New knowledge, innovative experiments and site-specific design approaches that respond to our global challenges. We are opening our premises to an architecture that dares to take responsibility.

Heat waves. Floods. Storms. Droughts. Our environment is undergoing rapid change and the global climatic conditions have become more extreme. The ability of humankind to adapt will determine the future of our species: it will be necessary to live in new ways if large parts of the globe are to become uninhabitable within the coming years.

It is of crucial importance that our architects respond to the environmental changes, because there is a need for more cultural sensitivity towards the technical interventions that can maintain livable and balanced environments; towards the emergence of new design and building technologies that unite the instrumental and aesthetic aspects of engineering; towards an art of living on a damaged planet—an adaptation that is both material and symbolic.

Learn more about what the architect can do in the face of the world's biggest challenges, and understand why we need to rethink future forms of living: we are filling our premises at Halmtorvet 27 with drawings, photographs, artifacts and films by David A. Garcia and his students from the Royal Danish Academy of Architecture. This will be an exhibition about the possibilities and limitations of extreme environments and about our ability to live in a rapidly changing world.
