In a basement in Lund, there lies an unknown treasure. Film reels and audio tapes recorded by architect Bernt Nyberg with Lewerentz during his final years are stored here. Sigurd Lewerentz is among the most renowned Swedish architects, inspiring architects worldwide. Lewerentz did not want to be filmed or interviewed, preferring that his buildings speak for themselves. His unique solutions were decades ahead of their time.

He delved deeply into his architecture, was known for inspecting his construction sites down to the smallest detail, and focused on materials and durability. He emphasised craftsmanship over prefabrication. At a time when prefab construction and fast-growing cities have become the norm, we dive into Lewerentz’s universe and become inspired by a high degree of architectural detail, immersion, and an architect who might be even more influential today than in his own time.

About the Event

Architect Thomas Bo Jensen will introduce the film, followed by insights from director Sven Blume, who will share his thoughts, vision and the story behind this compelling documentary.

About CAFx Micro-Festival Vol. 2

How does our architecture shape the future? How can we create cities today that predict and anticipate tomorrow's problems? With six events spread over four days, we invite you to dive into the relationship between form and vision of the future through film premiers, unique screenings and lecture programs. Read more about CAFx Micro-Festival Vol.2 here.

In the past century, the temperature of the global ocean has increased more rapidly than at any given time in the past 11,000 years. Storm surges and cloud bursts have intensified, and the level of our groundwater is rising—a scenario that seems to only worsen in the future. As sea levels rise and storm surges increase, the interactions between humans and water intensify. This is a call to renegotiate our relationship with natural processes and nature. Our future landscapes call us to establish new perceptions and renewed landscape practices spanning from our daily lives to policies and politics.

For an afternoon, Copenhagen Architecture Forum (CAFx) and Center for Emerging Landscapes at the Aarhus School of Architecture (AAA) have joined forces to focus on our meeting with the water: How has water been perceived historically and today?, What are future perspectives? What are current landscape practices and what points of actions and policies are needed to adapt to and mitigate these anthropogenic climatic changes? We have invited international experts and artists from Georgia to give us their perspective on the above together with some of Denmark’s leading researchers, practitioners and policy makers within the field.

The day is divided into blocks under these themes:

1. Notions of water, cities and processes
2. Agencies of rivers and forming landscape practices
3. Present policies and future landscapes

Program

‍2:00 PM Welcome + introduction by Josephine Michau, Director of CAFx and Katrina Wiberg, Head of Center for Emerging Landscapes at AAA. 

2:15 PM

Block 1: Concepts - Notions of water, cities and processes / Blue, grey and green landscapes: deep concepts and future perspectives

In a rapidly changing climate with changing waterscapes, growing urbanization and declining biodiversity – how do we perceive and understand deep concepts of water and the entanglement between geological and human processes and take on a renewed perception of the modernistic views on cities?

1st. Speaker:
Tinatin Gurgenidze, an urban researcher, curator, author and co-Founder, Curator at Tbilisi Architecture Biennial:

Perceptions of water in Georgia - “Water Blessing- Tskaloba”‍

The geography of Georgia is shaped by the Caucasus Mountains, resulting in a rich abundance of water resources, including rivers, lakes, springs, and mineral waters. These elements sustain the environment and economy and hold significant cultural and spiritual meaning. Water symbolizes life, vitality, and divine energy in Georgian mythology and traditions. Conversely, its obstruction is seen as a source of evil. This reverence for water is reflected in rituals, folklore, and the naming of rivers after gods, which serves to emphasize its central role in shaping identity and belonging. The current exploitation of these resources has disrupted this historical relationship. From the policies implemented during the Soviet era to the neoliberal commodification of water, the mismanagement of these resources has caused environmental degradation, inequality, and displacement.

2nd. Speaker:
Tom Nielsen, an architect and professor of urban and landscape planning at the Aarhus School of Architecture. (AAA):

Earthly Cities - Tom will introduce his 2024 book Earthly Cities (Danish Architectural Press), in which he explores how ideas of ‘landing on earth’ (Latour) and of living within planetary boundaries can be translated into a new understanding of what cities could be.

3rd. Speaker: 
‍Thomas Juel Clemmensen, professor of landscape architecture at UiT The Arctic University of Norway :

Geologic Resonance (or Humanly Modified Ground and Time-based Aesthetics) -

The Anthropocene not only questions perceptions of nature, but also inspires us to expand and rethink the aesthetic repertoire of landscape architecture. The discussion is centred around a study of the Port of Aarhus in Denmark. The study includes a description of material conditions found at the port and a discussion of their aesthetic potential in sensitizing humans to the environmental conditions of the Anthropocene.

3.00 PM - Break

3.10 PM  

Block 2: Case studies, architectural practice - Agencies of rivers and forming landscape practices

Climate change causes changing waterscapes. However, flood disasters are closely related to human practices and understanding of control. Furthermore, land use changes are critically required. Thus, landscape practices and new perceptions and practices are needed. The case studies exemplify how we may engage to form new practices and understandings.

1st. Speaker:
Gigi Shukakidze, director of the architectural practice Wunderwerk and Co-founder of the Tbilisi Architecture Biennial:

Vere: The Lost River of Tbilisi (more information will follow soon)

‍2nd. Speaker:
‍Rikke Munck Petersen, Architect and Landscape Architect KU:

Ribe Riversystem (more information will follow soon)

3rd. Speaker:
‍Kasper Albrektsen, postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Emerging Landscapes at Aarhus School of Architecture and Aarhus Municipality:

Co-shape - In the future, we face extensive changes in how we perceive and use our urban landscapes. This requires not only technical planning but also an architectural and aesthetic approach to ensure well-being, biodiversity, and a balance between urban and natural spaces. The CO-SHAPE research project explores urban and landscape architectural methods for developing emerging urban landscapes.

4th. Speaker:
‍Lado Shonia, Architect and co-founded the studio W2KSHOP and MAUDI.
Currently he is lecturer at VA[A]DS, Free University of Tbilisi:

How politics have shaped the ecological landscape in Georgia - “Common Water Bodies “‍

The coastal town of Anaklia in western Georgia, near the de facto border with Abkhazia covers the region and is also highlighted, particularly its role as a major waterway and the location of a key hydroelectric dam. Anaklia is unique because the Enguri River meets the Black Sea, forming a delta that creates a biodiverse environment rich in flora and fauna. Finally, the presentation looks ahead to Anaklia's future, including plans for a deep-sea port in collaboration with Chinese companies to transform the town into a node for trade between China and Europe. This summer, a summer school, "Common Water Bodies", was organized in Anaklia, focusing on the Enguri River, the Enguri Delta, and the town's shaping.

5th. Speaker:
‍Jakob Miland-Samuelsen, Architect at Urland (more information will follow soon)

4.15 PM - Break

‍‍4.20 PM

Block 3: Present policies and future landscapes / Policy Making - a way forward

Which policies halter the blue-green transition, and which policies are needed to move forward? What are the key disputes, and do we know of best practices from which we can learn?

1. Speaker: Karsten Arnbjerg-Nielsen, Climate Scientist DMI (more information will follow soon)

4.50 PM - Brea

5 PM

Block 4: "Unmapping Energy Geographies”

Film + introduction by Tekla Aslanishvili, an artist, filmmaker, and essayist based between Berlin and Tbilisi. Currently, Aslanishvili is a postgraduate fellow at the Berlin Centre for Advanced Studies in Arts and Sciences (BAS) at Berlin University of the Arts.

The symposium will be moderated by Katrina Wiberg, Associate Professor in landscape architecture and climate adaptation and head of Center for Emerging Landscapes at the Aarhus School of Architecture (AAA). Katrina´s current research is on sea-level rise, coastal cities and adapting urban landscapes to changing waterscapes with cross-scalar and cross-temporal perspectives. Some of her main methods are interaction research and mapping, thus focusing on transferring data and knowledge via visual formats and interaction.

The program is still under development - it will be updated.

Price: 50 kroner, free for CAFx Community Members.
Coffee, tea and water included.

The symposium has been made possible by the generous support of The Agency of Culture and Palaces, Denmark

Pool, park, gym, supermarket, luxurious penthouse apartments, and cramped sleeping quarters at affordable prices. What happens when an entire community moves into a high-rise building? What is the relationship between power and verticality? And what is the future of high-rise construction?

We will discuss these questions with the film adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s sci-fi classic High-Rise—a sharp and humorous portrayal of the surveillance society, the culture of perfection, and alienation in the high-tech high-rises of modernity. Sink deep into your cinema seat and follow surgeon Robert Laing as he moves into a prestigious high-rise project, where the parties escalate and morality disintegrates in a mysterious parallel world, where class differences gradually become more pronounced.

The film is introduced by Mads Brügger, responsible editor-in-chief and CEO at Mediehuset Friheden.

Read more about CAFx Micro-Festival Vol.2 here.

Waves crash against the building’s concrete shell. Water seeps in and pools on the floor in front of the centuries-old wooden ships. Architects call the building a brutalist masterpiece, politicians call it a cultural elite monument, and in 2018, the Minister of Culture delisted the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde. We ask: Which stories do we choose to immortalise in stone? How do we distinguish between what’s worthy of preservation and what’s not? And is it out of respect for history, or is there a deeper impulse at play when we protect heritage—a need to anchor our fleeting existence to something more lasting? Join the discussion and gain a deeper understanding of how and why we preserve for the future with Hans Christian Post’s new film Vikingeskibshallen.

Participate in the conversation about the future of delisting with Kristoffer Lindhardt Weiss from Arkitektens Forlag and architect Dag Petersson, author of Delisted — A Political Story. There will also be the opportunity to meet and ask questions to the film’s director, Hans Christian Post.

Emilio Ambasz does not design buildings but situations: Views over Andalusian forest landscapes, ascents along hanging gardens, and walks through underground greenhouses. It’s all about connecting human consciousness with the forces of nature, the timelessness of myths, and a perception of deep cosmic temporality that allows us to transcend our individual interests and life circumstances. But what do these buildings really say about architecture’s ability to connect humans to something greater? And how can the architecture of the future meet humanity’s spiritual needs within the framework of a secular culture? Learn about Ambasz, cosmic longing, and the monumental architecture of the future with the film Green Over Gray.

A damp cloth glides over a shiny plastic surface at a Japanese capsule hotel in central Tokyo. Nothing is personal, nothing is unique, nothing is superfluous. Is this the home of the future? Is it even a home? And how can architecture strengthen social relationships in a world where more and more people choose to live alone? This event focuses on two significant future visions: Cities without loneliness and urban spaces that better support the needs of an ageing population.

Meet directors Daniel Schwartz and Giovanna Borasi as we raise the discussion about future living arrangements, the relationship between private and public spaces in future megacities, and how we can address the challenge of more elderly people and senior housing in the future with the films When We Live Alone and When We Grow Older.

The Future of Conservation

Waves crash against the concrete shell of the building. Water seeps in, pooling on the floor in front of the centuries-old wooden ships. Architects call the building a Brutalist masterpiece, politicians label it a culturally elitist monument, and in 2018, the Minister of Culture delisted the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde.

The Future of Contemplation

Emilio Ambasz doesn’t design buildings; he creates situations: views over Andalusian forest landscapes, ascents along hanging gardens, and walks in underground greenhouses. It’s all about connecting human consciousness with the forces of nature, the timelessness of myths, and a sense of deep cosmic temporality that allows us to transcend our individual interests and life circumstances.

Please note that the reading will take place in Danish, and the film will have Danish subtitles; however, the film is not dialogue-based and can be enjoyed by non-Danish speakers.

From filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky (Gunda, Aquarela) comes an epic, intimate and poetic meditation on architecture and how the design and construction of buildings from the ancient past reveal our destruction — and offer hope for survival and a way forward.

Centering on a landscape project by the Italian architect Michele De Lucchi, Kossakovsky uses the circle to reflect on the rise and fall of civilisations, capturing breathtaking imagery from the temple ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon, dating back to AD 60 to the recent destruction of cities in Turkey following a 7.8-magnitude earthquake in early 2023.

Rocks and stone connect the disparate societies, from ghostly monoliths stuck in the earth to tragic heaps of concrete rubble waiting to be hauled off and repurposed anew. Through Kossakovsky’s inquisitive lens, the grandeur and folly of humanity and its precarious relationship with nature posits the urgent question: How do we build, and how can we build better, before it’s too late?

The film is introduced with a reading by writer and visual artist Amalie Smith.

It was never just a shelter but an act of power and separation — Architecture. It carved out space, and as time went on, we withdrew deeper and deeper into it. From its inside, we came to understand ourselves as rational, cultured and civilised — free minds standing in contrast to the chaotic wildness we’ve left behind, an outside to manage, to tame, utilise or look at from behind the glass. But what if these walls, these boundaries, weren’t as solid as we thought? What if the inside and the outside were never truly separate at all? What if architecture were a mechanism suppressing an awareness of our connections to the exterior — the chalk in our bones, bacteria in our gut, iron in our blood, amino acids in our cells?

Slip into an alien sensorium, forge new metabolic alliances with mealworms, turn plastic into proteins, and drink the desert fog. These are the gestures of Inxects's architecture — strange models and metaphors for living, evolutionary adaptations to unpredictable ecologies, and tools that allow us to forge new connections with the strangeness of our present condition and the latent possibilities within it: learn from the odd morphologies of cacti, from the shiny shells of desert beetles, and from the audio-sonar of a bat! This is not an architecture of separations but of relations. 

Inxects' architectures invite us to interrogate the nature of our dilemmas and pose new questions by preserving aspects of the very issues they propose to fix: The heroic narrative, the tech-fix allure, gadget culture, the incessant drumbeat of individualism, and the ephemeral chase for the fashionable. They are not mere solutions or tools for the smooth functioning of an idyllic future but ambivalent artefacts that deny the relief of utopian purity, total solutions, and fantasies of wiping the slate clean. They are architectures that call humanity into the open, where a new awareness may leave behind the boundaries of the inside and the outside.

Grøn omstilling hænger sammen med social og økonomisk omstilling. Heidi Svenningsen Kajita’s forskningsprojekt Klager i praksis (Københavns Universitet) sætter fokus på behovet for at gentænke demokratiske tilgange til byplanlægning og arkitektur. Projektet handler om nysgerrige og omsorgsfulde tilgange til arbejdet med beboere i almene boligområder, der gennem historien har kæmpet med problemer som misligholdelse, nedrivninger og stigmatisering af 'parallelsamfund.'

Et fiktivt manuskript, skrevet for vidensteater sammen med dramatiker Rosa Sand, samler beretninger fra folk, der arbejder med brok og klager i den almene sektor. Uddrag fra manuskriptet er opført og filmatiseret med Anne Marie Helger i rollen som fortæller, der guider os gennem et roadmap for klager i praksis. Resultaterne peger mod en langsom praksis, hvor det besværlige og snørklede får plads og viser vej til en mere bæredygtig fremtid.

Også tak til dem der valgte at deltage i projektet Klager i praksis uden navn og til dem, der ikke ønskede at deltage.

Projektet er støttet af: Statens Kunsfond, Dreyers Fond, Østerbro Teater, Københavns Universitet, bureaus publishing og Anne Marie Helger.

Programmet præsenteres i samarbejde mellem CAFx, TilVaegs, AKK, og Københavns Universitet.

Cirkularitetskommissionen åbner dørene for sin femte høring. Det bliver med et lovforslag af Pil Thielst, partner i Lundgaard & Tranberg Arkitekter. Vi håber meget, at du vil deltage i denne offentlig eftermiddagsdrøftelse om fremtidige forhold mellem formgivning og lovgivning i Danmark.

Paneldeltager:

• Pil Thielst, partner i Lundgaard & Tranberg Arkitekter
• Holger Bisgaard, arkitekt og byplanskonsulent

Billetpris: 30 kr. / gratis for CAFx Community  medlemmer

Om Arrangementrækken

Høringen er en del af den kommission, CAFx har nedsat, der undersøger sammenhængen mellem lovgivning og formgivning. CAFx har i den forbindelse inviteret 5 fremtrædende arkitekter til at komme med hvert deres lovforslag, der testes i en offentlig høring og et panel bestående af en økonomisk, en juridisk og en politisk ekspert. De andre 4 forslagsstillere er Justine Bell fra Djernes & Bell, Anders Lendager fra Lendager Group, Sinus Lynge fra EFFEKT, samt Søren Nielsen fra Vandkunsten. Vi ved, at fremtidens cirkulære byggeri kræver nye juridiske betingelser, og vi mener, at disse betingelser formuleres bedst i offentligheden og i mellemrummet mellem arkitekter, eksperter og borgere. Vi håber, at Cirkularitetskommissionen kan være et sådant mellemrum, og at du vil deltage og løfte denne dagsorden med os!

Om Pil Thielst

Pil Thielst er arkitekt og partner i Lundgaard & Tranberg Arkitekter. Pil er forperson for ekspertgruppen for ny national arkitekturpolitik, som Kulturministeriet udpegede i 2022. Ekspertgruppen udgav i foråret 2024 sin analyse af arkitekturens udfordringsbillede, som er udgangspunktet for gruppens anbefalinger til en ny politik. Heri anslås et skarpt fokus på bedre brug af eksisterende bygninger, mere cirkularitet, øget biodiversitet og naturfølelse samt høj arkitektonisk kvalitet som afgørende bæredygtighedsparametre.‍‍

XXXIII Biennale Internazionale d'Arte Venezia (1966)

Instruktør: Jef Cornelis

I den humoristiske reportage fra en af verdens største og ældste kunstbegivenheder, Venedig Biennale, følger Jef Cornelis og hans team de officielle åbningsdage for udstillingen og de nationale pavilloner, hvor kun pressen og VIPs har adgang. Filmen portrætterer både de udstillende og besøgende i alt deres virvar gennem udstillingshallerne og pavillonerne. “Rumour has it that everything is decided at that very moment,” og “Indeed the crisis continues, but the show must go on” kommenterer speakeren.‍

Documenta 4

Instruktør: Jef Cornelis

Documenta – med lille d – er navnet på en hæderkronet udstilling af moderne kunst og samtidskunst, der finder sted hvert femte år i den tyske by Kassel.

Da documenta 4 finder sted i 1968, står den internationale kunstverden i en autoritetskrise. Arnold Bode, documentas kunstneriske medstifter og kunstnerisk leder, ser kritisk på tidens forandringer, og alligevel bliver documenta 4 uundgåeligt fyldt med kontroverser, generationskonflikter og debatter. Det politiserede samfund i de sene 1960’er manifesterer sig tydeligt i Kassel – røde flag og menneskemængder, der synger politiske sange, overdøver åbningstalerne.

Den visionære tv-formidler Jef Cornelis anvender et konceptuelt greb i sit portræt af begivenheden: Han og hans reporter stiller sig uvidende på sidelinjen og stiller spørgsmål til de forskellige spillere: Kuratorer, kunstnere, gallerister og besøgende. Og med et begrænset kommentarspor udfordrer Cornelis her seeren til selv at bedømme.

Documenta 5

Instruktør: Jef Cornelis

Documenta 5 i 1972 betragtes i dag som et epokegørende skift i documentas historie.

Udstillingen bliver for første gang egenhændigt styret af en kurator, der fastsætter en tematisk ramme for den udvalgte kunst. Det var den schweiziske kurator Harald Szeemann, der her satte fokus på forholdet mellem billede og virkelighed under titlen ’Questioning reality – pictural worlds today’.

I en tid, hvor massemedier fik større og større betydning, satte Szeemann sig for at undersøge kunstens forhold til visuelle udtryksformer sat i relation til virkeligheden.

Filmen giver indsigt i tidens trends såsom hyperrealisme, konceptkunst og kitsch, men også hele fænomenet ’documenta’, hypen omkring udstillingen, og disputten om kuratorens rolle.

Området ved Otto Busses Vej har i mere end 100 år dannet ramme om DSB’s centralværksted. Den lidt hemmelige lomme, som ligger midt mellem Vesterbro, Indre By og Sydhavnen, har fået navnet Jernbanebyen.

Jernbanebyen skal nu udvikles til en delvist bilfri bydel, hvor der skal bo ca. 9.000 mennesker og være skole, daginstitutioner, plejehjem, indkøbsmuligheder, arbejdspladser og store parker. Det store spørgsmål er nu, hvordan man bedst udvikler området, så det bliver en levende bydel med plads til fællesskaber, grønne områder og hverdagsliv - samtidig med, at den særlige identitet i det gamle jernbaneområde bevares?

Lokalplanforslaget er nu i offentlig høring, og du har mulighed for at deltage i debatten til arrangementer og komme med din holdning til rammerne for udviklingen ved et skriftligt høringssvar. Jo flere stemmer vi får, jo bedre en by kan vi skabe sammen!

Du kan læse lokalplanforslaget og afgive høringssvar ved at klikke ind på linket: https://blivhoert.kk.dk/hoering/jernbanebyen-lokalplanforslag-og-kommuneplantillaeg.

Vesterbro Lokaludvalg inviterer sammen med Teknik- og Miljøforvaltningen og CAFx til arrangementet “Bland dig i Jernbanebyen”, som åbner samtalen i tre tematiske nedslag: Biodiversitet og Natur, Kulturarv og Den Inkluderende By.

Sonsbeek Park i Arnhem i Holland er internationalt kendt for sine offentlige skulpturpark-udstillinger. En tradition, som går helt tilbage til 1949.

Den sjette udgave fandt sted i 1971 og var et vendepunkt, da den hovedsagelig udstillede ny kunst med særlig vægt på land art og minimalisme. Efter 15 års pause fulgte så den syvende udgave i 1986, hvor en ny generation af kunstnere indtog Park Sonsbeek.

Både i 1971 og 1986 producerede Jef Cornelis reportager fra udstillings-begivenheden til den nationale tv-station VRT, og sammen fungerer de to reportager som et billede på billedkunstfeltets rivende udvikling i perioden.

Introduktion ved billedkunstnerne Eva la Cour og Mia Edelgart. Introduktionen varer 30 minutter og foregår på dansk.

Sonsbeek Buiten de Perken

Instruktør: Jef Cornelis

’Sonsbeek buiten de perken’ (titlen betyder ’Sonsbeek, ud over grænserne’) er en dokumentarfilm/tv-reportage, der tager udgangspunkt i den offentlige skulpturudstilling Sonsbeek i 1971. Jef Cornelis undersøger kunstbegrebet i et udvidet felt, mere præcist overgangen fra skulptur til en række nye udtryksformer som betegnes som land art, konceptkunst, proces kunst, minimalisme, performance og videokunst. En udvikling som fandt sted i slutningen af 1960’erne og et godt stykke ind i 1970’erne.‍

Spaziergaenger mit Hund - Sonsbeek 86

Instruktør: Jef Cornelis

I reportagen fra skulpturudstillingen Sonsbeek ’86 følger vi en ung Chris Dercon, en iscenesat reporter, som bevæger sig gennem parken i Arnhem. I denne syvende udgave af kunstmanifestationen vises de fleste værker – i modsætning til dens tidligere udgaver – i særligt designede glaspavilloner.

Værkerne er af kunstnere som Robert Smithson, Katharina Fritsch, Marcel Broodthaers, Richard Artschwager, Michael Asher, Panamarenko (Zeppelin 1971), Luciano Fabro, Ettore Spaletti, Thomas Schütte, Bruce Nauman, Claes Oldenburg og Rebecca Horn.

Reportagen mediterer over, hvordan parken, ikke ulig museet, er et afgrænset og defineret område, med kulturelle koder og normer for kunstens handlingsrum.

I dag søger nye generationer at blotlægge – eller endda forstærke og iscenesætte – spor af arbejde i arkitekturens materialer som en modreaktion til det 20. århundredes arkitektoniske materialebearbejdelse, der forsøgte at udslette alle arbejdsspor. Vi undersøger, hvad det er for en etik og æstetik, der driver den nye generation af arkitekter, hvorfor den er opstået, og hvordan den udspiller sig i teori og praksis. Samtalen vil foregå i CAFx’ udstilling ‘Cirkularitetskommissionen’.

Program

16:30 — 16:32 Velkomst CAFx
16:32 — 17:15 Martin Søberg om arbejdets forsvinden og genkomst i arkitekturen
17:15 — 18:00 Samtale mellem Verna Arkitekter og Martin Søberg om håndværk i arkitekturen

Cirkularitetskommissionen åbner dørene for sin fjerde høring. Det bliver med et lovforslag af Sinus Lynge, medstifter af tegnestuen EFFEKT. Vi håber meget, at du vil deltage i denne offentlig eftermiddagsdrøftelse om fremtidige forhold mellem formgivning og lovgivning i Danmark.

Paneldeltager:
- Sinus Lynge, Medstifter af EFFEKT
- Camilla van Deurs, Head of Urban Development i Nordic Office of Architecture og tidligere Stadsarkitekt i Københavns Kommune
- Annemarie Munk Riis, CEO for Rådet for Bæredygtigt Byggeri

Om Arrangementrækken

Høringen er en del af den kommission, CAFx har nedsat, der undersøger sammenhængen mellem lovgivning og formgivning. CAFx har i den forbindelse inviteret 6 fremtrædende arkitekter til at komme med hvert deres lovforslag, der testes i en offentlig høring og et panel bestående af en økonomisk, en juridisk og en politisk ekspert. De andre 4 forslagsstillere er Søren Nielsen fra Vandkunsten, Justine Bell fra Djernes & Bell, Anders Lendager fra Lendager Group samt Pil Thielst fra Lundgaard & Tranberg. Vi ved, at fremtidens cirkulære byggeri kræver nye juridiske betingelser, og vi mener, at disse betingelser formuleres bedst i offentligheden og i mellemrummet mellem arkitekter, eksperter og borgere. Vi håber, at Cirkularitetskommissionen kan være et sådant mellemrum, og at du vil deltage og løfte denne dagsorden med os!

Om Sinus Lynge

Sinus Lynge er medstifter af tegnestuen EFFEKT og har spillet en nøglerolle i Projektet Reduction Roadmap, et videnskabsbaseret transformationværktøj, der oversætter Paris-aftalen og de planetære grænser til branchespecifikke reduktionsmål for nye danske boligprojekter. Han har også bidraget til at tranformere Reduction Roadmap til en national kampagne, som har formået at mobilisere støtte fra over 600 virksomheder og organisationer på tværs af værdikæden i den danske byggebranche.‍‍

1970’ og 80’erne var en storhedstid inden for tv-produktion. Inden for rammerne af public service-tv blev der eksperimenteret med film-essays, reportager og live-produktioner.

Jef Cornelis var fastansat ved VRT – det belgiske svar på DR – og mellem 1964 og 1998 instruerede han mere end 200 dokumentarfilm, filmessays og live-udsendelser om moderne kunst, arkitektur og andre emner inden for det kulturelle domæne. Gennem et nøje kurateret udvalg af Cornelis' produktioner sætter Cinemateket fokus på nogle af verdens største og vigtigste kunstbegivenheder, kunst i det offentlige rum og ikke mindst byens gentrificering og gadens afvikling.

Det er de to danske billedkunstnere Eva la Cour og Mia Edelgart, som har sammensat programmet. Parallelt med Cinematekets præsentation vises deres udstilling ’Heart on the Tongue’, hvor de belyser og undersøger betydningen af Jef Cornelis praksis gennem produktion af egne værker. Der sker fra 9. august til 26. oktober i udstillingsstedet HEIRLOOM i Sølvgade 36 – lige på den modsatte side af Kongens Have fra Cinemateket. Læs mere på heirloom-caa.org.

Programmet præsenteres i samarbejde med Cinemateket og Heirloom og er støttet af Augustinus Fonden og Ny Carlsberg Fondet.

Hvordan forvandlede Bruxelles sig, mediterer Cornelis i ‘Brussel, scherven van geluk‘ (1995, 57 min.), fra at være en behagelig til en umulig by at bo i? ‘De Straat‘ (1972, 40 min.) spørger i stedet: Hvad er en gade? En trafikåre eller stedet, hvor livet leves? ’De straat’ er et studie, der både fremstår videnskabeligt og kunstnerisk.

Introduktion ved billedkunstnerne Eva la Cour og Mia Edelgart. Introduktionen varer 20 minutter og foregår på dansk.

De straat

Instruktør: Jef Cornelis

Hvad er en gade? En trafikåre eller stedet, hvor livet leves? ’De straat’ er et studie, der både fremstår videnskabeligt og kunstnerisk.

Genkendelig gadestøj, musik og en nøgtern, forklarende voice-over akkompagnerer de betagende billeder filmet fra helikopter og gade- og markedsscener i Belgien, Italien og andre steder. Det hele gennemskåret af effektive jump-cuts, så man ikke bare fornemmer, men næsten fysisk mærker kontrasterne.

Omdrejningspunktet er, hvordan effektivisering og kontrol af trafikal infrastruktur i 1970'erne påvirkede ikke kun eksisterende beboelsesområder, men også grundlæggende ændrede betingelserne for sociale liv.

Brussel, scherven van geluk

Instruktør: Jef Cornelis

Direkte oversat betyder filmens titel ’Bruxelles, skår af lykke’. Her er ikke tale om en traditionel dokumentar om den belgiske hovedstad, men et filmessay, som forsøger at forstå byens udvikling, hvor tusinder ankommer hver dag med tog eller bil for at gå på arbejde, men forlader byen igen om aftenen.

Hvordan, mediterer Cornelis, forvandlede Bruxelles sig fra at være en behagelig til en umulig by at bo i? Ved at blande arkivmateriale og skildringer fra samtiden belyses splittelsen mellem visioner, forandring og virkelighed.

Udgangspunktet er bydelen Molenbeek, som i 1990’erne udviklede sig fra at være arbejder- og lavindkomst-kvarter til en multikulturel immigrantforstad.‍

Om Anders Lendager

Anders Lendager er arkitekt, kreativ direktør og grundlægger af Lendager. Han er en unik profil, da der findes få som ham i den danske byggebranche, der har kæmpet for bæredygtigheden – selv før det rigtig blev moderne. Hans entreprenante tilgang til at ville ændre verden til noget bedre, gør ham til en eftertragtet foredragshol­der, underviser og paneldeltager inden for bæredygtighed og cirkularitet. Gennem sit engagement bidrager han til at skubbe udviklingen af dansk byggeri i en mere bæredyg­tig retning med nytænkende projekter, publikationer og demonstrationsprojekter, der på hver deres måde har vist nye veje for CO2-reduktion og ressource-etik.‍‍

In collaboration with AHC, CAFx invites you to participate in a screening and performance lecture with architect Skafte Aymo-Boot and conceptual sculptor and filmmaker Maria Lalou. The evening will take its starting point in their newly published book, [UN]FINISHED - Atlas of Athens’ Incomplete Buildings - A Story of Hidden Antimonuments, in which they present and unfold the phenomenon of a particular pending architecture.

The architectural archetype of the unfinished concrete building can be found everywhere in the Athenian cityscape. Those structures, left in the middle of a discontinued building process in a seemingly never-ending pause, are signs of invisible financial and political structures defining the physical appearance of the city. With its character of a ruin of a forgotten purpose the unfinished building is at the same time pointing to the past and to the future, as a frozen moment of time preserved ever since its volume reached that concrete state.

Program

5.00PM: Welcome & short presentation
5.10PM: Lecture performance by Skafte Aymo-Boot and Maria Lalou
5.40PM: Screening of Barbaresou Legacy, or The Cursed One
5.55PM: Q&A

About Maria Lalou

Maria Lalou is a Greek conceptual sculptor and experimental filmmaker. Her work focuses on the political of the viewer, in the form of installations, performances, filmic documents and publications. She has published two monographs [theatro], Onomatopee - 2015 & the camera, Dolce Publications - 2019.

About Skafte Aymo-Boot

Skafte Aymo-Boot is a Danish architect with an independent design and research practice. He has realised a variety of permanent and temporary works in Europe and Asia, many of which are the result of collaborations with artists operating in the overlap between architecture and visual art. He is also a partner at the architectural office OP – Open Platform in Copenhagen.

Since 2012, Lalou & Aymo-Boot work together on [UN]FINISHED, their continuous research on the unfinished concrete buildings of Athens. In 2020, they founded ‘cross section archive’ in Athens, a space for art & architecture, exploring urban phenomena that occur in the intersection of those disciplines and how historical facts, political structures and everyday circumstances have been interfering with, forming, and directing them. They curate an annual thematic program of research and exhibitions, inviting artists, architects and thinkers to collectively investigate and expand the theme at stake, and publish the zine ‘Document’.

Kære Medborger

Er du nysgerrig på, hvad byudvikling er? Vil du forstå, hvorfor der ikke er træer overalt i byen? Vil du blive klogere på hvorfor veje og cykelstier ser ud, som de gør? Eller vil du vide, hvordan du kan påvirke byens udvikling? Så skal du gå til byudvikling! Sammen med direktøren for Dansk Byplanlaboratorium og tidligere stadsarkitekt i København, Tina Saaby og gæsteundervisere tager vi på en rejse fra det første, sansede møde med byens rum og huse til arbejdet med kommune-, helheds- og lokalplaner.

Vi snakker om processerne i kommunen og bliver klogere på, hvordan du som borger kan involvere og engagere dig i byudviklingen og øve indflydelse. På kurset skaber vi et fælles sprog og afsæt for forståelsen af udformningen af vores by. Og vi ser nærmere på arkitekturens virkemidler, når vi – i fællesskab – oplever byen i øjenhøjde.

OM KURSUS

Kurset består af 3 lærerige aftener. Alle kan være med – du møder op som du er!

MODUL I: “Byens rum og rammer: Et fælles sprog”

I kursets første modul bliver du klogerere på fagudtryk, begreber og vendinger, der beskriver byens karakter, form og udtryk. Sammen skaber vi
et sprog som et fælles udgangspunkt for samtalen om byens rum og rammer og bliver konkrete og præcise i beskrivelsen af dét, vi ser og oplever.

• 12. august kl. 19-21.30 hos CAFx på Halmtorvet 27, 1700 København V

MODUL II: “Byens rum og rammer: Vi skal ud i byen”

I kursets andet modul bevæger vi os ud i byen og kigger, sanser og taler om byens rum og rammer. Her genbesøger vi fagudtryk, begreber og
vendinger fra første modul og bruger dem i praksis. Sammen oplever vi kontrasterne mellem forskellige bydele og -rum, når vi bevæger os fra et
sted i byen til et andet. Undervejs taler vi om æstetiske og planlægningsmæssige greb og variationer, efterhånden som vi oplever dem.

• 19. august kl. 19-21.30. Vi mødes hos CAFx på Halmtorvet 27, 1700 København V

MODUL III: “Byudviklingens processer: Dine muligheder for indflydelse”

I kursets tredje modul bliver vi klogere på processerne bag byudvikling og inviterer dig med ind i maskinrummet. Vi dykker ned i dine muligheder
for at øve indflydelse på byens fremtidige karakter og udtryk.

• 26. august kl. 19-21.30. Vi mødes hos CAFx på Halmtorvet 27, 1700 København V


Pris: 150 kroner i alt.

Gå til byudvikling støttes af Vesterbro Lokaludvalg og arrangeres i samarbejde mellem Dansk Byplanlaboratorium og CAFx — Copenhagen Architecture Festival.

Pre-premiere: Experience Arne Jacobsen as the primary scenographer in Jessica Hausner's latest thriller-comedy Club Zero, with Mia Wasikowski in the lead role of a teacher and Sidse Babett-Knudsen in the role of a rector.

Sometimes, the interest in a film is sparked not by the lead actor or the director but instead by the set design. Club Zero captivates, partly because of the director and the lead actor — but for architecture-passionate cinemagoers, the film stands out, as most of it was filmed at St. Catherine's College, Oxford. The site is a late project by Arne Jacobsen and, like other significant projects by Jacobsen, can still be experienced as a Gesamtkunstwerk.

The buildings are still in use — and as good architecture often does, the place continues to inspire.

As an introduction to this preview of Club Zero, architecture and design specialist Marie-Louise Høstbo will introduce Arne Jacobsen's work St. Catherine's College in Oxford, from 1964, which represents the background for the film's scenography. After the film, there will be the opportunity to share the film experience over a drink at the bar.

Om Justine Bell

Uddannet arkitekt, MAA. Partner og stifter af Djernes & Bell tegnestue i København. Justine har fokus på det ‘der allerede eksisterer’ samt muligheder inden for regenerative processer i byggeri. Hun har mange års erfaring med transformationsprojekter i både UK og DK. Hun drømmer om Symbiocænens tidsalder, og at byggeri kan bidrag til en regenerativ fremtid.‍‍

Disse beslutninger er et stort ansvar, da det, der bygges nu, vil præge byen i de kommende mange år. Hvordan sikrer man, at de mange projekter giver noget tilbage til byen? Hvad betyder æstetikken for vores liv i byen og hvordan sikres æstetiske kvaliteter når mange hensyn skal tages i udviklingen af projekter og byområder i forhold til bæredygtighed, økonomi, pladsmangel og andre begrænsninger.

Siden 1903 har Københavns Kommune præmieret bygninger, der i særlig grad har formået at fremme kvaliteten af byens fysiske rammer. Hensigten er at rette opmærksomheden imod særligt vellykkede byggerier og byrum for at anerkende indsatsen fra arkitekter og bygherrer, der bidrager til at skabe en god by.
Kom forbi Halmtorvet 27, når Københavns Kommune i samarbejde med Copenhagen Architecture Festival inviterer til fejring og offentliggørelse af årets præmierede byggerier i København og til en samtale med et udvalg af eksperter om det gode byggeri.

About CAFx Micro-Festival (Vol. 1)

With 9 events spread over 4 days, CAFx - Copenhagen Architecture Festival explores new architectural perspectives through premiere screenings and unique film and lecture programs. We investigate what we can learn from children about urban spaces, what fair urban planning looks like across cultural, geographical and species boundaries, and what we can do to embed architecture in nature's infinite material cycles. Read more here.‍‍

The director and artist duo Ila Bêka (born 1967) and Louise Lemoine (born 1981) explore new narratives and forms of representation in relation to modern architecture and urban environments. The New York Times has called them "cult figures in the European architecture world" and they are widely recognised for their unique contributions to our contemporary understanding of architecture and the perception of the city.

The event is made possible thanks to the generous support from the Institut Francais.

'The Sense of Tuning'

DIRECTORS: Ila Bêka, Louise Lemoine    

Modern Mumbai prefers glass and glamour, but architect Bijoy Jain from Studio Mumbai chooses a different approach. He embraces materials such as basalt, bamboo, concrete, and soil to create simple yet elegant homes around courtyards and water basins that perceives in harmony with their tropical surroundings. The Sense of Tuning captures a day-long encounter between the director duo Bêka & Lemoine and Jain - twelve hours of intense wandering that takes us deep into the vital energies flowing through the streets of Mumbai.

About FILM MOSAIC

For 4 years, CAFx has focused on how to build and plan with inclusion in mind. This has been done through, among other things, a short film competition that culminated last year with more than 340 submissions from around the world on the subject, as well as a wide range of continued film and architecture workshops around the world. This year, we have had a close collaboration with partners in Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia to address social and environmental justice, and through the camera lens, to explore and convey the good practices of this in our construction and planning. Short films, introduction, and possible discussion about the films last a total of 150 min. and will be in English.

The event is made possible thanks to the generous support from the New Democracy Fund and the Embassy of Georgia.

The director and artist duo Ila Bêka (born 1967) and Louise Lemoine (born 1981) explore new narratives and forms of representation in relation to modern architecture and urban environments. The New York Times has called them "cult figures in the European architecture world" and they are widely recognised for their unique contributions to our contemporary understanding of architecture and the perception of the city. Presentation by the directors. The introduction lasts approx. 10 min. and will be in English.

The event is made possible thanks to the generous support from the Institut Francais.

'The Sense of Tuning'

DIRECTORS: Ila Bêka, Louise Lemoine    

Modern Mumbai prefers glass and glamour, but architect Bijoy Jain from Studio Mumbai chooses a different approach. He embraces materials such as basalt, bamboo, concrete, and soil to create simple yet elegant homes around courtyards and water basins that perceives in harmony with their tropical surroundings. The Sense of Tuning captures a day-long encounter between the director duo Bêka & Lemoine and Jain - twelve hours of intense wandering that takes us deep into the vital energies flowing through the streets of Mumbai.

About 'Spatial Disobedience. Children in Space'

JSince CAFx's inception in 2014, the festival has had the pleasure of showcasing a large selection of the productive film pair Bêka & Lemoine's many films. Now, the festival has invited the couple to curate a program for the festival and is therefore delighted to present the audience with the program Spatial Disobedience. Children in Space. Visit cafx.dk for more information.

'Spatial Disobedience. Children in Space'

DIRECTORS: Various  

A short film program that gathers extraordinary cinematic documents about children's street life from the 1940s to the 1960s: from the canals of Venice to the Spanish quarters in Harlem, from junk playgrounds in Copenhagen to the working-class neighborhood of Belleville in Paris. With a unique freshness, they depict how children, liberated from adult control, make the street their own and transform the city into a place of imagination, exploration, play, and excitement.

The event is made possible thanks to the generous support from the Institut Francais.

The film Homo Sapiens is introduced with a presentation on decay, unused resources and how we can reinscribe architecture into nature's endless circular material cycle. The presentation by architect and postdoctoral researcher with the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Schools of Architecture, Design and Conservation Stine Dalager Nielsen takes place in English and lasts 20 minutes.

'Homo Sapiens'

DIRECTOR: Nikolaus Geyrhalter 

The Guardian's review called it "the most extraordinary documentary film in years," while other critics compared the film's compositions to the iconic works of artists such as Anselm Kiefer, Andreas Gursky, and Christian Boltanski. Homo Sapiens is, in other words, a masterpiece; a patient film about decay in abandoned spaces, but with a suspenseful energy like a post-apocalyptic drama.

It's through constant wandering, exploration, and testing that children experience their being in the world. Their bodies are in a perpetual state of alert, through the electric antennas of their senses. It's by exploring their surrounding space that they become aware of themselves, others, and the complexities of their environment. The short films gathered in this program offer magnificent and subtle observations of how children engage their bodies in space as sensorial exploratory tools.

The screening will be accompanied by a conversation led by Bêka & Lemoine with Anna Heringer, architect of several outstanding projects dedicated to childhood and education, such as the METI school in Bangladesh (Aga Khan Award for Architecture).

After the movie, Goethe Institut Denmark extends an invitation for a glass of wine. The event is made possible thanks to the generous support from the Obel Award and Institut Francais.

About 'Spatial disobedience. Children in space'

Curated by artists-filmmakers Bêka & Lemoine, in close line with their long term research on the sensorial and emotional impact of space, Spatial disobedience. Children in space is a program of films and talks plugged into the unconditional energy and curiosity with which children explore space. Children are undoubtedly the forgotten ones of our cities. For them, everything is dangerous, distressful or forbidden since everything is designed by and for adults. Too small to open a door, to ring an intercom, to stop the traffic to cross the street, children are constantly adapting to an oversized world. They undergo constant limitation and regulation of their behavior, their movements and bodies to channel their bursting energy into safe and socially accepted manners. And yet it is through physical exploration of their surrounding space that children learn who they are and what kind of world they live in. Through a selection of short filmic gems, adopting the scale and perspective of children, this program is dedicated to the explorative and inventive force of childhood. The accompanying conversations will be the occasion to question what our cities would look like if we would listen to children a little more.

About Anna Heringer

For Anna Heringer architecture is a tool to improve lives. As an architect and honorary professor of the UNESCO Chair of Earthen Architecture, Building Cultures, and Sustainable Development she is focusing on the use of natural building materials. She received numerous honors: the Obel Award 2020, the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture, the AR Emerging Architecture Awards in 2006 and 2008, the Loeb Fellowship at Harvard's GSD and a RIBA International Fellowship. Her work was widely published and exhibited in the MoMA New York, the V&A Museum in London and at the Venice Biennale among other places.

About Bêka & Lemoine

Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine are visual artists who work in a variety of media, such as film, video installation, photography and books. They experiment with new narrative and cinematic forms to explore how people experience, perceive, and relate to space from an emotional, social, and cultural standpoint. Their films are widely shown at renowned museums and cultural institutions, as well as various biennials and international film festivals. Presented by The New York Times as the "cult figures in the European architecture world", Bêka & Lemoine's work has been widely acclaimed as "a new form of criticism" which "has deeply changed the way of looking at architecture".

The film Make Do With Now will be introduced with a presentation on the new trends in Japanese architecture. The presentation by Alex Hummel Lee, assistant professor and expert of Japanese architecture at the Royal Danish Academy, lasts approx. 30 min. and will be in English.

'Make Do With Now'

DIRECTORS: Anne Gross, Sebastian Gross  

The earthquake in eastern Japan in 2011, followed by the nuclear disaster in Fukushima, created significant social and economic turmoil in Japan. Interest in 'starchitecture' disappeared among young architects, who immediately intensified the pursuit of more critical, ecological, and socially just approaches. Make Do With Now offers an enthusiastic look at the new trends in Japanese architecture and an optimistic narrative of architectural renewal in a world of ecological and economic constraints.

Look around you! Everything that meets the eye has left a void. Everything you rely on in your everyday physical environment takes part in an operation that translates mountains into gravel, forests into clay pits, and villages into sand mines. Everything you touch was once in touch with another environment.

Today, the building and construction sectors account for 39% of total carbon emissions and 40% of global waste output. Digging, demolition, and dumping are the rules of this zero-sum game, where the habitability of some always entails the inhabitability of others, altering ecosystems into areas unfit to sustain life.

Exhibition Project

The exhibition project Commission on Circularity operates at the nexus of documentation and recommendation. On one front, it gathers world-leading researchers, artists, curators, and designers to construct an archive exploring ways of making the material economies of architecture visible via tangible objects, models, cartographies, concepts, and narratives. A sequence of events, comprising witness statements from experts, will perform, unfold and extend the archive during the exhibition period.

DELTAGERNE

METTE RIISE

I en verden af PowerPoint-slides, jakkesæt, klimarapporter og kunstgræs undersøger Mette Riise, hvad kunstnerens værdi er i den ’kapitalocæne’ tidsalder. Det gør hun ved at bruge sit eget kunstnerskab som eksperiment og ved at engagere sig i andre brancher såsom tv, stand-up, comedy og regnskab. Resultatet er performative, installationsbaserede og videodrevne værker, der leger med for- og bagsiden af det senkapitalistiske teater. I dette skæringsfelt mellem økonomisk rationale, systemkritik og populærkultur befinder Riises værker sig i en kritisk, post-kritisk, humoristisk og dybt alvorlig søgen efter værdi. Mette Riise (DK, 1992) har en BFA fra Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien (2021) og MFA fra Malmø Kunstakademi (2023).

OSCAR YRAN

Oscar Yran udstiller i øjeblikket på Statens Museum for Kunst og arbejder på en offentlig udsmykning til Nyboder i København. Arbejdet udforsker de materialer, som vores omgivelser er skabt af, og hvilke konsekvenser det har for mennesket i det lille og store perspektiv. Arbejdet refererer til historie og myter igennem figuration. Skulpturer, tryk og installationer materialiseres i træ, plastik og sten, ofte med kontrast mellem syntetiske og organiske substanser. Oscar Yran (NO, 1990) bor og arbejder i Danmark.

BRIAN FRANDSEN

Brian Frandsen er selvstændig strategisk designer og hjælper mennesker, organisationer og fællesskaber med at navigere i en foranderlig verden og drømme om en bedre og mere bæredygtig fremtid. Han har arbejdet med design- og forandringsprocesser, ledelsesudvikling og organisationsdesign i en række både store og små, danske og internationale organisationer og har tidligere været ansat i blandt andet Dansk Design Center og Alternativet.

JOHANNE AARUP HANSEN

Johanne Aarup Hansen er uddannet interaktionsdesigner fra Designskolen Kolding (2011) og bor og arbejder i København. I sin praksis arbejder hun med selvorganiserede og researchbaserede designprojekter, som skaber rum for at opleve og diskutere designfagets politiske og sociomaterielle aspekter, bl.a. i en række samarbejdsprojekter. Ud over en selvstændig praksis har Johanne Aarup Hansen siden 2019 været tilknyttet Institut for Mennesker og Teknologi på Roskilde Universitet som underviser og vejleder og har siddet i bestyrelsen i Forbundet Arkitekter og Designere i årene 2014-2021.

JOSEFINE KRABBE MUNCK

Josefine Krabbe er uddannet møbeldesigner og medstifter af udstillingsplatformen Ukurant, der viser eksperimenterende design fra unge talenter. Ud over at præsentere innovative tilgange til materialer, teknikker og form fokuserer Ukurant på at skabe forbindelser mellem den etablerede designverden og nye designere med fokus på at fremme fællesskab og arbejdsvilkår. I sit eget virke har Josefine Krabbe Munck hovedsageligt arbejdet freelance med filmscenografi og set design i projekter, der rummer alt fra tv-serier og reklamer til mere kunstneriske produktioner.

LAUGE FLORIS

Drømmekontoret er skabt af Lauge Floris Larsen, som er uddannet arkitekt MAA på Det Kongelige Akademi i København. 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 inden for skriverier, arkitektur og kunst.

MARIE THAMS

Marie Thams (1982, DK) er billedkunstner med base i København. Hun har en MFA Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademis Billedkunstskoler (2011) og en BA(Hons) i Fine Arts and History of Art fra Goldsmiths, London (2009). Siden 2022 har Thams været forperson for Billedkunstnernes Forbund, BKF. I sit kunstneriske arbejde forener Thams mange discipliner; installation, skulptur, lyd, film, poesi og performance, i et samlet udtryk. Hun skaber derved flere indgange til samtaler, der omhandler emner som køn og ligestilling, arbejdsliv og produktivitet samt retorik. Hun har tidligere været medlem af Statens Kunstfonds Repræsentantskab (2017–20) og i de seneste år været gæstelærer ved blandt andet Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademis Billedkunstskoler.

ANNA WEBER HENRIKSEN

Anna Weber Henriksen (1990, DK) er billedkunstner, uddannet fra Det Fynske Kunstakademi (2018). Hun laver samskabende værker i dialog med det omgivende miljø, hvor landskabet både er kunstnerens lærred, materiale, motiv og udtryk. Landskabets råmaterialer og performance indgår i det, Anna Weber Henriksen betegner som “udvindingen” af værkerne. En del af hendes virke er kunstnerdrevne platforme og tværæstetiske samarbejder, og sideløbende med hendes praksis iværksatte hun i 2009 Spirefestival på Tuse Næs med ambitionen om at skabe et tværkunstnerisk samlingspunkt på landet.

FOOD WASTE. What happens to it when it leaves our eyesight? How are cities and villages designed to get rid of it? And how can we optimize its reuse? Thinking in terms of digestion means thinking in terms of connections.

Join us for a conversation centring on food waste and urban metabolisms, and hear about what happens to food waste - from packaging to peel. How are cities and villages designed to eliminate waste, and how can we redesign and reuse it? Can waste be used as a building material?

Waste is the future.

‍Episode five / Digestion—Ca.Ca. (Cannibal Carnival)
Elii (Uriel Fogué, Carlos Palacios, Eva Gil) + María Jerez 
When we eat, we are not the only ones involved in the process of digestion. The UN estimates that around 17% of the food we produce ends up in the bin. Here, alongside the by-products of our own digestive processes, our leftovers begin an invisible journey, wending their way through the underground bowels of our cities. It is in these hidden places that the contracts between urban spaces and the ecologies that sustain them are established. This episode delves into the invisible journey taken by our food when we discard it as waste. We will explore the intricate, often hidden infrastructures that manage and metabolise these materials, revealing the complex entanglements of urban and ecological systems underpinning our daily lives.‍

[ENG]

Award-winning director Gerard Ortín Castellví creates artistic short films about our globalised food systems: Automated sensor agriculture, data-driven greenhouses and futuristic food robots. During the day, tulip bulbs, chrysanthemum stems, and tomatoes are processed fleetingly and efficiently, but at night, the machinery stops and the greenhouse is transformed into a dream-like chamber where plants, animals and machines form new entanglements.

Two short films by Gerard Ortín Castellvís will form the starting point for discussing the challenges and opportunities linked to future food systems.

Prior the screening Sophia Schuff*, Director, Urban Anthropologist, and Lead of Gehl’s EMEA team, will do a lecture about Gehl's project Foodscapes — 'By examining the role of the built environment and community in shaping a neighborhood’s foodscape, Gehl supported clients in creating actionable solutions to improve access to healthy, affordable, culturally appropriate food for vulnerable groups and in disinvested communities.'

Event organised in collaboration with Cinemateket. The introduction and conversation last approx. 30 minutes.

Ticket price: 105 kr., 75 kr. for Cinematekets and CAFx Community members

TALLERKENEN. Se på den. Ved Du, hvad du spiser? Og ville du mon spise anderledes, hvis du var tættere knyttet til mulden, hvor maden blev produceret?

At være opmærksom er at muliggøre forandring.

Kom med til en talk om mad af direktør i Sct. Hans  Have Tina Unger. Om hvad der sker, når byliv sammenfiltres med sit nære opland. Tina er inspireret af en 100 år gammel bevægelse udviklet af byplanlæggeren Ebenezer Howard – the Garden City Movement, der tog det bedste fra landet og byen på én gang. Med en høj grad af selvforsyning og afgrøder - og næringsstoffer, der cirkulerede lokalt fra land til by og tilbage igen. Tankerne er gamle, men stadig top-relevante og Tina inviterer hele Absalon til et kig ud på landet – med udgangspunkt i tallerkenen.

Kom forbi Absalon til fællesmiddag med film, byutopisamtale og madquiz:

Our kitchens are battlefields. Far more than a space for cooking and preparing meals, they are sites of profound political significance where our social realities are constructed. Here, we witness the normalization of gender roles, domestic labor, family structures, and even architectural typologies. Yet, if we are to rethink these domestic laboratories, we can unlock their potential as tools for constructing alternative imaginaries and forging new models of community building and collectivity. This chapter delves into the power of the kitchen as a site for political and social transformation and how their redefinition can challenge established norms and hierarchies, creating more just and equitable social and ecological structures in the process.

[ENG]

Eileen Gray had a truly eminent sense of design. The Irish artist and architect created some of the most iconic furniture of the 20th century, so when she focussed her unique artistic vision on developing a house for herself on the Riviera in 1929, the result was a modernist triumph. A house and a work of art in one, overlooking the sun-sparkled infinity of the Mediterranean. The house is named E.1027, a cryptic contraction of the names of Gray and her lover, Romanian architect Jean Badovici. But when the Swiss-French star architect Le Corbusier learns of the house, he becomes obsessed – perhaps because Gray breathes light, air and soul into her building, which is not just a machine to live in. ‘E.1027 – Eileen Gray and the House by the Sea’ reconstructs the dramatic story of Gray and the house that Le Corbusier amazingly managed to convince the world he had built himself.

A stunningly beautiful and cinematic docufiction where the inspiration from Gray is present in lines, colours and shapes – but where they serve the narrative of a brilliant female artist who spent a long life in the shadow of her male colleagues.

How can a building become part of the treatment in physical and mental rehabilitation? A film about architecture, bodies and universal design that could revolutionise the way we shape our shared spaces.

In Basel, Herzog & de Meuron has designed and created the REHAB rehabilitation centre. A hyper-modern building that offers specialised treatment for physical and neurological disabilities. The architecture is based on a holistic approach where the building is part of the treatment. There are windows in the ceiling so bedridden patients can see the sky. There are animals to be fed, wheelchair basketball, stairs to rehabilitate on, an art workshop and music therapy. In this innovative setting, we meet people who have been affected by strokes, industrial accidents or by the unfortunate play of chance. Filmmaker Louise Lemoine tells her own story of spending much of her childhood with her severely disabled father in various rehabilitation centres, which she describes as the worst rooms of her life. ‘Rehab (from Rehab)’ is a personal narrative and an inspiring take on how universal design and thoughtful architecture can change the way we organise the world.

The film is followed by a panel discussion (in Danish) on healing architecture and universal design between head of research at the Bevica Foundation, Camilla Ryhl, and co-founder of Nord Architects, Johannes Molander Pedersen. The conversation will be moderated by urbanist and architecture mediator Niels Bjørn.

Hvordan kan en bygning blive en del af behandlingen i den fysiske og mentale genoptræning af mennesker? En film om arkitektur, kroppe og universelt design, der kan revolutionere måderne, vi indretter vores fælles rum på.

I schweiziske Basel har to arkitektfirmaer tegnet og skabt rehabiliteringscenteret REHAB. En hyper-moderne bygning, der tilbyder specialiseret behandling af fysiske og neurologiske handikap. Arkitekturen er skabt ud fra en holistisk tankegang, hvor bygningen er en del af behandlingen. Der er vinduer i loftet, så sengeliggende kan se himlen. Der er dyr, der skal fodres, kørestolsbasketball, trapper man kan genoptræne på, et kunstværksted og musikbehandling. I disse nytænkende rammer møder vi mennesker, der er blevet ramt af blodpropper, arbejdsulykker eller tilfældighedernes spil. Sideløbende fortælles filmskaberen Louise Lemoine sin egen historie om at tilbringe en stor del af sin barndom med sin svært handikappede far på forskellige rehabiliteringscentre, hun beskriver som sit livs værste rum. ’Rehab (from Rehab)’ er en personlig fortælling og et inspirerende bud på, hvordan universelt design og velgennemtænkt arkitektur kan ændre måden vi indretter verden på.

SUPERMARKEDER. Her kan vi købe alt - mad fra hvor som helst og når som helst. Maden er så tilgængelig, at vi ikke tænker over, hvor den kommer fra, og hvor mange kilometer den tilbagelægger, før den når vores tallerkener. At værdsætte fødevaredistribution betyder at værdsætte de tråde, der forbinder vores eksistens med miljøet omkring os.

Tag med os på en guidet tur i Kødbyen v. museumsinspektør Jakob Ingemann Parby, Københavns Museum.

En by i byen - da kødbyen åbnede i 1879 repræsenterede den en hel ny arkitektur med tilhørende distributionssystem skabt for at sikre en mere hygiejnisk og dyreetisk håndtering af de enorme mængder kreaturer, som krævedes for at brødføde den voksende metropol. Her mødtes private kreaturhandlende og slagtere med offentligt ansatte studetrækker, malkepiger og dyrelæger. I de følgende årtier blev systemet udbygget med halmtorv, øksnehal og i 1937 blev Den hvide kødbys funktionalistiske byggeri føjet til og omdannede hele kvarteret til en by i byen. Hvad har vi lært siden da, og hvordan kan vi minimere fødevarenes rejse ved at integrere vores bylandskaber med madlandskaber, og uddanne den næste generation af ingeniører og arkitekter til at tænke og agere systemisk og bæredygtigt med hensyn til fødevaresystemer og distribution.

Tag med os på tur en by i byen!

Gerard Ortín Castellví + Pol Esteve Castelló 
How many kilometers does our food travel before it reaches our plates? Despite our vain efforts to become locavores, our food systems remain firmly rooted in a globalized paradigm. Every day, the intricate logistic architecture that forms this distributed conveyor belt dispatches billions of calories, connecting our palates to a plethora of remote sites and topics such as the automated landscapes of our shipping ports and the precarious labor supporting delivery platforms in the gig economy. This episode examines the relationship between food and movement and its complex interplay with various infrastructural, economic, and technological forces. It delves into aspects ranging from the climate-controlled network of cold chains to the aesthetic regimes that imprint food with motion, which ultimately sparks the irresistible desire that brings it to our tables

SUPERMARKETS. Here, we can buy everything—food from anywhere and anytime. Food is so accessible that we don’t think about where it comes from and how many kilometres it travels before it reaches our plates. Appreciating food distribution means appreciating the threads that connect our existence to the environment around us.

Join us for a conversation and a guided tour around the Meatpacking District on how we distributed food in the Meatpacking District when it was producing and distributing meat, what we have learned since then and how we can minimise travel by integrating our cityscapes with foodscapes, and train the next generation of engineers and architects to think and act systemically and sustainably regarding food systems and distribution.

Join us on the route from the sun!

[ENG]

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.

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.

Vær med til en samtale om, hvordan vi kan genskabe fødevareproduktionen og redesigne vores byer og samfund mere holistisk med lokal fødevareproduktion i tankerne.

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.
