel research projects, the exhibition invites the audience to explore the spatial logistics of the coastal realm and its field of fluctuating forces, destabilizing and disclosing the terrestrial bias of human headspace and habitats.

Setting out to be a laboratory of hope in the midst of universal hopelessness, Coastal Imaginaries offers a catalogue of proposals for a coastal future grounded in seven nature-based principles. These principles do not merely stretch across time and vast landscapes, but address as well the pressing perspective of the contemporary urgencies of flooding and storm surges. Beyond simply being mechanisms of resilience, these strategies can serve as carbon sinks, foodscapes, material banks, and spaces for human recreation and more-than-human habitation."

- Excerpt from Josephine Michau's introduction to the exhibition Coastal Imaginaries, this year’s Danish contribution to the Venice Architecture Biennale

The Ministry of Culture owns the Danish Pavilion in Venice and has appointed Danish Architecture Center (DAC) as commissioner for the official Danish contribution to the 18th International Architecture Exhibition. The project is relised with support from among others The Ministry of Culture Denmark, The Danish Arts Foundation’s Committee for Architecture and the philanthropic association Realdania. ‘Coastal Imaginaries’ can be seen in Venice from 20 May - 26 Nov. 2023. It will subsequently be shown in Denmark, among others at DAC.
