Join us for a conversation on November 16, when the Lebanese-French architect Lina Ghotmeh, who, among other things, is known for having designed the head office of the fashion house Hermès in France in locally quarried bricks, and who currently is the architect behind this year's Serpentine pavilion in London, tells about her material and building experiments in conversation with Anna Beim, professor and head of centre for industrial Architecture - CINARK at The Royal Academy in Copenhagen, who specialises in ecological, traditional and local building methods.
The museum admission ticket gives access to the events. On the occasion of the events CAFx is co-hosting, the ticket will be reduced by 10% for CAFx Community Members.
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.
Thanks to Realdania for supporting the event program.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 their 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, 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.
Instead of being humbled into resignation, however, many architects of this cohort are choosing to confront these challenges head-on. 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.

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. 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. 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.

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.

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.

I forbindelse med 'Copenhagen - UNESCO Capital of World for Architecture 2023' vil percussionist Ying-Hsueh Chen tilbyde folk fra alle samfundslag og aldre en dyb, universel og tidløs oplevelse med 'Mirage: An Architecture Sonic Experience' koncertturné i København. Til denne koncert vil Chen bruge Grundvigskirkens usædvanlig akustik til at skabe en række unikke oplevelser og skabe en dyb og radikal meditation over relationen mellem lyd, materiale og rum.
Til koncerten vil Chen være en bro mellem lyd, bygning, materiale og menneske. Lyde af træ, sten, metal og skind smelter ind i den magiske atmosfære og bliver til et stort 'Gesamtkunstwerk'.
Ved koncerten få Chen overrakt Musikanmelderringens Kunstnerpris 2023.

(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.

(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 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 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 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
