February 11, 2026

Tune in the second episode of Everything is Transformation. A conversation between Ben Bosence from Local Works Studio and Justine Bell, of Djernes & Bell. Bosence is a artist turned conservator and an expert in vernacular building structures. He is a major capacity when it comes to vernacular construction and repair—and of uncovering the materials available on site, and their relations and possibilities.

The conversation centers on Bosence's and Djernes & Bell's collaboration on the Hedeskov Center and investigates techniques and technologies of mapping and sourcing materials - as well questions regarding seasonality architecture and the topic of collective maintenance rituals.

About the series

The series centers around one of the most remarkable architectural transformation projects and experiments with material localism in recent Danish architectural history: Hedeskov Center for Regenerative Practice, by Djernes & Bell.

Across three episodes, relying on three conversations that took place at Copenhagen Architecture Forum in March 2025 in the exhibition of the same name, we investigate the knowledges, techniques, ideologies, and social relations shaping the project.

From the Podcast Archive: Architecture is more than buildings in cities
Are we operating within an underlying urban bias? And what would it mean to take the rural seriously as a place of life, ecology, and practice in its own right?
