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

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’?

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.

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. UKK Art Workers with Disabilities invites you to preview work from our growing project to map our access to the art sector, with an artist talk by Victor Vejle on the subject.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Programstart 2:
14:00 Introduktion til 4til1 planet-indsatsen og til Arkitekter Uden Grænser.
14:30 Break-out session - besøgende får mulighed for at gå rundt og besøge alle 4 pavilloner samt at møde arkitekterne bag, som vil afholde en kort præsentation om deres pavilloner.
Præsentationerne afholdes hvert 15. minut fra klokken 14.30 frem til 15.30.
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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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)

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.
