Turbo chickens, plant-based steaks and a pandemic. A lot has happened since the first 'Food Inc.' film, and it's time for a fresh in-depth look at the food industry and at possible solutions.
Organic food is taking up more and more space on supermarket shelves and local vegetable markets are popping up in more and more neighbourhoods. But there are also more and more people on the planet, and 15 years after the Oscar-nominated mega hit ‘Food Inc.’, it turns out that the modern food industry still needs a thorough overhaul. This is exactly what we get here, and you don’t need to have seen the first film to understand just what an incredible impact agriculture and the food industry has not only on what we eat, but on the world around us. Directing duo Melissa Robledo and Robert Kenner uncover everything from monopolisation, lobbying and the logic of capitalism to what exactly happens in your brain when you eat a McDonald’s burger. But they also look at possible solutions and what the kitchen of the future might look like.

Turbokyllinger, plantebøffer og en pandemi. Der er sket meget siden den første ‘Food Inc.’-film, og det er tid til et kritisk, dybdegående eftersyn af fødevareindustrien - og til at se på mulige løsninger. Opfølgeren til det 15 år gamle kæmpehit leverer varen.
Økologiske madvarer fylder mere og mere på supermarkedshylderne, og lokale grøntsagsmarkeder dukker op i flere og flere nabolag. Men vi bliver også flere og flere mennesker på planeten, og 15 år efter det Oscar-nominerede filmhit ’Food Inc.’ viser det sig, at den moderne fødevareindustri stadig trænger til et grundigt eftersyn. Det får vi her, og man behøver ikke at have set den første film for at blive uendeligt meget klogere på hvor ubegribeligt stor indflydelse, landbruget og fødevarebranchen har ikke blot på hvad vi spiser, men på hele verden omkring os. Instruktørparret Melissa Robledo og Robert Kenner afdækker alt fra monopolisering, lobbyisme og kapitalismens logik, til hvad der helt præcis sker i din hjerne, når du spiser en burger fra McDonald’s. Men de ser også på mulige løsninger og på, hvordan fremtidens køkken kan komme til at se ud.

Vær med til en samtale om, hvordan vi kan genskabe fødevareproduktionen og redesigne vores byer og samfund mere holistisk med lokal fødevareproduktion i tankerne.
MAD. Det former vores daglige liv, det former strukturen i vores byer, og det forbinder til over 25 % af de globale CO2-udledninger. At ændre klodens fødevaresystemer er at ændre måden, hvorpå vi bebor kloden.
Danmark skiller sig ud som Europas mest dyrkede nation, hvor landbruget dækker cirka 60 procent af landets samlede areal. Tre fjerdedele af denne dyrkede jord er dedikeret til husdyrfoderproduktion, hvilket kun efterlader sparsomme 4 procent afsat til direkte dyrkning af fødevareafgrøder til konsumere.

Although our cities occupy only a tiny fraction of the Earth’s crust, the operational landscapes required to sustain them sprawl across vast expanses of land. In Spain for instance, more than 23 million hectares—nearly half of the country’s surface area—is used for this purpose. This chapter turns the spotlight on the agricultural landscapes that feed our cities, and the architectures and dynamics that enable them to function. Within these productive geographies, a complex interplay of bodies—territorial, human, animal, and machinic—occurs, each body playing its part in a multifaceted, interscalar dance. It is against this backdrop that land colonisation converges with urgent issues, such as animal instrumentalisation and the exploitation of migrant labour.

FOOD. It shapes our daily lives, molds the structure of our cities, and connects to over 25% of global CO2 emissions. Transforming the world's food systems means transforming the ways of inhabiting the world.
Denmark stands out as Europe's most intensively cultivated nation, where agriculture blankets approximately 60 percent of the country's total area. Three-quarters of this cultivated land is dedicated to fodder production for livestock, leaving only a scant 4 percent allocated for directly cultivating food crops for human consumption.
Join us for a conversation on how to reimagine food production and redesign our cities and communities holistically, with local food production in mind.

Deltag i en samtale centreret omkring jord- og arealforvaltning i Danmark.
JORD. Hjemsted for mere end en fjerdedel af den biologiske mangfoldighed på jorden, planetens største vandfilter og et af de vigtigste naturlige systemer for kulstoflagring. Sund jord betyder sunde økosystemer og et godt grundlag for frugtbare fødevaresystemer.
Regenerativt landbrug er blevet beskrevet som en landbrugsrevolution, der har løftet om en storslået vending af tendensen til jordudtømning og en væsentlig stigning i kulstofbinding.
Deltag i en samtale centreret omkring jord- og arealforvaltning i Danmark, hvor vi udforsker byerne, landskaber og regenerativ arealanvendelse, og spørger, hvordan vi kan løse de presserende problemer med klimakollaps og masseudryddelse, mens vi prioriterer næringsrig og bæredygtige fødevaresystemer.

As diverse as any rainforest or coral reef, we depend on the soil for 99% of our food. Yet, despite its importance, its mechanisms remain largely mysterious and poorly understood. The final episode focuses on soil as the primordial infrastructure underpinning both agriculture and architecture. The soil beneath our feet constitutes the very foundation of our food systems; a complex ecology of microscopic processes and assemblings that mediates the chemical transformation of the geosphere into the biosphere, and to which we owe the richness and diversity of our pantries. The microscopic narratives emerging in this veiled realm are macroscopic in scale and scope, and studying them may be the key to achieving a more resilient, more distributed, more diverse, and more sustainable food system than we have ever known.

SOIL. Home to more than a quarter of the biological diversity on earth, the planet's largest water filter and one of the most important natural carbon storage systems. Healthy soil means healthy ecosystems and a good foundation for fertile food systems.
Regenerative agriculture has been described as an agricultural revolution, holding the promise of a grand reversal of the trend toward soil depletion and a substantial increase in carbon sequestration.
Join us for a conversation centred around soil and land management in Denmark as we explore the entanglements of cities, landscapes and regenerative land-use, and ask how we can address the pressing issues of climate collapse and mass extinction while prioritizing nutritious and secure food systems.

Om værket:
LANDET
Komponist: Jacob Kirkegaard
Den internationalt prisbelønnede komponist Jakob Kirkegaard har foretaget optagelserne til lydværket ’LANDET’ over halvandet år, bl.a. på en svine-, kvæg- og kyllingefarm, men også på storslagteriet Danish Crown. Det er blevet til et lydportræt af det mekaniserede landbrug og en invitation ind i et fremmedartet klangunivers af endeløs pulseren og hypnotiserende hamren.

CAFx invites you to the opening of the exhibition FOODSCAPES with drinks and introductions by the curators from the Spanish Pavilion during the 18th International Venice Architecture Biennale.
Join us for the opening of the exhibition FOODSCAPES, this year's Spanish contribution to the Architecture Biennial in Venice, adapted to Halmtorvet 27 and the local context by CAFx.
At the event, you can meet the curators Eduardo Castillo-Vinuesa and Manuel Ocaña and the Future Foodscapes Research Unit, who will present the exhibition and their work. Afterwards, we will serve drinks. The event is free – just come by!
Every time we eat, without being aware of it, we connect our plate to a plethora of remote sites: supermarkets, greenhouses, farms, cold chains, logistics networks, warehouses, and wastelands. But regrettably, the architecture facilitating these processes rarely garners attention and does not grace the pages of glossy architectural magazines, remaining mostly unnoticed despite its immense importance. Yet, in a world where every bite we take reverberates across the planet, now more than ever, we must redesign these food systems with their ecosystemic implications in mind.
FOODSCAPES prompts us to focus on the overlooked but crucial architecture that supports our food systems, from the domestic laboratories of our kitchens to the vast operational landscapes that nourish our cities.
The exhibition is composed of three main parts: an audiovisual project of five short films, an archive in the form of a recipe book, and a comprehensive public programme:
If the agri-food system is an architecture, then what is its anatomy? The main course of foodscapes is an audiovisual feast of five short films, each delving into a distinct layer of the agrologistic process: FOUNDATION, PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, CONSUMPTION and DIGESTION. Crafted by interdisciplinary teams of architects and filmmakers, these episodes are insightful explorations into the systemic, political and ecological implications of the architectures behind our meals.
Whereas the short films offer an in-depth taxonomy of the constitutive layers of the food system, the total recipes are case studies of how different dishes cut across the five layers, providing a cross-section of how the entire system works. Unlike traditional recipes, which only cover the mixing protocols of the ingredients readily available in our kitchens, these TOTAL RECIPES go further to encompass the long infrastructural chain that is necessary for their elaboration.
While the short films and various recipes examine the current state of our foodscapes, the core of the exhibition is a public program of collaborative research aimed at envisioning future sustainable models for feeding the world without devouring the planet. Through lectures, workshops, film screenings, and guided tours, we extend an invitation for you to engage in an exploration of the intricacies of global food systems, encouraging deeper understandings, unearthing hidden narratives, and cultivating a collective commitment to building more sustainable, equitable, and resilient futures.

Kan vi overføre fortidens byggetraditioner til fremtidens byggebranche? Og giver det overhovedet mening at prøve?
Brugen af mursten som byggemateriale har været definerende for den danske byggeskik og arkitektoniske kulturarv. Men den teknologiske og industrielle udvikling har ændret måden vi bygger på og dermed også vilkårene for brugen af traditionelle byggematerialer og -metoder.
I det sidste CAFx ARKEN arrangement ser vi nærmere på, hvordan unge tegnestuer i dag forholder sig til dansk byggeskik og håndværkstraditioner i deres egen arkitekturpraksis. I selskab med arkitekterne Kim Lenschow og Justine Bell, spørger vi, hvordan man kan gentænke den vernakulære arkitektur i en nutidig kontekst og arbejde med regenerative tilgange til moderne byggeri. Samtalen bliver modereret af forlægger Kristoffer Weiss.
Justine Bell er arkitekt og partner i tegnestuen Djernes & Bell, som har en særlig interesse for arkitekturens lokale forankring. De er optaget af bio-inklusive og regenerative praksisser, og undersøger hvordan arkitektur kan imødekomme vores planetariske begrænsninger gennem især reparation og renovering.
Kim Lenschow er arkitekt og partner i Office Kim Lenschow, der søger at udfordre indgroede værdier, overbevisninger og materielle fortællinger gennem arkitektur og kritisk design.
Kristoffer Weiss er filosof, tidligere partner i Effekt og direktør for Arkitektens Forlag. Han har bl.a. været medforfatter til bogen 'Den ny bølge i dansk arkitektur'.
Arrangementet er gratis med entré til museet.
Medlemmer af CAFx får 10% rabat på museumsentré på dagen for arrangementet.
I forbindelse med udstillingen Bricks – Per Kirkeby samarbejder CAFx med ARKEN om at kuratere et bredspektret offentligt program gennem flere medier og formater og med gæster fra ind- og udland.

From 13 October 2023 to 16 February 2024, ARKEN Museum for Contemporary Art is showing the large-scale exhibition Bricks - Per Kirkeby, which is dedicated to Per Kirkeby's (1938-2018) monumental brick sculptures. Late in life, the well-known Danish artist gave permission for the brick sculptures to be built posthumous, and a selection of the rare sculptures now fills the museum's large Art Axis.
Brick is typically Danish — an integral part of the building culture from medieval churches to modernist detached houses. Kirkeby's sculptures are at once recognisable in their everyday use of bricks and sublime in their monumental primaeval forms. However, much has happened since Per Kirkeby created his brick sculptures. Topics such as nature-based solutions, raw materials, material and resource consumption have become hot topics in relation to the construction industry's gigantic CO2 footprint, natural crises and the role of architecture. We strongly emphasize this in the borderland between art and architecture.
In connection with the exhibition Bricks - Per Kirkeby, CAFx collaborates with ARKEN on curating a broad-spectrum public program through several media and formats and with guests from home and abroad.
The full program will be announced soon.

The young architectural office Panum & Kappel invites you to a studio visit at their Vesterbro-based office, where they will tell about their circular construction principles, showing models of radical transformation experiments exhibited at Utzon Centre's recent Super Danish exhibition.
Through selected projects, Panum & Kappel will share insights into their resource-conscious and socially responsible approach to shaping the built environment. The office's architectural practice creates and develops architecture based on circular construction principles, incorporating reused, recycled, and renewable materials.
By employing experimental practices and engaging with local communities, they specialize in the revitalization, renovation, and transformation of existing buildings and spaces.
They preserve, transform, and reuse before initiating new construction, identifying the potential inherent in existing structures and recycling building materials.
As part of Generation Transformation, the practice is committed to minimizing our ecological footprint, with an awareness of limited resources, by working innovatively within the existing built environment, discovering the value of the existing, and recognizing our responsibility to the future, creating purpose and long-term value through circular thinking. The lecture will introduce a series of strategies that define Panum & Kappel's approach to resource-conscious construction, featuring a selection of projects and experiments that collectively provide insights into their work.

Join us for an exploration of how younger Danish architects make do with now, transforming and renovating the existing structures rather than making grand gestures from scratch.
During this salon, CAFx invites younger Danish architecture studios, working in line with approaches and themes of our current exhibition, Make Do with Now: New Directions in Japanese Architecture, to reflect upon what the curator Yuma Shinohara characterises as the “renovation generation” in a Japanese context: ‘Increasingly, architecture in Japan is one of transformation and reprogramming, rather than of new construction. If previous generations of young architects had made their name through adventurous single-family homes, commissioned by young families to mark new phases of their lives, one could speak now of a “renovation generation” whose first projects consist of small-scale refurbishments of existing buildings and interiors – an observation borne out by taking a look at any recent architecture magazine in Japan. On the one hand, this trend is a function of scarcity – commissions for new constructions are few and far between, often because young people simply do not have the resources to buy property and finance new houses from the ground up – but this is also reflective of a general shift in cultural values.’
Nicolai Bo Andersen, Djernes & Bell, Kim Lenschow and gruppe-aja will present their work and methodology in light of scarcity of resources, nature crises, aesthetics, changed values, etc. How might a strategy and methodology of a ‘renovation generation’ look like in a Danish context? How to transform and renovate ‘boring’ buildings from the 1960s - 1990s of varying quality and of an enormous quantity (instead of demolishing them and building from scratch)? What are the environmental, economic, cultural and aesthetic problems and potentials?
While drinks are served, you can continue the discussion with your friends and colleagues and see the exhibition.
You can meet:
Nicolai Bo Andersen, professor at the Royal Academy of Architecture - Centre for Sustainable Building Culture, who has and is educating many of the young architects of a ‘renovation generation’, working more modestly with transformation of existing structures.
(Nicolai Bo Andersen will both function as a moderator and take part in the conversation).
Djernes & Bell, is an architectural practice based in Copenhagen with a special interest in what already exists: built, material, human, natural.
Kim Lenschow, (the former partner of Søren Pihlmann), aiming to cultivate a more aware and authentic engagement with the world and the structures that surround us.

How does the ‘renovation generation’ of younger Japanese offices relate to the traditions and history of Japanese architecture?
First, assistant professor and expert of Japanese architecture at the Royal Danish Academy, Alex Hummel Lee will give a lecture on Japanese architecture in the 20th and 21st centuries. This ‘tour de force’ will offer an opportunity for the Copenhagen audience to get more familiar with the broader context and background for some of the themes and practices represented in the exhibition Make Do with Now. Although modern Japanese architecture may appear as a unidirectional movement, beneath the surface, it contains a richly varied pattern of warring oppositions and factions, a local microcosm of distinctive currents of fierce rivalries and loud debates. The Japanese concept of architecture itself has divided the discipline into two tone-setting contrasting facets – the technical one with the architect as building constructor and the artistic one with the architect as auteur. That development started with a dramatic upheaval when, after more than 200 years of isolation from the outside world, Japan suddenly had to open up the country in the 1850s and catch up with the neglected centuries of inspiration from the West. It became the basis for a modern Japanese culture that took over the concept of architecture without its roots and which can still seem to stand outside and reflect itself in international developments. In the lecture, the Japanese architectural discipline is first presented from its infancy in the 1870s and as part of the culture up through time until early modernism. Then, currents in Japanese modern architecture within the last 100 years are outlined through a family tree populated by the most essential central figures.
After the historical lecture, architect Yutaro Muraji from CHAr, one of the young Japanese offices featured in the exhibition, will be present through a live connection. He will react to some of the themes presented by Alex Hummel Lee in his lecture and then speak about how his practice tries to build off / rethink the context they have inherited. In particular, CHAr’s work has much to do with the specific history of post-war urban development in Japanese cities. Moreover, he will present CHAr’s methodology and reflect on how they practice architecture beyond the traditional scrap-and-build approach. Thus, rather than demolishing and building within short-term timespans/intervals (like the famous case of the Ise temple being rebuilt in 20-year cycles), they renovate the existing structures according to changing societal needs and natural crises.

Join the architectural office LOKAL for a site visit to their prize-winning renovation of the façade of Ørsteds Haver in Frederiksberg, taking the renovation of a 1960s 'eyesore' building to a new level.
The main idea of the Ørsteds Haver project is to create a holistic environmental, social and architectural counterpoint to the pragmatic renovations carried out all over Denmark, which often have a one-sided focus on energy. For a sustainable future, it is not enough that we build sustainably alone. We will also need visionary methods to transform and adapt our existing building mass to the needs of the future to extend their use and lifetime. This is relevant not only for our architectural heritage worthy of preservation but perhaps even more so for the less attractive or even hated houses in our cities like this much-debated 1960s building by Ole Hagen.
Ørsteds Haver is an example of a project that has taken a generic facade renovation in a different direction, thereby future-proofing a strongly criticized building to the benefit of the environment, the residents and the surrounding urban space. Ørsteds Haver developed from an ordinary facade renovation, which was supposed to prevent the ingress of water on the open swallow corridors and reduce noise from the road to a drastic rethinking of the building's shared, semi-private and private living areas - in addition to a radical change of the building's relationship to H.C. Ørstedsvej. There are private living areas on the outside of the corridor on glass-covered terraces. The main idea behind this approach is to create a new kind of social space where the residents of the house can meet each other in a way that is random, immediate and with high frequency.
Ørsteds Haver was created in a collaboration between Tegnestuen LOKAL, the owners' association, Salling Group and Amstrup & Baggesen, who together created the possibilities for the project to succeed. Before the renovation, the building was among the least liked in Frederiksberg and was called Frederiksberg's ugliest facade by the residents themselves. The project received Renoverprisen in 2021.

CAFx og Art Hub Copenhagen inviterer indenfor til en aften i transformationens tegn sammen med Pihlmann Architects.
The event is in both English and Danish. Scroll down for English version.
Under Kulturnatten fortæller Pihlmann Architects om den radikale transformation af CAFx og Art Hubs lokaler fra bank til kontor- og udstillingslokaler: Et kroneksempel på, hvordan yngre arkitekter tilgår klimaforandringer og økonomiske kriser ved at genbruge den eksisterende bygningsmasse frem for at bygge nyt. Du kan også opleve udstillingen Make Do with Now om unge japanske arkitekter, der forholder sig direkte til globale udfordringer, samt se en film om Art Hub og Bikubenfondens kommende hovedkvarter i Nordvest, som du helt ekstraordinært også kan besøge virtuelt.
Udstillingen Make Do With Now introducerer en ny generation af japanske arkitekter og byplanlæggere født mellem midten af 1970'erne og midten af 1990'erne. De fleste af de udstillede arkitekter begyndte deres professionelle løbebane efter det store jordskælv i det østlige Japan i 2011 og Fukushima-atomulykken. Det er en generation, der må forholde sig til en række akutte udfordringer, som landet står overfor, herunder en dalende og aldrende befolkning, en affolkning af landdistrikterne, udbredelsen af tomme huse i hele landet, profitdrevet byudvikling, primært uden arkitekters involvering, en stagnerende økonomi og selvfølgelig den globale klimakrise.
I stedet for at resignere vælger mange af denne generations arkitekter at konfrontere disse udfordringer ligepå, og udvikler en række kritiske, økologiske og sociale praksisser, der kreativt "klarer sig" med det forhåndenværende: Med begrænsede ressourcer, med fundne materialer eller med eksisterende rum. I modsætning til de strømlinede og minimalistiske rum, man ofte forbinder med japansk arkitektur, er disse arkitekter karakteriseret af en markant anderledes æstetik og etik, der ikke er bange for at lade tingene stå rå og ufærdige frem. Uanset om de arbejder fra periferien, udnytter huller i systemet eller indtager nye roller i processen, udtrykker disse praktikere en ny arkitektonisk handlekraft, der adskiller sig radikalt fra det traditionelle billede af arkitekten som ‘starchitect’.
Med denne version af Make Do With Now perspektiverer CAFx disse udfordringer og tilgange til en dansk kontekst og undersøger fællestræk og forskelle mellem japanske og danske arkitektoniske eksperimenterende praksisser.
Ved at introducere nye japanske praksisser i en dansk sammenhæng præsenteres både legende tilgange og nyttige værktøjer, der kan inspirere den nye 'generation transformation' og udvide vores opfattelse af værdisætning og kreativitet inden for det byggede miljø.

IN ENGLISH
CAFx and Art Hub Copenhagen invite you inside for an evening on transformation and renovation.
Pihlmann Architects presents the radical transformation of CAFx and Art Hub's premises from a bank to an office- and exhibition space: a prime example of how younger architects face climate changes and economic crisis by reusing the existing building stock rather than building anew. You can also see the exhibition Make Do with Now, featuring young Japanese architects from a 'renovation generation' who respond directly to global challenges, and watch a film about Art Hub's new space, which you for this occasion can visit virtually, too.
Make Do With Now introduces the thinking and projects of a new generation of architects and urban practitioners working in Japan today. Born between the mid-1970s and mid-1990s, the architects featured in the exhibition largely entered professional practice following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima nuclear disaster. This is a generation that must grapple with a range of urgent problems currently facing the country, including a declining, graying population and an emptying countryside; the proliferation of vacant houses across the nation; profit-driven urban development, mostly without the involvement of architects; a stagnant economy; and, of course, the global climate crisis.
Instead of being humbled into resignation, however, many architects of this cohort are choosing to confront these challenges head-on. Turning their marginalized position into a strength, they are developing a range of critical, ecological, and social practices that creatively “make do” – with limited resources, with found materials, or with existing spaces. In contrast to the clean lines and minimalist spaces most recently associated with contemporary Japanese architecture, these projects pursue a decidedly different aesthetic politics that isn’t afraid to leave things rough around the edges. Whether working from the periphery, exploiting gaps in the system, or occupying roles in the process that have previously been overlooked, these practitioners are articulating a new architectural agency that radically departs from the traditional image of the architect-author.
With the re-staging of Make Do With Now, CAFx situates these challenges and approaches into a Danish context and seeks out common features between the Japanese and Danish architectural landscapes and the experimental practices that emerge from them.
By introducing emerging Japanese practices into a Danish context we present both playful approaches and useful tools to inspire the emerging ‘renovation generation’ and broaden the perception of value and creativity within the built environment.
Access for the event requires a 'Culture Pass' for Copenhagen Culture Night, which can be acquired through the ticket link on this page.

As part of CAFx’ ongoing project, the 10 Dogmas initiative, we invite you to partake in an evening dedicated to the discussion of new ideas for a sector in a moment of radical transformations.
This event will host two lectures held by the newly appointed LINA Fellows, centering on two fundamental dogmas within mainstream architecture that impede the emergence of a genuine green transition: standardization and spatial excess.
We provide innovative ideas, wine and light refreshments.
PROGRAM
Beyond Standardization with Superposition
The need for certainty is part of an important effort to make buildings safer, however, it is also fundamentally linked to the economic models which shape the factory system. Contemporary building practice is a rigidly linear process where design must precede the act of building. A standardised approach, while simple to automate, makes the integration of locally available and natural materials difficult, and negates the improvisational quality of craft practices - reducing construction to the assembly of a kit of parts.
The award-winning studio Superposition believes that working with uncertainty does not mean accepting chaos and that the attempt to eliminate variability is inconsistent with material reality. Rebirth, change, and adaptation are fundamental to resilience. Superposition presents architecture not as an object but as a process: humane rather than technocratic, seen not as a single solution but as moments of reconciliation.
Beyond Urban Leftovers with Alberto Roncelli
Over the past 50 years in Copenhagen, as in many other European cities, the area between the old city centre and the suburban periphery has undergone significant development, resulting in a diverse range of urban typologies and mixed functions. This rich and ongoing transformation has created a considerable number of neglected and underutilised spaces. Often due to their unusual spatial conditions, limited dimensions or outdated building regulations, these spaces are today left untouched and unloved, seen as natural and inevitable by-products of urban development.
Considering contemporary challenges such as densification, Alberto Roncelli explores the potential of these spaces as key components of resilient development. Part of the Nordvest neighbourhood in Copenhagen has been selected as a pilot area and used as a case study for mapping and design exploration.

CAFx is hosting this year's LINA conference. Bringing together 32 LINA members, 28 featured emerging talents, and keynote speakers Keller Easterling, Camilla Van Deurs, Phil Ayres, and Nick Axel.
The event is free with registration. Sign up via the ticket link on this page.
Humanity vastly exceeds our planetary boundaries: how we inhabit our planet is due for an immediate and radical change. In this environmental emergency, architects are called to take the lead. The contemporary city is the focal site where architecture should tackle environmental sustainability issues. Most buildings in Europe are found in urban settlements, where more than 70% of the EU population resides, even though adequate housing is increasingly outside the reach of those without generational wealth. Our cities, which were tailored to the production processes of the past, are eating up the majority of global resources while becoming emblems of social inequality.
Can we transform contemporary urbanity into a sustainable, post-extractivist metropolitan area? How can we encourage the shift from building to renovating? How can we organise our cities around sustainable mobility and efficient food supply? Can we intervene in the infrastructure that supports our excessive way of living and gear it up for processes of de-growth? The LINA community—an alliance of architectural organisations and emerging professionals and thinkers—wonders: Can we create more resilient cities focused on de-growth?
The 2023 LINA Conference will bring together 32 members and 28 featured emerging talents — LINA fellows — along with local and international keynote speakers — Keller Easterling, Camilla Van Deurs, Phil Ayres, Nick Axel. An opportunity to connect and catch up with the most topical conversations in architecture, the 2-day conference will present novel visions for the city that aspire to bring about more liveable futures.

This is a generation that must grapple with a range of urgent problems currently facing the country, including a declining, greying population; an emptying countryside; the proliferation of vacant houses across the nation; profit-driven urban development, mostly without the involvement of architects; a stagnant economy; and, of course, the global climate crisis.

Turning their marginalised position into a strength, they are developing a range of critical, ecological, and social practices that creatively "make do" – with limited resources, with found materials, or with existing spaces. In contrast to the clean lines and minimalist spaces most recently associated with contemporary Japanese architecture, these projects pursue a decidedly different aesthetic politics that is unafraid to leave things rough around the edges. Whether working from the periphery, exploiting gaps in the system, or occupying roles in the process that have previously been overlooked, these practitioners are articulating a new architectural agency that radically departs from the traditional image of the architect-author.
Anything but a marginal phenomenon, these approaches coming out of Japan today hold crucial relevance for a world that is coming to terms with a future beyond a paradigm of constant growth. These projects demonstrate that to “make do” by no means signalises a lack; rather, they make us realise the creative flourishing that follows when we recognize that what we have is already more than enough.
Curated by Yuma Shinohara, ‘Make Do with Now’ is an exhibition traveling from the S AM Swiss Architecture Museum, which is now being presented in an adapted version at CAFx. From street level, you can experience five Japanese practices and the context they operate in. Inside, we broaden the topic with 20 experimental projects from Japan, and two projects from Denmark by Pihlmann Architects, one being the actual exhibition space itself, the other being a project under-construction at Thoravej in Copenhagen NV.
This section presents the work and thinking of five young architecture practices working in Japan today, each embodying a distinct approach to the question of the architect’s role in society: Mio Tsuneyama and Fuminori Nousaku, 403architecture [dajiba], CHAr, tomito architecture, and dot architects. Here, the focus is on process and approach: what are young architects in Japan thinking as they design? How do they work, and where? And what alternative visions of what architecture can be – and do – might come into view as we observe their work? The profiles unite photographs, films, drawings, and other materials from the offices to provide holistic portraits of their process. In a series of video portraits developed with Studio GROSS (Anne Gross and Sebastian Gross) for this exhibition, the architects explain their thinking in their own words.
This section presents twenty representative projects, all started or completed in the last five years. Diverse in both scale and program, the selection aims to provide an x-ray scan of contemporary architectural production in Japan and shows that it is difficult to reduce the various attitudes and concerns of this generation of architects to a single issue. Rather, the image that emerges is that of a generation engaged in a search for new models of architectural engagement in an effort to articulate an adequate response to the challenges facing the profession and society at large today. Nonetheless, it is possible to identify certain interests and tendencies among the featured projects, and six themes are used for for navigating this new architectural landscape: Architecture as Transformation, The Architect on Display, From Building to City, Alt-Architect, Main Street is Quite All Right, and Material Histories.
This part features projects by:
GROUP, Masaaki Iwamoto / ICADA, Ishimura + Neichi, Norihisa Kawashima / Nori Architects, Chie Konno / t e c o, Lunch! Architects, Murayama + Kato Architecture / mtka, Fuminori Nousaku Architects, Jumpei Nousaku Architects, Shun Takagi / Root A, Rui Itasaka / RUI Architects, Studio GROSS, SSK, Keigo Kawai / TAB, Tsubame Architects, Shigenori Uoya, VUILD, Suzuko Yamada, Maki Yoshimura / MYAO
For the last part of the exhibition we are panning the view towards the local context with a look at two projects by Pihlmann Architects that take on a similar ethos: Halmtorvet 27, the place of the exhibition, was recently transformed from a bank into a flexible office- and exhibition space with materials extracted from the building itself. The idea of turning the inside out is continued in the spatial layout where excess building components are repurposed as exhibition displays in various ways. At Thoravej the transformation is still in the making: A film by Hampus Berndtson shows the search for the new in the old, revealing hidden potentials in un-loved architecture, when an anonymous office building makes way for a new art centre.
Team behind Make Do With Now: Curator: Yuma Shinohara, Films: Studio GROSS, Photography: Go Itami, Scenography: Yusuke Seki, Exhibition Graphic Design: 75W / Tilmann S. Wendelstein. For the danish adaption: Photography: Hampus Berndtson.

CAFx invites you to the opening of the exhibition Make Do with Now: New Directions in Japanese Architecture with drinks and introductions by the curators from Swiss Architecture Museum.
We are proud to present our local version of S AM Swiss Architecture Museum's brilliant exhibition in Basel, introducing the thinking and practices of a new generation of Japanese architects and urbanists that creatively “make do” with limited resources, with found materials, or with existing spaces.
Make Do With Now introduces the thinking and projects of a new generation of architects and urban practitioners working in Japan today. Born between the mid-1970s and mid-1990s, the architects featured in the exhibition largely entered professional practice following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima nuclear disaster.

The exhibition both challenges Western stereotypes of Japanese architecture and invites us to learn from Japan in new ways and includes examples of new Danish architecture in line with the Japanese ‘renovation generation’.
First, CAFx’ director Josephine Michau will welcome you to Copenhagen Architecture Festival’s localities in a radically transformed bank building on Halmtorvet 27, adding a ‘meta layer’ to the content of the exhibition. Then, the curator, Yuma Shinohara, and the director of Swiss Architecture in Basel, Andreas Ruby, will give an introduction to the exhibition and its background. Lastly, you will have the chance to see the exhibition and grab a drink with your friends and colleagues.
Free of charge - just come! Free drinks are served.

Vi fejrer Arkitekturens Dag og lanceringen af årets bygningspræmiering med en kavalkade gennem bygningspræmieringens forgrenede historie. Siden 1903 har Københavns Kommune præmieret bygninger, der i særlig grad har formået at fremme kvaliteten af byens fysiske rammer og arkitektur. Hensigten er at rette opmærksomheden imod særligt vellykkede byggerier for at anerkende indsatsen fra arkitekter og bygherrer, der bidrager til at skabe en god by.
Men hvad sker der når perspektivet løftes fra det enkelte års nye præmieringer til et samlet blik på de seneste 120 år? Det vil vi undersøge med tre garvede iagttagere af byen og dens arkitektur: Hvilke tendenser har været dominerende til hvilke tider? Kan politiske eller stilmæssige præferencer lokaliseres i udpegningerne? Og hvilke bygninger er uretfærdigt blevet overset? Hvorfor er signifikante projekter som Grundtvigskirken, Bellahøjbadet, Nationalbanken eller Havnebadet ved Islands Brygge fx aldrig blevet præmieret? Hvilke værdier og kriterier styrer udvælgelsen? Det er nogle af diskussionerne, der tages op under denne eftermiddag i bygningspræmieringens tegn som en retrospektiv kavalkade gennem årtierne, hvor panelet også tager de kontrafaktiske ”what if…?” briller på.

Learn about the ambitions of the architecture and planning studio Rural Agency to reuse the rural past for the rural future.
The architectural imagination of the 20th century has predominantly emphasized the transformative potential of urban environments. Yet, the urgency of the ongoing ecological crisis necessitates a structural reconsideration of the rural landscape.
This event, part of GRASP 2023, encourages you to reimagine the countryside through a regenerative lens, highlighting the deep entanglements of food, belonging, and biological diversity. Hear the architectural studio Rural Agency challenge the dogmas of rural planning and partake in the conversation on the future of the countryside.
Let's together unleash our imagination in the rural landscape! Let’s reintroduce the rural as utopian topos! Let’s reorganize the way we live, work, and produce in the countryside!
The presentation is part of the 10 Dogmas event series, organized by the Copenhagen Architecture Festival and made possible thanks to the generous financial support from Velux.
Speakers:
Anna Sofie Hvid, Founder, MA Research Architecture, BA Philosoph
Josephine Nørtoft Saaby, Co-founder, Architect MAA

How a remarkable project from 1980 serves as a thriving recreational landscape while also supporting biodiversity, bird life, and various habitats.
The event is an excursion to The Beach Park in Køge Bay, which is a nature-based coastal protection project from 1980 located south of Copenhagen in Denmark.
The Beach Park in Køge Bay is composed of two human-made barrier islands protecting the hinterland against flooding. It is one of the very few examples of a realized nature-based climate adapted coastal landscape in a Danish context. The Beach Park, which is seven kilometres long, was the largest coastal embankment in northern Europe of its time. Today the Beach Park functions as an important recreational landscape, which further supports biodiversity, bird life and various habitats.
Following the guided tour to The Beach Park in Køge Bay we will visit an exhibition and attend an international panel debate on nature-based solutions and coastal landscapes at CAFx in central Copenhagen.
Organisers
The event is organized by architect and professor Gertrud Jørgensen, urban planner and associate professor Ole Fryd and landscape architect and assistant professor Anna Aslaug Lund from University of Copenhagen. The event is coordinated in close collaboration with Aarhus School of Architecture and the Technical University of Denmark.
As background information, the organisers have published this paper on the Beach Park in Køge Bay.

How can architecture contribute to social and environmental change? CAFx invites researchers and practitioners that took part in the International Manifesto Relay on stage to respond to the most urgent question in the field
We believe this participatory form of communication that reaches across positions, perspectives and geographies is necessary for the ongoing process of collective formulations of architecture’s contribution to the fulfillment of the UN SDGs. We really love the expansion of the collective approach of the Manifesto Relay, bridging across industry and research, and we are certain that it will present a powerful call for action and unison.
- Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen and Martin Tamke, the UIA Scientific Committee
Copenhagen Architecture Festival (CAFx) invites you to join a conversation around the International Manifesto Relay, a provocative collection of 45 manifestos from around the world responding to the central question of the UIA2023CPH: How Can Architecture Contribute To Social And Environmental Change?
The International Manifesto Relay encourages us to rethink the role of the architect in the scope of environmental, economic and technological transformations on a global scale, to reflect on the means currently available to become drivers of change. It mobilizes our field to embrace the lived experiences of urban and rural communities, but also to speculate on what a sustainable future for the planet looks like, and to declare how architects will contribute to achieving it.
A powerful tool to put forth ideas, commitments, agendas, visions for a better architecture, from Malaysia to Mauritius, from Portugal to Japan, the manifestos function as a starting point for a topical discussion on the use of language within the architectural discipline, specifically on the meaning, power, and limitations of the key vocabulary used in architecture today.
The plenary debate will engage the researchers and practitioners that contributed to International Manifesto Relay and the panel comprising Martha Thorne, author of the International Manifesto Relay's preface, and the Chairs of the UIA2023CPH's Research Panels, authors of the publication's six introductory texts. The session is opened by Josephine Michau, founder and director of Copenhagen Architecture Festival, and moderated by Federica Sofia Zambeletti, founder and creative director of KoozArch.
Attendance requires a ticket for the UIA2023CPH World Congress.

Enjoy a July evening at Cinemateket's air-conditioned refuge with free drinks, John Houston’s Moby Dick and an introduction on the poetic history of the ocean.
Copenhagen Architecture Festival, in partnership with the Fundació Mies van der Rohe, is presenting a series of three film screenings in the iconic Mies Van Der Rohe Pavilion in Barcelona. These screenings will explore the aesthetics, politics and mythologies of water systems, wetlands and aquatic landscapes and will take place over the next three months.
The series will commence with a simultaneous screening held at both the Cinemateket in Copenhagen and the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion in Barcelona. The featured film for this screening is John Huston's cinematic interpretation of Herman Melville's profound oceanic myth 'Moby Dick'; a sensory cornucopia about humanity's insatiable desire for control over nature, even in the face of inevitable failure and self-destruction.
The film will be introduced by Professor Søren Frank, an expert in comparative literature, renowned author of "A Poetic History of the Oceans," Chair of the advisory board for the Hans Christian Andersen Literature Award, and a highly knowledgeable scholar in maritime literature and culture. Professor Frank's introduction will focus on the Moby Dick myth within a broader historical and philosophical framework, exploring the deep entanglements between habitation, storytelling, and the oceanic realm.
Drinks will be served before the screening.

Byen, der forsvandt/The city that disappeared. En installation af fotograf Finn Larsen.
På et konkret og sanseligt grundlag får man adgang til et anderledes og komplekst overblik over forandringer i bylandskaber i en periode, hvor byerne og bilerne har lagt beslag på en stadig voksende del af verdens landskaber.
MOCKUP er baseret på fotografisk materiale fra en dansk provinsby, dels egenproduceret og dels indsamlet.
Det er blevet til et komplekst, visuelt forandringsarkiv, hvor mange forskellige aspekter af de sidste 80 års ændringer i et bylandskab går i dialog med hinanden.
Udgangs- og omdrejningspunktet er Finn Larsens egne undersøgelser af byen fra andre vinkler end de gængse, og fra vandrerens perspektiv, dels i slutningen af 80'erne og dels i 2020-23.
Der indgår i øvrigt bl.a. fotografier af teknisk assistent Werner Livoni fra 40'erne til 70'erne, luftfotografier af Sylvest Jensen fra 50'erne, elementer af en udstilling og et lysbilledprogram fra
slutningen af 70'erne, som Finn Larsen var involveret i, samt bystyrets fremtidsvisioner for byen.

Six experiments using architectural critique as a generator of form.
(EN) Architecture critics from Sweden, Norway, and Denmark write critiques of fictional works of architecture. The critical reflection departures in the critics’ own dreams and imagination. The written critiques are handed over to six designers from the three countries who generate form through model and drawing based on the critique. The written critique and the graphic and spatial design representations are presented together in the exhibition.
The supposition behind Damn critics! is that good architecture requires good criticism. Which paths are to be pursued in order to revitalize critical practices within the architectural discipline? What role should architectural criticism play in the future? Under which conditions should criticism and the critics function? And could we establish a common architectural criticism for the Nordic countries? Through experiments placing criticism at the center of investigation, we wish to create an arena for the discussion of these questions. At this moment in time, where architectural criticism is widely considered as a depleted discipline, this project is at once a celebration of criticism and a curious inquiry into its future.
Like many other artistic disciplines, architecture is faced with a number of challenges regarding the shared conversation within the discipline. The critics’ authority is being called into question. Public discussion is strained by endless fora for particular agendas. Internally, the discipline is characterized by a lack of established criteria for the evaluation of architecture. The importance of context, user participation, material qualities, and energy consumption is much disputed. Whether architecture has become a billboard for the promotion of developers or whether nostalgia is taking over the image. The discipline appears to be subdivided into discursive echo chambers that rarely cross paths to reveal ideological differences.
A transformed media landscape has changed the conditions for constructing an architectural frame of reference. Popular websites present an endless stream of architecture projects devoid of critical reflection. Self-published, self-glorifying books released by architecture studios are available at professional book shops as well as in sophisticated clothing shops. There seems to be an infinite number of architecture awards from commercial actors. As the publicly available landscape of architecture continues to grow, it seems still more difficult to locate proper criticism.
In the shortcomings of the architectural criticism, a number of questions arise: How can we practice architecture without discussing its quality and value? How do we determine what concepts to refine and what buildings we would not repeat? What is the relationship between the built and the written in architecture as a cultural institution? Who defines the discipline of architecture and its presentation in history?
This is the territory Damn critics! is stepping into and what the experiment aims to qualify.

(DA) I JÄVLA KRITIKER!s seks eksperimenter har arkitekturkritikere fra Sverige, Norge og Danmark skrevet kritikker af fiktive værker. Kritikernes idéverden og forestillingsevne er udgangspunkt for den kritiske betragtning. De skriftlige kritikker overleveres til seks formgivende arkitekter fra de tre lande, som giver form til det kritiserede værk. Resultatet er seks værker – opstået imellem kritik og formgivning.
Eksperimenternes omvendte kronologi kaster en række spørgsmål af sig. Har kritikerne følt arkitekternes formgivning som et overgreb på deres skrevne forestilling? Har formgiverne følt kritikernes beskrivelser begrænsende? Eller opstår der i det usædvanlige samarbejde nye frugtbare muligheder for udvikling af arkitektur? Det er spørgsmål besøgende inviteres til at reflektere over i udstillingen.
Udstillingens tværnordiske karakter med bidragsydere parret imellem Norge, Danmark og Sverige giver yderligere dimensioner til eksperimentet. Ser arkitekturkritikken ens ud i de tre lande? Kan vi lære hinanden noget? Forstår vi overhovedet hvad hinanden siger? Med en dialog på tværs ønsker projektet at bane vejen for en fælles nordiskkritikkultur. På vandringen igennem Norden har eksperimenterne været udstillet på Rom for Kunst og Arkitektur i Oslo, Färgfabriken i Stockholm og Form/Design Center i Malmö for nu at afslutte sin rejse på galleriet til:værks i København, hvor udstillingen kan ses fra 22. juni til 08 juli 2023.

De oprindelige ventesale på Københavns Hovedbanegård genopstår midlertidigt i en ny futuristisk version, når Drømmekontoret inviterer til samtaler om, hvordan den kollektive transport kan genromantiseres og løftes.
(DA) Udstillingen Perron Ceremoni byder alle og rejsende velkommen i de oprindelige ventesale på Københavns Hovedbanegård som midlertidigt genopstår i en futuristisk version fra d. 15. juni - 9. juli 2023. I salene vil utopiske motiver smelte sammen med hverdagens rum og udfolde de hybrider og ændrede æstetikker, der kan skabe nye drømme om fremtidens kollektive transport.
Den faste udstilling består af mekaniske dioramer med scener ind til fremtidens togrejser designet og skabt af arkitekt Lauge Floris samt bidrag fra andre kunstnere i form af lydværker, tegninger og installationer.
Bidragsydere og samarbejdspartnere inkluderer kunstner- og kuratorgruppen iovermorgen, billedkunstner Maiken Stæhr, organisationen Building Diversity, Kooperativet Flexwerker, fotograf Steffen Poulsen m.fl.
Den offentlige transport har flyttet folk og dannet rammer for poesi, kunst og arkitektur de sidste 175 år. Perron Ceremoni er et projekt, der ikke kun kigger på priser og tider, men skaber motiver af hvordan offentlig transport kan genfortrylles. Danmark er nemlig blevet en bilnation, og før en kulturændring opstår, er der kun et lille håb for en grøn fremtid. Perron Ceremoni skaber drømmebilleder af, hvordan dén kulturændring kan se ud.
Transportformen er under pres og har gennem de seneste årtier tabt status og blevet en skygge af, hvad den kan være. Det sker, mens flere mennesker anskaffer sig biler end tidligere, men også imens stadigt flere skifter flyet ud med toget. Den offentlige transport og omdømme må gentænkes og genromantiseres. Dette så den peger ind i fremtiden, og ikke bliver en nostalgisk parentes. Perron Ceremoni vil både stille spørgsmål og indikere svar, men først og fremmest invitere til samtale.
‘Perron Ceremoni’ af Drømmekontoret er ikke en udstilling i traditionel forstand, da den ikke er et slutprodukt, men en invitation til at samle forskelligartede stemmer og blik på vores fælles offentlige transport.
Udstillingen er en beskrivelse af de hybrider, og nye æstetikker, som kan være med til at gøre den offentlige transport til en del af vores fælles fremtidsbillede.
Drømmekontoret er en fremtidsundersøgelse og en form for tegnestue indrullet i dimensionen mellem virkelighed og utopiske drømmeverdener. Drømmekontoret arbejder uafhængigt og gerne i samarbejde med andre indenfor skriverier, arkitektur og kunst.
Drømmekontoret er skabt af Lauge Floris Larsen, som er uddannet arkitekt MAA på det kongelige akademi i København. Drømmekontoret samarbejder med Anna Norup Lindblad, som har baggrund i etnologi og journalistik.

The fifth chapter in a film & lecture-series with media theorist and curator Jussi Parikka on the political theory of dust and its relation to architecture.
(DA) Støv finder vej overalt og lægger sig på hver en overflade. Det overføres til luften via skorstene og trænger ind i hver en regndråbe. Det bekæmpes og ryddes væk som i en uendelig livsopgave. I denne dokumentarfilm undersøger Hartmut Bitomsky støvets mange former, og forfølger støvets vej til de steder, hvor den møder det mennesker, der kæmper mod det: rengøringsmænd og -kvinder, støvsugerproducenter, husmødre og museumsmedarbejdere. Vi følger botanikere, kunsterne, biologer, filosofier, meteorologer og astronomer, som alle arbejder med forskellige miljø- og sundhedsmæssige konsekvenser af støv. Ved nøje at undersøge et emne, der omgiver os i vores daglige liv, men som vi sjældent er seriøst opmærksomme på, giver Dust os en ny forståelse af de mange måder, hvorpå støv påvirker kroppen, miljøet og kloden.
Filmen introduceres af den finske medieteoretiker og kurator Jussi Parikka, der vil fremlægge hans forskning i relationen mellem støv, medier og arkitektur. Arrangementet er en del af programmet Trivial Matters, der undersøger arkitektoniske materialers æstetik, politik og metafysik. Læs mere om programmet på Cafx.dk.

Kom med på skattejagt for hele familien i Jernbanebyen, hvor de gamle jernbanespor fører jer ud i hemmelige afkroge og ind i fortællinger om kulturhistorien: dem der var, er og kommer til at være i fremtidens nye bydel.
Kom med på skattejagt for hele familien i Jernbanebyen, hvor de gamle jernbanespor fører jer ud i hemmelige afkroge og ind i fortællinger om kulturhistorien, dem der var, er og kommer i fremtidens ny bydel.
Børn og voksne inviteres til at se på byen med nye øjne, når I skal sanse jer gennem Jernbanebyen og lytte efter bydelens stemmer. I skal på jagt efter seglgræshoppen og dens venner, efter glemte togskinner og gemte grønne oaser. For jernbanebyen er et særligt sted. Her ligger sporene af Danmarks første jernbanestrækning, DSB haller fra industrialiseringens indtog står næsten uberørte, Den Gule By charmerer som sin egen lille landsby, murstensfacaderne er groet til ligesom hvor krat og buske vokser vildt. Bistader og insekter er flyttet ind, sammen med flagermus og sjælne planterarter spredt igennem tiden af godsvognene. Og inde bag de 100 år gamle mursten spirer nyt liv. I træladerne og på værkstederne er nye kreative kræfter kommet til og nogle af dem skal du møde på din vej.
Så tag med på opdagelse i Jenbanebyens historiske lag, fra dengang der var havbund til udviklingen af en ny bydel. For der er store forandringer på vej, når der i fremtiden skal bo over 8000 mennesker i Jernbanebyen.
Mødested: Kraftvarmecentralen - Otto Busses Vej 11

To address questions of urban resilience, Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects brings together insightful thought leaders of different scales to take part in a 2-part series of discussions to investigate how our food and waste systems influence our daily experiences and affect our collective future. The event is free with registration.
At this seminar we will examine the dramatic changes in the physical and social fabric of Copenhagen over the last 30-40 years, and what we can learn from them. We will also consider whether values, problems, and methods have changed since the development of Ørestad and Nordhavn, as the new city plan of Jernbanebyen is being cast as a new showcase of ‘sustainable urbanism’ both socially and environmentally.
To shed light on these issues, we have invited two prominent figures in Copenhagen’s urban (re)development, Jens Kramer and Dan Stubbergaard, who will share their experiences and address the question of how to promote an eco-political framework within the field of urban planning. The event is free with registration.
Participate in Vesterbro Lokaludvalg's edition of Copenhagen Picnic with longtable dinner and activities for all ages.

The French office Les Marneurs, known for their high consciousness of environmental issues, challenges the usual way that we work with water and maritime environments in architecture.
The talk is the fourth chapter of a “Next Gen” concept, developed by CAFx and VELUX, where architects of younger offices each select a dogma within mainstream architecture practice and thinking that they want to challenge. This selection then motivates them to tell about why and how they are challenging the so-called dogma and why it is necessary to renew the architecture profession. Over the year, we will invite ten younger Danish and international architectural studios challenging the status quo in architecture practice and pushing the boundaries towards a more regenerative methodology.
Les Marneurs is an architecture, landscape and urban planning office co-founded in 2019 by Antonin Amiot, Geoffrey Clamour and Julien Romane. Combining a landscape designer and two architects, the office is built on experiences and backgrounds from La Rochelle, Rotterdam, Geneva and Brussels.
Based in Paris and Brussels, the young agency Les Marneurs carries out architectural projects on various scales. The name 'Les Marneurs' first embodies their meeting at the School of Architecture of the City & Territories of Paris-Est (Marne-la-Vallée). This reference also reflects their desire to anchor the project in the field, in its relationship to the ground.
By associating a landscape architect and two architects, the agency relies on very varied backgrounds and experiences. Their approach integrates the issues related to climate change at all stages of the design: from the consideration of resources (soil, water, energy, living, construction methods) and risks (urban heat islands, drought, flooding, submersion navy, etc.), from the construction of a common story to the modes of management and implementation of projects.
The event is kindly supported by L'Institut Français.

Do you want to get a taste of wild nature in the city? Urban foraging trip at Sydhavnstippen with Maria Natascha Koustrup Larsen, also known as 'Den hurtige sanker'.
Do you want to experience wild nature in the city? Not only experience it, but also taste it? Then join the urban foraging trip at CAFX at Sydhavnstippen on June 11th from 12-14. The foraging trip will be facilitated by Maria Natascha Koustrup Larsen, also known as 'Den hurtige sanker'.
On this trip you will get to know some of the tasty herbs, flowers and berries nature has to offer. In June there’s an abundance of delicious and beautiful plants, and on this day, you’ll get to know the do’s and don’ts, what to look for, what plants are edible and how you use it. We will hunt for plants such as horseradish, Mirabelle, yarrow and much more.
As a city dweller nature can feel like something you have to go far away to experience, but you don’t have to go out of the city to experience local ecologies and find flavorful resources. Learning how to utilize the nature we live in and next to in a sustainable way, only makes us closer to it – and by doing so, taking better care of it. Get inspired to go ‘shopping’ for food in nature in the future and get to know how you can utilize wild food in your own kitchen. We’ll end the trip with a small tasting of the plants that we find.
Maria has been facilitating foraging workshops since 2018 and has among other events hosted ‘Wild Drinks’ workshops at Roskilde Festival. Her aim is to heighten our connection with nature through experiences by making foraging accessible to all, no matter your background or interest in nature with a careful approach. As a native Copenhagener it is an important part of her practice to show others how to take care of and use the nature in and around Copenhagen.
Important:
We will meet at Sydhavns Genbrugscenter, Bådhavnsgade 50, 2450 Kbh SV
Wear practical clothing and shoes
Bring a cup and water
Bring something to forage in a preferably a scissor or knife

Join us in a conversation to address questions of urban resilience. Through the lens of food and waste systems, we explore how they influence our daily experiences and affect our collective future.
In this discussion we challenge two basic precepts of urban planning that underpin the dichotomy between city and countryside - one as a site of consumption, the other as a site for industrialized food production - yet we are concealed from the waste in both places.
To address questions of urban resilience, we bring together insightful thought leaders of different scales to take part in a 2-part series of discussions to investigate how our food and waste systems influence our daily experiences and affect our collective future.
This event marks the launch of a series of discussions hosted by CAFx, Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects and Roskilde Festival, in partnership with BloxHub, where we share insights from our recent publication to offer value propositions of future potential aimed towards cultural and political change in urban food systems.
SHL explores the city as a resource organism, the history of cities and their relationship with food and resources. How might we better understand the extractive relationship between cities and countryside, and how could we redress it to create self-sufficiency and regeneration?
SHL examines the circular economy from a food and nutrient perspective. A study published by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation revealed that cities only return 2% of the nutrients they extract from agriculture to the countryside. How might we reverse these trends by redefining the potentials and opportunities in ‘waste’?

An exploration into the architecture, biology, cosmology, and metaphysics of origami with François-Xavier Vives' 'The Origami Code'.
Everything that develops and changes in nature is folded: mountains, blossoms, the brain. Life is an unending series of folding and unfolding. It’s the most economical and efficient process in the natural world.
And it is not only design. Folding determines also function. Today researchers in robotics, medicine, biology, nanotechnologies, are embracing this “origami philosophy”. They are looking at how materials and molecules wrinkle, drape, flex and crease, refining origami techniques, and trying better to understand and duplicate nature’s universal folding principles.
The Origami Code explores this silent deciphering and mastering of a completely new dimension of reality. The film explores how the ancient art of folding paper has entered the cutting-edge domains of research and now could lead the way to the ultimate stage in bionics.

UKK Art Workers with Disabilities invites you to preview work from their growing project to map their access to the art sector, with an artist talk by Victor Vejle on the subject.
For our able-bodied peers it is often difficult to fully comprehend the limitations inaccessibility places on our use of space, while we may live in the same urban environments, the livable space that is available to all is a small fraction of what it should be. For us with disabilities within the art field, this environment of inaccessibility cuts us off from vital resources and opportunities necessary for success in our chosen careers.

The collective TUSCA7 of artists, architects, and researchers affiliated with TU-Berlin will challenge the way materials and waste are used in 'traditional' architecture practice, advocating for local compost systems.
Taking their site specific compost installation “Compost Canteen”, realised for CAFx in Jernbanebyen, with Banegaarden and the local Steiner School as a point of departure, the collective TUSCA7 will introduce a radical rethinking of the way we are usually treating not only resources and waste, but also gardening and food production/consumption. The TU-Berlin affiliated group advocates for a more holistic design thinking and a more circular economy.
The talk is part III of a “Next Gen” concept, developed by CAFx and VELUX, where architects of younger offices each select a dogma within mainstream architecture practice and thinking that they want to challenge.

Experience an immersive installation at Sydhavn Theatre that explores the habitat of mealworms and their ability to digest styrofoam, raising questions about our relationship with consumption, nourishment, and consumerism.
x4a_lab and ST:ART present WORMS OF MASS CONSUMPTION. An immersive installation at Sydhavn Theatre, that explores the habitat of mealworms and their ability to digest styrofoam, raising questions about our relationship with consumption, nourishment, and consumerism.
The human-scale worm habitat of WMC captures the motion of the worm, forcing us to travel in the space left behind as we follow the twists and turns of digested tunnels, adapting both physically and symbolically. The installation presents the residual landscape of consumerism, a sea of plastic consumables, and highlights the negative space created by the consumption of our own plastic waste.
Our future depends upon the ability of our species to adapt to a rapidly changing and increasingly extreme environment. The art of living in an ecosystem out of balance demands a collaboration with nature itself, with other species, with new technologies. WMC is an exploration on this theme, how can the mealworms shape us and the spaces we inhabit?
x4a_lab invites you to visit their open lab and exhibition WORMS OF MASS CONSUMPTION to gain insight into their work and experience a reimagining of our relationship with the built environment.
The project is formed in collaboration between x4a_lab, a design laboratory, founded by Architects, Pavels Liepins-Hedström, Elliott Andrew and Magnus Nilsson and ST:ART, a volunteer driven cross-disciplinary platform for artistic development under Sydhavn Theatre. Supported by Sharing Copenhagen m.m.

Til denne særvisning får Jean Painlevés zoologiske surrealisme nyt liv med et musikalsk live-akkompagnement af Felia Gram-Hanssen, kunstner og trommeslager i den danske eksperimentalrocktrio Thulebasen.
Før Jacques-Yves Cousteau var der Jean Painlevé, en banebrydende fransk naturfilmskaber og ekspert i undervandsfauna med et surrealistisk blik. Med et godt øje for det mystiske og uventede fangede Painlevé og hans assistent Geneviève Hamon en drømmeagtig blæksprutte, metamorfe krebsdyr, erotiske søheste, mytiske vampyrflagermus og umættelige rovdyrinsekter. Det blev til mere end to hundrede filmstudier af de langt-mere-end-menneskelige dyr og deres forundrende livsverdener. Det bliver en eftermiddag om den kunstneriske omfavnelse af naturens fremmedartethed og dens kuriøse ufattelighed.

Gående samtale med ‘urban hortoculturalist’ Morten Leicht Jeppsen og billedkunstner Camilla Berner, som gør os klogere på visionen om at skabe en ny type bynatur med afsæt i Jernbanebyens selvgroede natur.
Kom med på en gående samtale, hvor vi bliver klogere på visionen om at skabe en ny type bynatur med afsæt Jernbanebyens særlige kultur- og banenatur - vi stiller spørgsmålet om hvordan kan vi integrere stedets selvgroede natur, historie og kultur med fremtidens behov for en bynatur der også skal rumme tekniske løsninger på de hyppigere vandmængder, manglende insekter mm. og samtidig skabe grønne åndehuller med fokus på den sociale merværdi.
Bynatur er en fælles betegnelse, der dækker over alle levende væsner og vækster i byen. Bynaturen findes over alt i byen - i naturområder, søer og vandløb, havne, parker, kirkegårde, på vores tage og i vores by- og gaderum.
Bynaturen bliver ofte fremhævet som løftestang og løsning på mange af de foruroligende billeder FN’s klimapanel tegner i disse år. Men bynatur er andet og mere end tekniske løsninger på de hyppigere vandmængder, manglende insekter og dalende biodiversitet. Bynaturen bidrager også til social inklusion, møder på tværs og generel livskvalitet. Vores oplevelse af lykke og velvære stiger for hver meter kortere der er til både park og kyst.
Bynaturen er også kunst, stressreducerende og skal opfordre til en sund og aktiv livsstil. Med andre ord, er der er mange forventninger til bynaturen også den der skal opstå i fremtidens Jernbaneby.
Gæster:
Morten Leicht Jeppsen, Urban Horticulturalister og indehaver af Metropolitan Metaculture. Leicht er landskabsarkitekten for Jernbanebyens helhedsplan og vil fortælle om det store forarbejde og kortlægningen af den eksisterende natur, samt hvordan dette skal udvikles og tilpasses side om side med at en ny bydel skyder op.
Camilla Berner arbejder inden for det tværfaglige kunst- og naturvidenskabelige felt og væver sin viden om og interesse for planter, landskaber og natur ind i sin kunstneriske praksis. Berner undersøger det komplekse forhold mellem natur og kultur og udfordrer vores opfattelse af de to: Hvor går grænsen, hvis der er en? Er det muligt, og er det klogt at se på natur og kultur som to adskilte kategorier, når de er spundet ind og forbundne med hinanden?
Mødested: Otto Busses Vej 90, for enden af tunnelen inde i Jernbanebyen på hjørnet af Den Gule By og portnerboligen.

Meet the well-known architecture and research collective Rotor from Brussels in conversation with architect Søren Pihlmann and permaculture designer Skye Jin.
Permaculture is a holistic design philosophy that seeks to create regenerative human habitats by integrating natural systems and human cultivation. By adopting permaculture principles, designers, and architects can create complex and evolving systems that prioritise ecological health, diversity, and resilience.
In the third chapter of the seminar series, we will delve into the ways in which permaculture principles can inspire innovative approaches to architecture. Our discussion will cover topics such as upcycling resources, circular systems, self-regulation, and transformation, as well as the principle of the smallest possible intervention.
For this we have assembled a diverse panel of experts, including the acclaimed Brussels-based research and architecture collective, Rotor, renowned architect Søren Pihlmann, and visual artist and permaculture designer, Skye Jin. Through this exploration, we hope to showcase the potential of permaculture to shape the future of architectural design.
We will finish the day off with drinks sur l ́herbe.

Som en del af KLANG-festival 2023 kan komponisten Iannis Xenakis’ slagtøjsværk, det epokegørende og sjældent opførte Persephassa, opleves i Den Kongelige Operas store foyer.
Æren af at være hele verdens arkitekturhovedstad tilfalder i år København. Der findes næppe en bedre lejlighed til at opføre et af komponisten, arkitekten, matematikeren, musikteoretikeren og computermusikpioneren Iannis Xenakis' allermest arkitektoniske værker: Det epokegørende og sjældent opførte slagtøjsværk Persephassa (1969), der hermed uropføres i København. Og der findes næppe et bedre sted at gøre det ind i foyeren til Henning Larsens ikoniske, neo-futuristiske Operahus.
Her vil den Taiwanesiske slagtøjsvirtuos Ying-Hsueh Chen, der står bag koncertprojektet Ancestral Modernism, og perkussionister fra Det Kongelige Teater opfører Xenakis' værk – et værk, der, ved at bygge bro mellem musikken og arkitekturen, bliver til et pludseligt aktuelt gesamtkunstwerk.

An exploration of the relationship between contemporary architecture practice and climate activism with the French architectural studio Les Marneurs and climate activist Esther Kjeldahl.
The architecture of the 1990s and 2000s was arguably characterised by a severe subordination with architects relenting to the needs of the client, turning architecture into a nonpartisan servant of market forces. Yet, as architecture seems to be in the process of developing a clearer understanding of its normative foundation, one can discern a distinct schism from this instrumentalist paradigm among the new generations of architects.
The second chapter of the seminar series will focus on this re-politicisation of architecture with a particular focus on identifying the responsibilities of architects and exploring pathways towards a more climate-conscious architectural paradigm. We will examine how practitioners in the field can take significant measures to facilitate a renewed equilibrium and solidarity between humans and more-than-human species, while also considering how a renewed engagement with ethical reasoning might reshape the relationship between architecture and climate activism.

The event is a collaboration between CAFx, L’Institut Francais and Velux.

Join us for the fourth instalment of a film-and-lecture-series on the metaphysics, politics, and aesthetics of architecture-related materials, featuring Agnès Varda's documentary 'The Gleaners and I' and a talk by architect Sandra Bartoli on the intricate history of waste management practices.
'The Gleaners and I' is a captivating documentary that takes us on a profound exploration of gleaning, ranging from those who collect leftover crops in fields after harvest to individuals who meticulously search through the dumpsters of Paris.
Through this film, we delve into the fascinating phenomenon of gleaning, which embraces a rich tapestry of interests, diverse life forms, and cultural situations. This intimate and adventurous documentary sheds light on the experiences of both those who engage in gleaning out of necessity and a Michelin chef who derives aesthetic pleasure from this practice.
The screening of the film will be preceded by an introduction from the esteemed architect and researcher, Sandra Bartoli.

Om indsatsen 4til1 planet
4til1 planet har med konkurrencen “Next Generation Architecture” udpeget 3 vinderforslag, som i pavillonform fremviser klimavenligt boligbyggeri med ressourceforbrug i respekt for planetens planetære grænser.
Udstillingsområdet og de tre pavilloner baserer sig på innovative byggeløsninger og fremviser koncepter og tilgange til at reducerer klimaaftrykket fra nybyggede boliger med 75%. En grøn park af bl.a. upcyclede materialer binder området sammen, og danner ramme om en udstilling om klimavenlige byggematerialer og metoder gennem tiden samt baggrundsinfo om indsatsen ”Boligbyggeri fra 4 til 1 planet”.
Målet med initiativet Boligbyggeri fra 4 til 1 planet er at skabe bæredygtige nye boliger med respekt for de ressourcer, vi har til rådighed på vores planet. Initiativet er sat i værk af Realdania og VILLUM FONDEN, som i alle dele af processen vil aktivere bygherrer, arkitekter, ingeniører, entreprenører, forskere og ideudviklere med det absolutte fælles mål at reducere byggeriets CO2-aftryk.
Med udgangspunkt i et biocenter, der skal øge sundheden i slumkvarteret Kinawataka i Uganda, har Arkitekter uden Grænser designet en pavillon med et usædvanligt omdrejningspunkt – nemlig toilettet.
Arkitekter Uden Grænser er en humanitær organisation, der arbejder for at skabe udvikling med arkitektur og planlægning som redskaber. Formålet er at støtte udsatte og fattige befolkningsgrupper ved at skabe arkitektfaglige udviklingsprojekter, samt arbejde med at forbedre jordrettigheder i slumkvarterer og uformelle bosættelser. Organisationen arbejder for at give alle mennesker adgang til anstændige boligforhold og levevilkår.

Besøg Rural Agency: en unik tegnestue og NGO på landet, hvor arkitektur, biodynamisk landbrug, produktion og læring finder sted. Her udvikles og praktiseres fremtidens rurale livsformer.
BEMÆRK: ARRANGEMENTET ER UDSKUDT - DATO PÅ VEJ
Oplev Rural Agency, en NGO og tegnestue, der arbejder med det rurale rum og fremtidens livsformer på landet.
Rural Agency er baseret på et landsted på midtsjælland, der også fungerer som biodynamisk landbrug og skole/bosted for unge med særlige behov.
Rural Agency blev startet I 2019 af Anna Sofie Hvid og har siden arbejdet dedikeret med det rurale rum i fysisk planlægning, arkitektur og vidensudvikling.
Både som fysisk landskab og mentalt terræn har “landet” præget udviklingen i Europa på godt og ondt. I dag står vi i midlertid overfor et ruralt paradigmeskifte, for fremtidens landdistrikter skal rumme radikalt anderledes livs- og produktionsformer, hvis vi skal løse samfundets polykriser.
Fra biodiversitetskrise til klimaudfordringer og trivselskrise rummer det rurale rum mange af de efterspurgte løsninger. Men det kræver at vores tilgang til den fysiske planlægning og rumlige opfattelse af landet ændres grundlæggende. Og det kræver at arkitekter og planlæggere vender blikket væk fra byen og det urbane bias, der har præget årtiers fejlslåede tilgang til landdistrikterne.
Som NGO arbejder Rural Agency med afsæt i arkitekturen for en mere divers og symbiotisk fremtid på landet på tværs af humane og non-humane entiteter. I forbindelse med Copenhagen Architecture Festival 2023 inviterer tegnestuen til gårdvandring og diskussionsrunde omkring fremtidens livsformer på landet. Prisen inkluderer transport og traktement fra gårdens produktion.
Arrangeres i samarbejde med ARENA, Architectural Research Network

Challenging a dogma of mainstream architecture, Maarten Gielen founding partner from Rotor (B) will share the office’s pioneering ideas on how to research and practice architecture in a regenerative manner.
The talk is part II of a “Next Gen” concept, developed by CAFx and VELUX, where architects of younger offices each select a dogma within mainstream architecture practice and thinking that they want to challenge. This selection motivates them to tell about why and how they are challenging the so-called dogma and why it is necessary to renew the architecture profession. Over the year, we will invite ten younger Danish and international architectural studios challenging the status quo in architecture practice and pushing the boundaries towards a more regenerative methodology.
Based in Brussels, Rotor is a cooperative design practice that investigates the organisation of the material environment. They develop critical positions through research and design and have among others done the exhibition and book project “Behind the Green Door Architecture and the Desire for Sustainability”. Besides projects in architecture and interior design, Rotor also produces exhibitions, books, economic models and policy proposals and runs Rotor Deconstruction, a cooperative that organises the reuse of construction materials, dismantling, processing and trading salvaged building components.
Rotor will be represented by architect Maarten Gielen, co-founder and partner of Rotor in 2006, where he currently works as a designer, researcher and manager. In the dogma talk Maarten Gielen will address the following question: What if it was as easy for architects to reuse materials as getting new materials?
Rotor’s participation is kindly supported by Hub Brussels.

The most unsuspecting landscapes have the potential to become local biodiversity hotspots. Experience first-hand and learn about how reconciliation ecology has fostered a robust and diverse population of solitary bees.
Architecture has unwittingly provided stable habitats for solitary bees over thousands of years with the use of thatched roofs, mud walls and mortar, but how can architecture provide habitat in the absence of these materials? With a thorough understanding of the biology of solitary bees, Habeetats provides an architectural solution that fosters biodiversity in the most urban and industrial of landscapes: a landfill. On this tour of the largest urban landfill in Greater Copenhagen you will learn what solitary bees are, the architecture of their nests and how details are important for implementing effective and long term biodiversity solutions.
The tour begins and finishes at CAFx Halmtorvet 27 from where you will be driven in bus to the site and come back to CAFx Halmtorvet 27.

A 30-minutes journey along the Colorado River to the US-Mexico border wall; Images and music creating an insight into the human and climatic consequences that the geopolitics between the USA and South America entails.
Cisternerne, Art Week, Copenhagen Architecture Festival and Art Hub Copenhagen invite you to a special screening of the film work Liquid Light by visual artists Javier Tapia (Chile/Denmark) and Camilo Ontiveros (Mexico/USA). Javier Tapia is currently part of Art Hub Copenhagen’s residency program.
For 30 minutes Liquid Light takes the audience on a journey along the Colorado River to the US-Mexico border wall. Through images and music, the story is told in a poetic imagery that crumbles along the way creating an insight into the human and climatic consequences that the geopolitics between the USA and South America entails.
The screening takes place in Cisternerne – the special athmosphere, the architecture and climate here creates a unique setting for the viewing and echos the film’s narrative and the message about the importance of water and, not least, access to water.
For the screening including an artist talk in Danish on 9 June at 19.00, you can buy your ticket here
For the screening on 9 June at 20.00, you can buy your ticket here
For the screening on 10 June at 19.00, you can buy your ticket here
For the screening on 10 June at 19.45, you can buy your ticket here
The Ticket gives you access to both the event and the current exhibition at Cisternerne Kimsooja’s Weaving the Light.
Water and its beauty plays the main part in the film work; water is a necessary source of life, but this necessity also constitutes a fragility. The cinematic journey along the river shows how the water and the river are exploited politically and commercially with major consequences for nature and the people who inhabit it.
Join us on this both wondrous and unsettling journey along the Colorado River and experience the architecture and history of Cisternerne brought to life during the screening of Liquid Light.
MORE ON LIQUID LIGHT
The Liquid Light project is originally an installation consisting of both film and sculptures.
The main element in the project is the film work produced in 2019/2020 on a longer research trip to the USA and Mexico. All elements of the installation are intended as direct references to water as a theme, water consumption, climate crisis and geopolitical aspects. Liquid Light was presented for the first time in 2021/22 at the Vincent Price Art Museum and is currently on display at the 2022/23 Mexicali Biennial, Cheech Museum in Riverside, California.
Liquid Light is supported by among others Statens Kunstfond Ford Foundation og Grosserer L.F. Foghts Fond.
ABOUT JAVIER TAPIA
Javier Tapia (b. Chile, 1976) lives and works in Copenhagen. Tapia’s work can be described as a chain of events in continuous expansion. Some aspects of his work comments on problems associated to geopolitics and the function of art in the local and global culture, where identity plays a central role. The use of video, photography, drawing and collage are complementary to each other in the construction of the works. The results are different installation outlooks, where social interaction and materiality are an open destination.

Join an evening of talks and film at Tegnestuefællesskabet Nyvej 16 (TN16), the collective studio of Djernes & Bell, Office Kim Lenschow & Johansen Skovsted Architects.
The film and photographs of the exhibition “From Harvest to House” in TN16 document a cross-disciplinary workshop and seminar of the same name that took place in November 2022.
The project is a collaboration between Djernes & Bell architects, Local Works Studio, Agronomist Janne Dinesen (Høst Skole) and artist Nicholas Brooks, this workshop was the first step into a larger investigation of the relation between agriculture and the built environment. The project was underpinned by a desire for a much closer cross-disciplinary connection between those who work with the land, and those who build on the land and with materials from the land with hopes for a regenerative future. During the workshop farmers, materials specialists, geographers, architects and thatchers partook in an immersive weekend seeking to increase the connection between architecture and agriculture.
Based on this experience and examination, the agronomist Janne Dinesen and architect Justine Bell will give an informal talk about the project and the process with its learnings. The talk will be moderated by the researcher, author and activist Emmy Perez Fjalland. Additionally, a film by artist Nicholas Brooks will be screened as well as photographs by Hampus Berndtson.
The project Harvest to House was generously supported by Statens Kunstfond and hosted by Forening Orbi Vrå (Dinesen x KADK)

Take a look into the intrinsic relationship between resources, materials, and waste – the metabolism of the city – with architect Sandra Bartoli, artist Silvan Linden and the collective TUSCA7.
The event is part of CAFx’ seminar series, 'The Ecological Turn', examining the gradual paradigm shift from a more pragmatic, market-driven architecture towards a more holistic and ‘green’ ecological impulse.
In the first chapter, we will investigate the organic, raw, and metabolic impulse in the contemporary analysis of buildings and cities: the smooth passage of energy, the seamless circulation of waste, and the dynamic operations of microbial colonies. For if modern architecture was recognisable by its austere skin and slender bones, it might indeed be said that the eco- logical turn is distinguishable by its visceral, anatomical language, evoking cell membranes, bowels, and metabolic systems.
To set the stage for this discussion, the architect Sandra Bartoli and the artist Silvan Linden will unfold the modern history of self-sufficient urban gardening, ecological agriculture, and models of waste recycling through a presentation of their collaborative research project “Licht Luft Scheisse”. Subsequently, TUSCA7 will challenge traditional waste management practices through the presentation of local and decentralised composting systems like the one they have built for Banegaarden.
Finally, there will be a joint conversation, offering an opportunity for the audience to engage in the discussion.

Fremtidens arkitektur tages op til debat i UIAs pavillon-udstilling, når Byens Netværk samler de tre teams bag pavillonerne til en samtale om nye boformer og visioner for klimavenligt boligbyggeri.
Byen vågner på Søren Kirkegaards Plads i København til en samtale om nye materialer, livs- og boformer.
Hvordan kan vi tænke fremtidens boligbyggeri, så vi ikke bruger flere ressourcer, end kloden kan bære? Og hvordan kan fremtidige krav til boformer og materialer samtidig åbne for nye boligkvaliteter?
Tre pavilloner på Søren Kierkegaards Plads illustrerer, hvordan klimaaftrykket fra nybyggede boliger kan reduceres med 75 procent. Vi bliver klogere på hvordan, når vi besøger pavillonerne, der er vindere af konkurrencen “Next Generation Architecture” under indsatsen Boligbyggeri fra 4 til 1 planet.
Glæd dig til at opleve fremtidens arkitektur i pavillon-udstillingen og møde de tre vinderteams til en samtale om nye visioner for klimavenligt boligbyggeri, boformer og et ressourceforbrug med respekt for planeten.

Opening night of the site-specific compost installation made by the Berlin-based collective TUSCA7, reusing biomaterial from Banegaarden and involving school children from the local Steiner school.
Join us for the opening night of the compost installation made by the Berlin-based collective Tusca7. Drink a glass of Georgian wine while learn about compost, reuse and architecture.
Regardless of whether one considers the digestion happening in the biogas plants, in our stomachs, or everywhere in nature, we depend on invisible microbes capable of converting and releasing the energy that we need to survive. It is about time that we recognize these diligent little creatures and show them our gratitude. That is why we are opening a restaurant for our microscopic co-citizens at Banegaarden in Jernbanebyen; a place where human Copenhageners already are enjoying the work of bacteria and fungi in the form of well-nourished, organic vegetables and fermented foods.
Throughout June, we will provide facilities so that visitors can participate in preparing a microbial feast from their own leftovers. The recipe and additional ingredients are supplied so come around and show your microbes that you care for them by cooking up the perfect compost.

En stedsspecifik performativ lydvandring med nykomponeret musik af Henriette Groth.
Kom med på en iscenesat lydvandring i rummene mellem Ørestadens høje huse og hen over fælledens åbne vidder.
Inspireret af Ørestads arkitektur er Hidden Spaces en vandring i byrum og natur med et lydspor, som via høretelefoner intensiverer omgivelserne, og fysisk performance, der maler levende billeder af en bydels hverdagsfortællinger. En sanselig undersøgelse af, hvordan byplanlægning, handelsliv og offentlige pladser påvirker måden, vi bruger byen på. Camilla Sarrazins iscenesættelse leder efter de skjulte steder, bringer dem til live og reflekterer over, hvordan livet leves i storbyens allernyeste byrum.
Hidden Spaces er iscenesat af Camila Sarrazin med nykomponeret musik af Henriette Groth.

Oplev teater-hybriden Det Porøse Menneske og kom til pre-talk om udveksling og symbiose mellem menneske, svampehybrid og rum på Vestre Kirkegård med dramatiker og instruktør Vivian Nielsen, scenograf Marie Rosendahl Chemnitz og skuespiller Maria Rich.
Kunstnerisk pre-talk om porøsitet og symbiose mellem menneske, svampehybrid og rum. Oplev derefter teaterhybriden DET PORØSE MENNESKE.
Er bevidsthedsforandring en reel mulighed for oprør mod en verden, der er løbet løbsk i forbrug, konkurrence og oplevelsesindustri?
Teaterhybriden “Det Porøse Menneske” er en opdagelsesrejse ind i hovedpersonen, Alex, bevidsthed. Alex har den særhed, at hun oplever sig selv som halvt menneske, halvt træ. Hun er biolog og iværksætter en laboratorieundersøgelse af sig selv og sin vegetabilske natur.
Gennem lyd og animation synker vi ind i de paralleluniverser hovedpersonen Alex indeholder. Et lydbad skaber er et kontemplativt rum, hvor publikum inviteres til udånding og ro.
Animationerne er en iboende kraft i Alex, en kosmisk civilisationskritik der kommer ud som en spirituel vrede.

With a rare balance of incisive historical inquiry, humorous characterisation and playful cinematography, the filmmaker Theo Anthony explores the rat infestation of the American East Coast city of Baltimore and its surprising political, psychological and scientific roots.
Through Anthony's extensive archival research, a complex historical dynamic is revealed that not only summarises rat control, eugenics and urban development plans, but also draws connections to current racial inequalities and tensions. The film will be introduced by Paul Dobraszczyk, lecturer at The Bartlett School of Architecture and author of the recently published 'Animal Architecture: Beasts, Buildings and Us'.
The event is the third chapter of the 'Anima Urbis' programme, which explores the relationship between animals and humans in the city and perception of the so-called 'trash animals': pigeon, fox, rat and wild dog.

Hvilken betydning har træerne for biotoper, tilpasning og tilhørsforhold? En aften om træernes rolle i naturkriserne, hverdagslivet og kulturhistorien.
BEMÆRK: UDSKUDT TIL EFTERÅRET
Kom med til en aften i træernes tegn. Gennem filmvisning og samtale med arkitekter og eksperter undersøger vi deres betydning for naturkriserne, hverdagslivet og kulturhistorien, idet vi spørger: Hvad skal man gøre med de gamle træer, når der bygges nyt? Hvad betyder flytningen af træer for lokale biotoper? Og hvilken rolle spiller træerne i forhold til vores ideer om tid, tilpasning og tilhørsforhold?
Først blænder vi op for film - Danmarkspremiere på Katy McGahans film “The Happy Man Tree” (2022) om træaktivisme i East End-kvarteret Hackney i London, som dokumenterer hvordan en række borgere modsatte sig fældningen af træer i deres lokalområde.
Derefter vil der være en samtale mellem Nivah Samuel Ancher Hastrup fra Cobe, som er projektleder på landskabsdelen for Jernbanebyen, der står bag planen for den nye bydel Jernbanebyen, og Morten Leicht Jeppsen, urban holtoculturalist og founding partner i Metropolitian Metaculture, der har lavet med konkurrence med COBE i Jernbanebyen og som har lavet naturregistreringer i forbindelse med planlægningen af området. De vil bl.a. komme ind på gamle træer i Jernbanebyen og om træernes betydning for en bæredygtig byudvikling og biodiversitet mere generelt.
Eftermiddagen sluttes af med en samtale om træernes æstetiske og kulturhistoriske betydning i selskab med to arkitektoniske stemmer, der har beskæftiget sig indgående og originalt med træer og deres repræsentationshistorie. Dels arkitekt Ulla Lunn, der er forfatter til den anmelderroste fagbog “Eg” (2022), dels den unge danske arkitektduo Studio Tideland, der gennem 3D-scanningsteknologier dokumenterer biologiske nedbrydningsprocesser i tusind år gamle egetræer.
Samtalen vil blive akkompagneret af Studio Tidelands dokumentariske videoværker.

This one-day seminar will illuminate our understanding of architectural biophilic design and inspire an interdisciplinary debate on nature-inclusive architectural design.
This unique seminar examines architectural and design approaches where interior space acts as an outstanding experience of the phenomenon of Nature. It combines contemporary design practice with scientific perspectives. In line with the implementation of UN's 17 SDG's, the purpose of the course is two fold: to illuminate and enrich the understanding of architectural biophilic design and to stimulate an interdisciplinary dialogue/debate and interest in Nature-inclusive architectural design.
Besides the strong will to improve collaboration between the actors the main goal is not only to disseminate knowledge but to influence architects and designers to phase in nature-connected design and enhance the health and wellbeing of communities through interaction with Nature (Nature Based Solutions).
The program of the seminar is addressed to architects, designers, and BA and MA students who share an interest in the theme of the course as a starting point for critical reflection. The proposed seminar will help attendees to consciously and critically engage with an emergent and relevant theme. It is a timely moment not only due to the relevancy of the topic, its urgent need and its appealing character, but because 2023 Copenhagen will have a leading role in the international architecture and building forum.
Practical Information:
The course will be held at The Royal Danish Academy Architecture Design Conservation, in Holmen on June 8th. It will start at 10.00 and will end by 19.30 at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. The course fee is 350DKK. Coffee and a group dinner will be provided as the seminar programme describes. Participants must cover their own transport and entrance ticket to Louisiana Museum. The course is structured as a dynamic set of activities. It includes a shared learning group workshop - tailored to the interests of the participants - discussions, a lecture and an architectural visit that also includes an immersion in nature.
For one day, the participants will be briefly introduced to relevant literature on the theme of the course and the principles of biophilic design, including different approaches to the understanding of 'nature' and presentation of exemplary nature-connected architectural cases. The participants will articulate their understanding of the texts selected, a lecture and a building visited and will reflect on the different questions that may arise.

(DA) På et rumskib ved navn Valley Forge arbejder fire mænd på at bevare en række store geodomer med plante- og dyreliv, som ikke længere har levedygtige betingelser på Jorden. Men kun botanikeren Lowell er virkelig dedikeret til projektet, og da han får besked om dets forestående nedlukning, myrder han de øvrige besætningsmedlemmer i en egenhændig kamp for at holde naturen i live.
Selvom 'Verden sidste Have' netop er fyldte 51 år, synes den næsten mere relevant end nogen sinde før; en film til en tid, der med etableringen af globale frøbanker allerede forestiller sig et liv efter et fremtidigt økosystemkollaps.
Verden sidste Have er en film for dig, der savner en sci-fi, hvor helten ikke er en frygtløs kriger, men en stille biofil gartner, der kultiverer symbiotiske relationer med både dronerobotter og planteliv.

Join SPACE10 to explore how designers and architects might use AI to challenge past practices and work towards planet-positive living.
How might designers and architects use AI to challenge past practices and work towards planet-positive living? Generative AI tools allow anyone to visualise their ideal homes, products, and cities. By experimenting with these technologies as creative collaborators in the design process, we can collectively and contextually use them to build more sustainable and circular daily lives. To dig deeper into AI's design potential, SPACE10 will host a conversation that challenges past design practices and parameters. We will explore how designers and architects can integrate these tools into their own work, and share recent experiments with oio and Panter&Tourron.

What happens if we simply let the other-than-human speak for itself and influence the development of an old industrial site in Herlev?
(EN) In collaboration with Stedets Væsen (NXT), Building Conversations, and Bybi, we invite you to a roundtable dialogue - a 'Parliament of Birds' - in the old industrial quarter of Herlev, Denmark. The neighbourhood is undergoing a transformation, to become a residential area. In the middle of this transformation, we invite citizens and relevant actors in the construction project, to represent the more-than-human perspective on site.
'The Parliament of Birds' is a performative staging that uses conversation as a format to challenge the world view that places humans at the center, when buildings, urban areas and landscapes are planned.

Med udgangspunkt i udstillingen Ny Topografi hos Galerie MøllerWitt diskuteres det, hvorvidt den russiske billedkunstner Kazimir Malevitjs begreb arkitektoner er en brugbar forestilling om arkitektur, eller om de blot er kunstneriske fantasier hinsides det realistiske.
Hvad får man ud af den kontemporære arkitekturrepræsentation, når Jesper Rasmussen skildrer bygninger og steder renset for menneskets adfærd og funktioner, så den fremstår unheimlich og utopisk. Kan den bidrage til den aktuelle arkitekturdebat, hvor man diskuterer hvordan arkitekturen skal se ud, og hvordan den eventuelt er i færd med at umenneskeliggøre det offentlige rum?
Med udgangspunkt i Jesper Rasmussens aktuelle udstilling Ny Topografi hos Galerie MøllerWitt diskuteres spørgsmålet, hvorvidt arkitektoner er en ideel forestilling om en ny arkitektur eller om de blot er kunstneriske fantasier hinsides det realistiske.
Begrebet arkitektoner blev skabt af den russiske billedkunstner Kazimir Malevitj, da han i 1920'erne fremstillede en række formalistiske gipsfigurer, der angiveligt skulle pege på en ny tids arkitektur. Arkitektonerne er karakteriseret ved, at man ikke entydigt kan kategorisere dem som skulpturer i deres egen ret eller som modeller af noget andet, som for eksempel bygninger. De befinder sig i gråzonen mellem skulptur og arkitektur, mellem æstetik og funktion.

A thoughtfully curated collection of short films and an introductory lecture by Anne Linke, the director of 'Pigeons and Architecture'.
In this series of short films, we take a journey from Jean Painlevé's famous study of Parisian urban pigeons to Anne Linke's recent film essay on anonymous pigeon feeding in Hamburg. We delve into knowledge and fantasies that surround urban pigeons and architecture built to counteract their resting in urban space: grids, wires and spikes. It will be a celebration of cross-species solidarity, a paean to the feathered architects among us and a short film tryptic that challenges our view of city's symbioses, life forms and life worlds.
'Pigeon' is the first chapter in the series of lecture & film events 'Anima Urbis', exploring the interplay between architecture, urbanisation, and so-called 'trash animals'.

Meet two leading architecture collectives from Berlin and Marseilles collaborating on a public space in Nordvest that blends architecture, urbanism, and art.
The two architecture and art collectives Raumlabor (Berlin) and Collectif ETC (Marseille) work at the intersection of architecture, urban development, art and design. Both collectives are interested in the conceptual design and concrete realisation of architectural interventions in public space. Based on citizen involvement and local participation, the collectives ask what constitutes the character of a given place? What creates quality - for the individual and for society? How do you create spaces for dialogue and togetherness in the local community, where people feel safe and part of the community, while at the same time taking climate and resources into account
In 2022, Raumlabor and Collectif ETC were invited to Copenhagen by Goethe-Institut Dänemark and Institut français du Danemark with support by the Franco-German Cultural Fund. Inspired by the urban space around Skjolds Plads and Bispebjerg Bakke, they developed various sketches for new architectural and social initiatives in the area. Some of these drawings will be included in the exhibition at Arkitektforeningen. The exhibition consists of an installation created especially for the occasion, and it contains various artefacts and objects that associate with selected projects from Raumlabor and Collectif ETC. There is a special focus on the collectives' joint projects.
The exhibition will be on display from 7-13 June at the Architects' Association. On Wednesday 7 June there will be a special opening event from 16-18: Axel Timm and Jan Helge Theiler from Raumlabor and Théo Mouzard and Maxence Bohn from Collectif ETC will present their working practices and selected projects. There will be a special focus on the projects jointly developed by the two collectives. The audience is invited to actively participate in the conversation.
The event will be held in English and is organised in collaboration with the Copenhagen Architecture Festival and the Danish Architects' Association. It is supported by the Franco-German Cultural Fund.

Sammen med Simon Kjær Hansen og Peter Aalbæk Jensen tager Byens Netværk på jagt efter, hvor og hvordan fremtidens bæredygtige livsform leves, gødes og trives.
Den bæredygtige livsform leves i storbyen – ikke på landet. Verdens store byer bærer nemlig på nøglen til en mere bæredygtig fremtid. I en samtale med Simon Kjær Hansen, forfatter til bogen ”Et Forsvar for Storbyen”, og Peter Aalbæk Jensen, medstifter af filmselskabet Zentropa samt initiativtager og drivkraft i udviklingen af en ny bæredygtig bydel, Herfølge Bjergby, tager vi på opdagelse i storbyen og landsbyen med en forventning om at blive klogere på, hvad vi overhovedet kan betegne som en bæredygtig livsform.
På en travl hverdagsmorgen er det svært at se, at København skulle være et grønt forbillede. Trafik, støj og os præger myldretidstrafikken. Men billedet snyder, for københavnerne kører mindre i bil, lever mere småt og med mindre CO2-belastning fra bygninger, energi og affald end den gennemsnitlige dansker. Og i modsætning til de små pionersamfund i landområdernes økokollektiver, er byerne for de mange. Omtrent hver 10. dansker bor i København og har glæde af en livsform, som er høj, tæt og fælles, og som gør det nemmere at leve grønnere.
Men er storbyens fællesskab inkluderende? Og er stordrift og mange individer på et lille areal det optimale? Den bæredygtige livsform starter da ved det menneskelige velbefindende. Deraf udspringer det mentale overskud til innovation og virkelyst. Det sker naturligt i et samspil mellem landbrug og små samfund. Her kan skabes perfekte afsætningsforhold for produktion af fødevarer, opvarmning og byggematerialer. Her kan man arbejde, hvor man bor, sende børnene ud af hoveddøren og se dem gå til skole selv, de gamle hjælper med pasning af børnene mod at selv at blive hjulpet rundt i kørestolen og få familien på besøg, når alderdommen driller. Simon Kjær Hansen og Peter Aalbæk Jensen repræsenterer forskellige syn på, hvor den bæredygtige livsform lever bedst - på landet eller i byen?

Delve into Nørrebro’s history as a political battleground and share unique insights from a personal testimony of Copenhagen’s squatter movements, shedding light on the ongoing fight for urban justice and housing rights.
Historian and sociologist PhD René Karpantschof guides us through the streets of Nørrebro, which historically has been Denmark's 'red stronghold' and the battlefield for numerous major conflicts between the authorities and resident movements.
The tour uncovers the history of urban spaces as political battlegrounds, from the story of the BZ movement's challenge to the legal framework of housing politics, to the current housing struggles and new Danish “ghetto law”.
René Karpantschof shares insights from his personal engagement in the Copenhagen squatter movements of the 1980s, providing a unique perspective on the ongoing fight for urban justice.
Meeting point at Sankt Hans Torv.

Experience a stunning artistic exploration of light, resonance and visual perception with three algorithm-based works by Austrian artist Rainer Kohlberger.
With their mathematical precision and overwhelming complexity, the three cinematic abstractions will draw the audience into a hypnotic and swirling stimulation that challenges the ear's ability to navigate and the eye's ability to focus.
The screening of the films will be introduced by the architect and researcher Carlo Volf, who will talk about solar architecture, heliophobia and the impact of light on human behavior. The event is part of the 'Trivial Matters' program, exploring the aesthetics, politics and metaphysics of architectural materials.

A conversation exploring the relationship between queer life and the need for safe and exclusive spaces with queer-feminist architect Simen Sorthe and guests.
According to Chauncey, there are “no queer space, (…) only spaces put to queer uses.” But can we identify common traits across the spaces queer people inhabit and produce? And could we in a Danish context even imagine a queer typology?
Join us for a conversation at Den Anden Side, the nightclub in the basement of Palads, on Tuesday 6 June, where we will talk about the party, the clinic and the refuge as three examples of queer spaces.
Simen Sorthe, queer-feminist architect and researcher, will be joined by Carlo Molino, DJ and co-founder of Group Therapy, Ditte Maria Bjerno Holst, head of Checkpoint Copenhagen, and Yanaba Mompremier Rymark Sankoh, secretary general of LGBT Asylum.
Doors and bar open at 18:00.
Event starts at 18:30.

Join SPACE10 and Nowadays on Earth for a guided workshop focused on connecting urban citizens with multispecies ecosystems to create a vibrant, greener future for all.
As some global cities implement urban rewilding methods, human-to-nature interaction remains inaccessible for many people living in urban environments. With an opening discussion followed by a 90-minute workshop, social enterprise Nowadays On Earth will introduce the concept of ecosomatics — the relationship between the body, its sensations and systems with the more-than-human environment. Focusing on city living, it will encourage people to imagine an alternative urban future by transforming unused spaces into green pockets of life for people, plants, and planet. Participants will receive radical tools for guerrilla gardening, including low-tech mushroom-growing techniques and seed bomb starter kits.

Hvad sker der, hvis vi lader det andet-end-menneskelige tale for sig selv og påvirke transformationen af en tidligere industrigrund i Herlev?
(DA) I samarbejde med Stedets Væsen (NXT), Building Conversations og Bybi inviterer vi til en rundbordssamtale - et 'Fuglenes Parlament' - i det gamle industrikvarter i Hørkær i den sydvestlige del af Herlev. Hér undergår en tidligere industrigrund i øjeblikket en transformation til i fremtiden at være et boligområde med indbydende grønne rekreative arealer for mennesker.
'Fuglenes Parlament' er en performativ iscenesættelse, der bruger samtalen som format til at udfordre det verdenssyn, som placerer mennesket i centrum, når bygninger, byområder, og landskaber planlægges og gennemføres. Midt i udviklingsprocessen inviterer vi borgere og relevante aktører i byggeprojektet til at repræsentere fuglene på stedet, og vi undersøger gennem en performativ samtale, hvordan man alternativt kunne tilgå et byggeprojekt som Hørkær med fuglene som en betydningsfuld brugergruppe.

Oplev Bispebjergs renoverede Helende Haver, og hør om arbejdet med udsmykningen af Nyt Hospital Bispebjerg på en vandring i hospitalshaven med arkitekt Erik Brandt Dam og billedkunstner Camilla Nørgård.
På denne havevandring går billedkunstner Camilla Nørgård og arkitekt Erik Brandt Dam i dialog om deres arbejde med og tanker bag henholdsvis udsmykningen af det fremtidige hospital og renoveringen af de Helende Haver. De diskuterer forskelle og ligheder i hver deres måde at arbejde på og kommer ind på, hvordan man bygger videre på historien i kunst og arkitektur og hylder den unikke kulturarv, mens man skaber fornyelse.
Undervejs bliver der rig mulighed for at opleve hospitalets og havernes særlige kultur- og naturhistorie alt i mens Brandt og Nørgård giver et indblik i visionerne for fornyelsen og sammenhængene mellem arbejdet med anlægningen af haverne, deres tilblivelse og planerne for udsmykningen af det fremtidige hospital. Der vil både under og efter vandringen være god mulighed for at forholde sig til kunsten, arkitekturen og dagens oplevelser i fællesskab.
Mødested: Bispebjerg Hospitals Helende Haver - 1. Tværvej, nord for porten ved Bispebjerg Bakke 23C, 2400 København NV

Billedkunstnerne Jonas Handskemager og Ebbe Stub Wittrup skaber kunstneriske interventioner, som inkorporeres i husets arkitektur. Kom til indvielse af projektet i Vilhelm Lauritzens Radiohus, der i dag huser Musikkonservatoriet.
Projektet The Study of plants and music tager udgangspunkt i Vilhelm Lauritzens Radiohus, særligt husets taghaver. Jonas Handskemager og Ebbe Stub Wittrup vil skabe kunstneriske interventioner som inkorporeres i husets arkitektur. De vil skærpe en nysgerrighed omkring de synergier der opstår i mødet mellem musik og planter.
Forskellige steder i taghaverne er der placeret lysskakter, som vil blive omdannet til Camera Obscura. Således vil der blive projiceret et fotografiske levende billede af havernes liv. Den simple og forunderlige teknik vil desuden understøtte husets funktionalistiske ide; at funktionen og konstruktionerne bliver bestemmende for husets form og plan.
Kunstnerne vil yderligere skabe et auditiv landskab på baggrund af husets musikalske aktiviter. Det vil blive transmittere op i haverne, for at understøtte arkitekten grundlæggende interesser for planter.
UNESCO har udnævnt København til at være arkitekturhovedstad. Det vil betyde at et stort internationalt publikum vil besøge byen.Så det er derfor en oplagt mulighed for at eksponerer Radiohuset ved at kaste et nyt og kunstnerisk blik på huset.

“A Cinematic Gardener" is the third part of a series examining the complicated connection between landscape cultures and their contradictory status between wildness, control, guilt, and care. Come to the Danish premiere of Luke Fowler's "Being in a Place" and explore the complex convergence of film and garden cultures.
Drawing on a wealth of unseen archival material, including sound recordings, film rushes, offcuts and unpublished notebooks, Luke Fowler’s new feature film focuses on Margaret Tait, one of Scotland’s most enigmatic filmmakers. The film takes one of Tait’s unrealised scripts for Channel 4, entitled Heartlandscape: Visions of Ephemerality and Permanence, as its starting point and considers Tait's life and work grounded within the landscape of Orkney. Tait was not interested in filming the scenery but instead looked at the precise details that constitute a place, the small things that are often overlooked. Exploring the process of filmmaking itself from the perspective of a fellow artist sensitive to Tait’s understanding of film as a poetic medium, Being in a Place pays tribute to the strengths in her method, the importance of fragmented bodies of work, and the intrinsic value in failure.
Mathias Ruthner from Øjets bibliotek, a publishers collective specializing in film criticism, will introduce the film. Recently, Øjets bibliotek has published an anthology of Margaret Tait's writings, which will serve as the basis for the introduction. The focus of the introduction will revolve around Tait's garden motif in her writings and films.

Explore the intricate web of relations connecting oil, container logistics, and coastal zones with Allan Sekula's acclaimed work, The Forgotten Space.
'The Forgotten Space' is a provoking description of the world heavy container traffic and a documentary with a unique look at the infrastructures we often forget, but which today permeate every form of life, form of consumption and form of society. It is a film that opens eyes and arouses indignation through an unsentimental defence of human dignity in the face of a system characterised by a cold and hostile anonymity.
The film is introduced by the Berlin-based cultural theorist Alexander Klose, author of the outstanding book 'The Container Principle' and the research project 'Beauty of Oil'.
The event is part of a wider festival focus on coasts, water systems and aquatic landscapes.

Join us for an audio walk in the inner city that explores material traces of Denmark’s colonial history in Copenhagen's city center, interweaving past and present narratives in a polyphonic soundscape.
In collaboration with re:arc institute, we present this audio walk that examines material traces from the colonial era embedded in buildings and monuments in the centre of Copenhagen. The walk takes you from Christianshavns Torv to Kongens Nytorv, creating a polyphonic soundscape. The artists Jupiter J. Child (MZ/DK), La Vaughn Belle (USVI), Sirí Paulsen (GL/DK), Sabitha Söderholm (DK/IN), Oceana James (USVI), Julie Edel Hardenberg (GL) and Bernard Akoi-Jackson (GH) create narratives that intertwine different geographies and times: past and present interweave and testify to how colonialism is not a closed chapter, but still has strong reverberations in the present.
Please bring a pair of headphones and a tablet / smartphone from which you can play the audio.

Visit SPACE10's new exhibition, Design in the Age of AI, to explore how generative AI can help us design better futures for people and the planet.
How will artificial intelligence change the way we imagine, design, and build the world around us?
Design in the Age of AI is a new exhibition featuring speculative design concepts from recent SPACE10 projects. It examines how AI can be used as a creative design tool, even a collaborator, inviting critical and grounded conversation. With spatial design by Wang & Söderström, the exhibition reveals how AI can assist us in identifying hyperlocal and circular materials, envisage tomorrow's regenerative homes and cities, and challenge how we design for longevity. Visitors will discover new projects created with Panter&Tourron and oio, which use AI to question ingrained material and design processes. We also spotlight the winners of Regenerative Futures, our global AI design competition that challenged entrants to use AI to develop their vision of the future home, community, or city.

Immerse yourself in Mani Kaul's iconic documentary, 'The Mind of Clay', followed by a lecture by Amalie Smith on her artistic exploration of clay theories.
Det våde ler, røgen fra den varme ovn og hænderne, der blødt omformer den roterende materie til krukker, amforaer og mytologiske dyreskikkelser. ‘The Mind of Clay’ er den indiske mesterinstruktør Mani Kauls hovedværk og en æstetisk undersøgelse af indisk mytologi, mentalhistorie og filosofi anskuet gennem traditionel pottemagerkunst; en poetisk refleksion over jorden som moder og kilde til både liv og kunst.
"Jeg ville kende pottemagerens anstrengelser gennem min egen anstrengelser som filmskaber", sagde Mani Kaul efter at være hjemvendt fra de mange strabadserende ugers feltoptagelser i det nordlige Indien. Vi mener, at Kauls anstrengelser gav pote: Aldrig er leret blevet besunget så dybtfølt, rørende og sanseligt.
Filmen introduceres af den danske forfatter og billedkunstner Amalie Smith (f. 1985) og er en del af programmet ‘Trivial Matters’, der undersøger arkitektoniske materialers æstetik, politik og metafysik.

Med udgangspunkt i den aktuelle udstilling 'Bliver væk over tid', med den anerkendte fotograf og arkitekt Jens Markus Lindhe, inviterer Prospekt til byvandring med fokus på Vesterbros forandring.
Tag med Morgens Ulderup fra Prospekt på en byvandring på sporet af de markante forandringer, Vesterbro har undergået gennem de sidste årtier.
Vesterbros gennemgribende byfornyelse og gentrificering har sat sit præg. Turen tager udgangspunkt i Jens Markus Lindhe udstilling af aktuelle værker og arbejder fra hans arkiv om erindringen og bevaringen af den forsvundne by på Prospekt udstillingssted for arkitektur og fotografi.
Som både øjenvidne og arkitekturfotograf har Jens Markus Lindhe rettet sin linse mod kvarterets forvandlinger siden 1980erne. Bevarede og forsvundne dele af byen og deres liv og efterliv i fotografiet bliver belyst i denne udstilling og på den perspektiverende byvandring. Udstillingen stiller desuden skarpt på tidsskriftet 'Skala' for nordisk arkitektur, der udkom 1985-1994. Heri udkom nogle af Jens Markus Lindhes tidlige arbejder.

Black Audio Film Collective (BAFC), der blev oprettet i 1982 og opløst i 1998, bestod af sorte britiske multimediekunstnere og filmskabere. John Akomfrah, Lina Gopaul, Avril Johnson, Reece Auguiste, Trevor Mathison, David Lawson og Edward George producerede prisbelønnede film, fotografier, lysbånd, video, installationer, plakater og interventioner. I løbet af deres karriere arbejdede BAFC inden for og mellem medierne kunst, film og tv og har deltaget i udstillinger som From Two Worlds (Whitechapel Gallery, 1986), The British Art Show (Hayward Gallery, 1990), Documenta X (1997) og Documenta XI (2002). Dannelsen af Black Audio Film Collective var en reaktion på den sociale uro i Storbritannien i 1980'erne: Under indflydelse af den samtidige debat om postkolonialisme og sociale teoretikere som Homi Bhabha og Stuart Hall fokuserede de på undersøgelser af sort identitet og kultur og omarbejdede dokumentarfilmen for at artikulere nye stemmer i britisk film.
Skabt tre år inde i Thatcher-vældet, indfanger Black Audio Film Collectives Twilight City (1989) genopbygningen af London, hvor havne og boliger for arbejdere og indvandrere må vige for tårnene i det nye finansielle knudepunkt Canary Wharf. Fundne optagelser, panoreringer over byen, interviews med folk som Homi Bhabha samt breve og beretninger fra den fiktive journalist Olivia, der forsker i 'The New London and the Creation of Wealth', væves sammen i et tæt visuelt og lydmæssigt værk, der fungerer som en 'udgravning af psykiske og historiske lag'.
Elisa R. Linn er forfatter, kurator og underviser, og er bosiddende i Berlin. Hun er med-direktør for Halle für Kunst Lüneburg og underviser på Leuphana Universitet. Linn er uddannet på Whitney Independent Study Curatorial Program og er i gang med en ph.d. i filosofi under ledelse af Marina Gržinić på Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Hun har blandt andre bidraget til publikationer og tidsskrifter som Starship, Artforum, Texte zur Kunst, BOMB, Jacobin og Journal for the History of Knowledge.
Lennart Wolff er arkitekt, kurator og underviser bosiddende i Berlin, og er uddannet fra Architectural Association i London.

Inaugurated in 1982 and dissolved in 1998, Black Audio Film Collective (BAFC) was comprised of black British multimedia artists and film makers. John Akomfrah, Lina Gopaul, Avril Johnson, Reece Auguiste, Trevor Mathison, David Lawson and Edward George produced award winning film, photography, slide tape, video, installation, posters and interventions. Throughout their career, the BAFC worked within and between the media of art, film and television, participating in exhibitions such as From Two Worlds (Whitechapel Gallery, 1986), The British Art Show (Hayward Gallery, 1990), Documenta X (1997) and Documenta XI (2002).’ The formation of the Black Audio Film Collective, was a response to the social unrest in Britain in the 1980s: Influenced by contemporary debate on post-colonialism and social theorists such as Homi Bhabha and Stuart Hall, they centered around investigations of black identity and culture and reworked the documentary to articulate new voices in British cinema.
Made three years into Thatcherite rule, Black Audio Film Collective’s Twilight City (1989) captures the redevelopment of London, where docks and housing for workers and immigrants gave way to the towers of the new financial hub Canary Wharf. Found footage, city vistas, interviews with the likes of Homi Bhabha as well as letters and accounts of the fictional journalist Olivia, who is researching the creation of wealth in the new London, are interwoven into a dense visual and audio fabric of psychic and historical layers.
