Microbial Architectures: Sharing the City With Microbes
A lecture on how microbes and human well-being is connected through soil ecologies, building materials, and urban planning—and how acknowledging processes of decay can inform healthier, more resilient cities. After the lecture Madland, MYCO, and Bygaard will serve a snack of mushrooms harvested from the exhibition (To be confirmed)

About Living With Other Species: An Evening School

The city is buzzing with life, yet we often overlook everything but the human. Living With Other Species is a six-part evening school—with talks, film screenings, and city walks—exploring how to plan for and live alongside other species in the cities of the future. Moving across scales from regional planning to the secret lives of bats, ants, and microbes, we shift our gaze to imagine new forms of interspecies cohabitation.

Speakers at this event
MYCO - Uffe Emil Holm Thomsen and Laurits Genzler
MYCO develops biogenic architectural building materials - specifically mycelium-based composite materials - to create new products and architectures that help cities. Cities worldwide are growing, and the construction industry needs local materials with high reusability and low embodied carbon usage to reduce its climate footprint.
Madland
Madland is a food-political hub and community rooted in and for microbial life. Together, they rethink and transform food systems with social responsibility, while eating and working toward resilient local food systems and global justice.
Adam Bencard
Adam Bencard is Associate Professor in Medical Humanities at the Medical Museion and the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research, University of Copenhagen. He has curated a number of exhibitions at the intersection of science, art, and history, including Mind the Gut (2017) and The World is in You (2021) at Kunsthal Charlottenborg. His research explores metabolism and microbiome science from historical and philosophical perspectives, investigating what it means to be human in the postgenomic era.
