With the Hedeskov project, Djernes & Bell transformed a former rural school in Djursland, Denmark, into the headquarters of Hedeskov Center for Regenerative Practices. Djernes & Bell’s approach challenges conventional architectural narratives, prioritising maintenance and adaptation over demolition and new construction. Their cross-disciplinary design works with the existing building and landscape surrounding Hedeskov - moraine clays, typha fiber, and timber - while engaging geologists, craftsmen, scientists, and anthropologists in a process of rethinking how we build in a fragile world

On the night, Justine Bell of Djernes & Bell will be in conversation with Sofie Aagard, developer of the Hedeskov project, and Søren Nørkjær Bang, curator at CAFx. They will talk about the beginnings of the project and the regenerative approach informing it all.
