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.

JORD. Hjemsted for mere end en fjerdedel af den biologiske mangfoldighed på jorden, planetens største vandfilter og et af de vigtigste naturlige systemer for kulstoflagring. Sund jord betyder sunde økosystemer og et godt grundlag for frugtbare fødevaresystemer.

Regenerativt landbrug er blevet beskrevet som en landbrugsrevolution, der har løftet om en storslået vending af tendensen til jordudtømning og en væsentlig stigning i kulstofbinding.

Deltag i en samtale centreret omkring jord- og arealforvaltning i Danmark, hvor vi udforsker byerne, landskaber og regenerativ arealanvendelse, og spørger, hvordan vi kan løse de presserende problemer med klimakollaps og masseudryddelse, mens vi prioriterer næringsrig og bæredygtige fødevaresystemer.

As diverse as any rainforest or coral reef, we depend on the soil for 99% of our food. Yet, despite its importance, its mechanisms remain largely mysterious and poorly understood. The final episode focuses on soil as the primordial infrastructure underpinning both agriculture and architecture. The soil beneath our feet constitutes the very foundation of our food systems; a complex ecology of microscopic processes and assemblings that mediates the chemical transformation of the geosphere into the biosphere, and to which we owe the richness and diversity of our pantries. The microscopic narratives emerging in this veiled realm are macroscopic in scale and scope, and studying them may be the key to achieving a more resilient, more distributed, more diverse, and more sustainable food system than we have ever known.

SOIL. Home to more than a quarter of the biological diversity on earth, the planet's largest water filter and one of the most important natural carbon storage systems. Healthy soil means healthy ecosystems and a good foundation for fertile food systems.

Regenerative agriculture has been described as an agricultural revolution, holding the promise of a grand reversal of the trend toward soil depletion and a substantial increase in carbon sequestration.

Join us for a conversation centred around soil and land management in Denmark as we explore the entanglements of cities, landscapes and regenerative land-use, and ask how we can address the pressing issues of climate collapse and mass extinction while prioritizing nutritious and secure food systems.

By Eating We Digest Territories

Every time we eat, without being aware of it, we connect our plate to a plethora of remote sites: supermarkets, greenhouses, farms, cold chains, logistics networks, warehouses, and wastelands. But regrettably, the architecture facilitating these processes rarely garners attention and does not grace the pages of glossy architectural magazines, remaining mostly unnoticed despite its immense importance. Yet, in a world where every bite we take reverberates across the planet, now more than ever, we must redesign these food systems with their ecosystemic implications in mind.

FOODSCAPES prompts us to focus on the overlooked but crucial architecture that supports our food systems, from the domestic laboratories of our kitchens to the vast operational landscapes that nourish our cities. 

The exhibition is composed of three main parts: an audiovisual project of five short films, an archive in the form of a recipe book, and a comprehensive public programme:

Part 1: The short films—the food system as an architecture

If the agri-food system is an architecture, then what is its anatomy? The main course of foodscapes is an audiovisual feast of five short films, each delving into a distinct layer of the agrologistic process: FOUNDATION, PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, CONSUMPTION and DIGESTION. Crafted by interdisciplinary teams of architects and filmmakers, these episodes are insightful explorations into the systemic, political and ecological implications of the architectures behind our meals.

Part 2: The total recipes—11 case studies exploring the agri-food system end-to-end

Whereas the short films offer an in-depth taxonomy of the constitutive layers of the food system, the total recipes are case studies of how different dishes cut across the five layers, providing a cross-section of how the entire system works. Unlike traditional recipes, which only cover the mixing protocols of the ingredients readily available in our kitchens, these TOTAL RECIPES go further to encompass the long infrastructural chain that is necessary for their elaboration. 

Part 3: Public Program

While the short films and various recipes examine the current state of our foodscapes, the core of the exhibition is a public program of collaborative research aimed at envisioning future sustainable models for feeding the world without devouring the planet. Through lectures, workshops, film screenings, and guided tours, we extend an invitation for you to engage in an exploration of the intricacies of global food systems, encouraging deeper understandings, unearthing hidden narratives, and cultivating a collective commitment to building more sustainable, equitable, and resilient futures.

The events included into the exhibition event program are listed into the event collection FOODSCAPES.

Join us for the opening of the exhibition FOODSCAPES, this year's Spanish contribution to the Architecture Biennial in Venice, adapted to Halmtorvet 27 and the local context by CAFx.

At the event, you can meet the curators Eduardo Castillo-Vinuesa and Manuel Ocaña and the Future Foodscapes Research Unit, who will present the exhibition and their work. Afterwards, we will serve drinks. The event is free – just come by!

By Eating We Digest Territories

Every time we eat, without being aware of it, we connect our plate to a plethora of remote sites: supermarkets, greenhouses, farms, cold chains, logistics networks, warehouses, and wastelands. But regrettably, the architecture facilitating these processes rarely garners attention and does not grace the pages of glossy architectural magazines, remaining mostly unnoticed despite its immense importance. Yet, in a world where every bite we take reverberates across the planet, now more than ever, we must redesign these food systems with their ecosystemic implications in mind.

FOODSCAPES prompts us to focus on the overlooked but crucial architecture that supports our food systems, from the domestic laboratories of our kitchens to the vast operational landscapes that nourish our cities. 

The exhibition is composed of three main parts: an audiovisual project of five short films, an archive in the form of a recipe book, and a comprehensive public programme:

Part 1: The short films—the food system as an architecture

If the agri-food system is an architecture, then what is its anatomy? The main course of foodscapes is an audiovisual feast of five short films, each delving into a distinct layer of the agrologistic process: FOUNDATION, PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, CONSUMPTION and DIGESTION. Crafted by interdisciplinary teams of architects and filmmakers, these episodes are insightful explorations into the systemic, political and ecological implications of the architectures behind our meals.

Part 2: The total recipes—11 case studies exploring the agri-food system end-to-end

Whereas the short films offer an in-depth taxonomy of the constitutive layers of the food system, the total recipes are case studies of how different dishes cut across the five layers, providing a cross-section of how the entire system works. Unlike traditional recipes, which only cover the mixing protocols of the ingredients readily available in our kitchens, these TOTAL RECIPES go further to encompass the long infrastructural chain that is necessary for their elaboration. 

Part 3: Public Program

While the short films and various recipes examine the current state of our foodscapes, the core of the exhibition is a public program of collaborative research aimed at envisioning future sustainable models for feeding the world without devouring the planet. Through lectures, workshops, film screenings, and guided tours, we extend an invitation for you to engage in an exploration of the intricacies of global food systems, encouraging deeper understandings, unearthing hidden narratives, and cultivating a collective commitment to building more sustainable, equitable, and resilient futures.

The events included into the exhibition event program are listed into the event collection FOODSCAPES.

CAFx ARKEN: Danske håndværkstraditioner i en nutidig kontekst
Kan vi overføre fortidens byggetraditioner til fremtidens byggebranche? Og giver det overhovedet mening at prøve?

Brugen af mursten som byggemateriale har været definerende for den danske byggeskik og arkitektoniske kulturarv. Men den teknologiske og industrielle udvikling har ændret måden vi bygger på og dermed også vilkårene for brugen af traditionelle byggematerialer og -metoder.

I det sidste CAFx ARKEN arrangement ser vi nærmere på, hvordan unge tegnestuer i dag forholder sig til dansk byggeskik og håndværkstraditioner i deres egen arkitekturpraksis. I selskab med arkitekterne Kim Lenschow og Justine Bell, spørger vi, hvordan man kan gentænke den vernakulære arkitektur i en nutidig kontekst og arbejde med regenerative tilgange til moderne byggeri. Samtalen bliver modereret af forlægger Kristoffer Weiss.

Justine Bell er arkitekt og partner i tegnestuen Djernes & Bell, som har en særlig interesse for arkitekturens lokale forankring. De er optaget af bio-inklusive og regenerative praksisser, og undersøger hvordan arkitektur kan imødekomme vores planetariske begrænsninger gennem især reparation og renovering.

Kim Lenschow er arkitekt og partner i Office Kim Lenschow, der søger at udfordre indgroede værdier, overbevisninger og materielle fortællinger gennem arkitektur og kritisk design.

Kristoffer Weiss er filosof, tidligere partner i Effekt og direktør for Arkitektens Forlag. Han har bl.a. været medforfatter til bogen 'Den ny bølge i dansk arkitektur'.

Arrangementet er gratis med entré til museet.

Medlemmer af CAFx får 10% rabat på museumsentré på dagen for arrangementet.

From 13 October 2023 to 16 February 2024, ARKEN Museum for Contemporary Art is showing the large-scale exhibition Bricks - Per Kirkeby, which is dedicated to Per Kirkeby's (1938-2018) monumental brick sculptures. Late in life, the well-known Danish artist gave permission for the brick sculptures to be built posthumous, and a selection of the rare sculptures now fills the museum's large Art Axis.

Brick is typically Danish — an integral part of the building culture from medieval churches to modernist detached houses. Kirkeby's sculptures are at once recognisable in their everyday use of bricks and sublime in their monumental primaeval forms. However, much has happened since Per Kirkeby created his brick sculptures. Topics such as nature-based solutions, raw materials, material and resource consumption have become hot topics in relation to the construction industry's gigantic CO2 footprint, natural crises and the role of architecture. We strongly emphasize this in the borderland between art and architecture.

In connection with the exhibition Bricks - Per Kirkeby, CAFx collaborates with ARKEN on curating a broad-spectrum public program through several media and formats and with guests from home and abroad.


The full program will be announced soon.

The screening of Terence Davies' masterpiece 'Of Time and the City' is introduced by a conversation featuring poet Søren Ulrik Thomsen, exploring the status of memory, nostalgia and authenticity in periods of rapid urban renewals.

Davies creates sweet, humorous and painful cuts through a city steeped in myth and romanticisation. At the same time, the film explores the nature of love and memory and the imprints that the passage of years leaves on the cities and communities we care about.

The introduction is free, while the cinema ticket gives access to the screening. On the occasion of the events CAFx is co-hosting, the ticket will be reduced by 30 kr for CAFx Community Members.

Through selected projects, Panum & Kappel will share insights into their resource-conscious and socially responsible approach to shaping the built environment. The office's architectural practice creates and develops architecture based on circular construction principles, incorporating reused, recycled, and renewable materials.
By employing experimental practices and engaging with local communities, they specialize in the revitalization, renovation, and transformation of existing buildings and spaces.

‍
They preserve, transform, and reuse before initiating new construction, identifying the potential inherent in existing structures and recycling building materials.
As part of Generation Transformation, the practice is committed to minimizing our ecological footprint, with an awareness of limited resources, by working innovatively within the existing built environment, discovering the value of the existing, and recognizing our responsibility to the future, creating purpose and long-term value through circular thinking. The lecture will introduce a series of strategies that define Panum & Kappel's approach to resource-conscious construction, featuring a selection of projects and experiments that collectively provide insights into their work.

During this salon, CAFx invites younger Danish architecture studios, working in line with approaches and themes of our current exhibition, Make Do with Now: New Directions in Japanese Architecture, to reflect upon what the curator Yuma Shinohara characterises as the “renovation generation” in a Japanese context: ‘Increasingly, architecture in Japan is one of transformation and reprogramming, rather than of new construction. If previous generations of young architects had made their name through adventurous single-family homes, commissioned by young families to mark new phases of their lives, one could speak now of a “renovation generation” whose first projects consist of small-scale refurbishments of existing buildings and interiors – an observation borne out by taking a look at any recent architecture magazine in Japan. On the one hand, this trend is a function of scarcity – commissions for new constructions are few and far between, often because young people do not have the resources to buy property and finance new houses from the ground up – but this is also reflective of a general shift in cultural values.’

 

Nicolai Bo Andersen, Djernes & Bell, Kim Lenschow and gruppe-aja will present their work and methodology in light of the scarcity of resources, nature crises, aesthetics, changed values, etc. What might a strategy and methodology of a ‘renovation generation’ look like in a Danish context? How do we transform and renovate ‘boring’ buildings from the 1960s - 1990s of varying quality and enormous quantity (instead of demolishing them and building from scratch)? What are the environmental, economic, cultural and aesthetic problems and potentials?


While drinks are served, you can continue discussing with your friends and colleagues and see the exhibition.

 

You can meet:

Nicolai Bo Andersen, associate professor at the Royal Academy of Architecture, has and is educating many of the young architects of a ‘renovation generation’, working more modestly with the transformation of existing structures. (Nicolai Bo Andersen will both function as a moderator and participate in the conversation).

Djernes & Bell is an architectural practice based in Copenhagen with a special interest in what already exists: built, material, human, natural.

Kim Lenschow, (the former partner of Søren Pihlmann) aims to cultivate a more aware and authentic engagement with the world and the structures surrounding us.

Nicolai Bo Andersen, Djernes & Bell, Kim Lenschow and gruppe-aja will present their work and methodology in light of scarcity of resources, nature crises, aesthetics, changed values, etc. How might a strategy and methodology of a ‘renovation generation’ look like in a Danish context? How to transform and renovate ‘boring’ buildings from the 1960s - 1990s of varying quality and of an enormous quantity (instead of demolishing them and building from scratch)? What are the environmental, economic, cultural and aesthetic problems and potentials?

While drinks are served, you can continue the discussion with your friends and colleagues and see the exhibition.

You can meet:

Nicolai Bo Andersen, professor at the Royal Academy of Architecture - Centre for Sustainable Building Culture, who has and is educating many of the young architects of a ‘renovation generation’, working more modestly with transformation of existing structures.
(Nicolai Bo Andersen will both function as a moderator and take part in the conversation).

Djernes & Bell, is an architectural practice based in Copenhagen with a special interest in what already exists: built, material, human, natural.

Kim Lenschow, (the former partner of Søren Pihlmann), aiming to cultivate a more aware and authentic engagement with the world and the structures that surround us.

First, assistant professor and expert of Japanese architecture at the Royal Danish Academy, Alex Hummel Lee will give a lecture on Japanese architecture in the 20th and 21st centuries. This ‘tour de force’ will offer an opportunity for the Copenhagen audience to get more familiar with the broader context and background for some of the themes and practices represented in the exhibition Make Do with Now. Although modern Japanese architecture may appear as a unidirectional movement, beneath the surface, it contains a richly varied pattern of warring oppositions and factions, a local microcosm of distinctive currents of fierce rivalries and loud debates. The Japanese concept of architecture itself has divided the discipline into two tone-setting contrasting facets – the technical one with the architect as building constructor and the artistic one with the architect as auteur. That development started with a dramatic upheaval when, after more than 200 years of isolation from the outside world, Japan suddenly had to open up the country in the 1850s and catch up with the neglected centuries of inspiration from the West. It became the basis for a modern Japanese culture that took over the concept of architecture without its roots and which can still seem to stand outside and reflect itself in international developments. In the lecture, the Japanese architectural discipline is first presented from its infancy in the 1870s and as part of the culture up through time until early modernism. Then, currents in Japanese modern architecture within the last 100 years are outlined through a family tree populated by the most essential central figures.

 

After the historical lecture, architect Yutaro Muraji from CHAr, one of the young Japanese offices featured in the exhibition, will be present through a live connection. He will react to some of the themes presented by Alex Hummel Lee in his lecture and then speak about how his practice tries to build off / rethink the context they have inherited. In particular, CHAr’s work has much to do with the specific history of post-war urban development in Japanese cities. Moreover, he will present CHAr’s methodology and reflect on how they practice architecture beyond the traditional scrap-and-build approach. Thus, rather than demolishing and building within short-term timespans/intervals (like the famous case of the Ise temple being rebuilt in 20-year cycles), they renovate the existing structures according to changing societal needs and natural crises.

The main idea of the Ørsteds Haver project is to create a holistic environmental, social and architectural counterpoint to the pragmatic renovations carried out all over Denmark, which often have a one-sided focus on energy. For a sustainable future, it is not enough that we build sustainably alone. We will also need visionary methods to transform and adapt our existing building mass to the needs of the future to extend their use and lifetime. This is relevant not only for our architectural heritage worthy of preservation but perhaps even more so for the less attractive or even hated houses in our cities like this much-debated 1960s building by Ole Hagen.

Ørsteds Haver is an example of a project that has taken a generic facade renovation in a different direction, thereby future-proofing a strongly criticized building to the benefit of the environment, the residents and the surrounding urban space. Ørsteds Haver developed from an ordinary facade renovation, which was supposed to prevent the ingress of water on the open swallow corridors and reduce noise from the road to a drastic rethinking of the building's shared, semi-private and private living areas - in addition to a radical change of the building's relationship to H.C. Ørstedsvej. There are private living areas on the outside of the corridor on glass-covered terraces. The main idea behind this approach is to create a new kind of social space where the residents of the house can meet each other in a way that is random, immediate and with high frequency.

Ørsteds Haver was created in a collaboration between Tegnestuen LOKAL, the owners' association, Salling Group and Amstrup & Baggesen, who together created the possibilities for the project to succeed. Before the renovation, the building was among the least liked in Frederiksberg and was called Frederiksberg's ugliest facade by the residents themselves. The project received Renoverprisen in 2021.

The event is in both English and Danish. Scroll down for English version.

Under Kulturnatten fortæller Pihlmann Architects om den radikale transformation af CAFx og Art Hubs lokaler fra bank til kontor- og udstillingslokaler: Et kroneksempel på, hvordan yngre arkitekter tilgår klimaforandringer og økonomiske kriser ved at genbruge den eksisterende bygningsmasse frem for at bygge nyt. Du kan også opleve udstillingen Make Do with Now om unge japanske arkitekter, der forholder sig direkte til globale udfordringer, samt se en film om Art Hub og Bikubenfondens kommende hovedkvarter i Nordvest, som du helt ekstraordinært også kan besøge virtuelt.

Udstillingen Make Do With Now introducerer en ny generation af japanske arkitekter og byplanlæggere født mellem midten af 1970'erne og midten af 1990'erne. De fleste af de udstillede arkitekter begyndte deres professionelle løbebane efter det store jordskælv i det østlige Japan i 2011 og Fukushima-atomulykken. Det er en generation, der må forholde sig til en række akutte udfordringer, som landet står overfor, herunder en dalende og aldrende befolkning, en affolkning af landdistrikterne, udbredelsen af tomme huse i hele landet, profitdrevet byudvikling, primært uden arkitekters involvering, en stagnerende økonomi og selvfølgelig den globale klimakrise.

I stedet for at resignere vælger mange af denne generations arkitekter at konfrontere disse udfordringer ligepå, og udvikler en række kritiske, økologiske og sociale praksisser, der kreativt "klarer sig" med det forhåndenværende: Med begrænsede ressourcer, med fundne materialer eller med eksisterende rum. I modsætning til de strømlinede og minimalistiske rum, man ofte forbinder med japansk arkitektur, er disse arkitekter karakteriseret af en markant anderledes æstetik og etik, der ikke er bange for at lade tingene stå rå og ufærdige frem. Uanset om de arbejder fra periferien, udnytter huller i systemet eller indtager nye roller i processen, udtrykker disse praktikere en ny arkitektonisk handlekraft, der adskiller sig radikalt fra det traditionelle billede af arkitekten som ‘starchitect’.

Med denne version af Make Do With Now perspektiverer CAFx disse udfordringer og tilgange til en dansk kontekst og undersøger fællestræk og forskelle mellem japanske og danske arkitektoniske eksperimenterende praksisser.

Ved at introducere nye japanske praksisser i en dansk sammenhæng præsenteres både legende tilgange og nyttige værktøjer, der kan inspirere den nye 'generation transformation' og udvide vores opfattelse af værdisætning og kreativitet inden for det byggede miljø.

IN ENGLISH

CAFx and Art Hub Copenhagen invite you inside for an evening on transformation and renovation.

Pihlmann Architects presents the radical transformation of CAFx and Art Hub's premises from a bank to an office- and exhibition space: a prime example of how younger architects face climate changes and economic crisis by reusing the existing building stock rather than building anew. You can also see the exhibition Make Do with Now, featuring young Japanese architects from a 'renovation generation' who respond directly to global challenges, and watch a film about Art Hub's new space, which you for this occasion can visit virtually, too.

Make Do With Now introduces the thinking and projects of a new generation of architects and urban practitioners working in Japan today. Born between the mid-1970s and mid-1990s, the architects featured in the exhibition largely entered professional practice following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima nuclear disaster. This is a generation that must grapple with a range of urgent problems currently facing the country, including a declining, graying population and an emptying countryside; the proliferation of vacant houses across the nation; profit-driven urban development, mostly without the involvement of architects; a stagnant economy; and, of course, the global climate crisis.

Instead of being humbled into resignation, however, many architects of this cohort are choosing to confront these challenges head-on. Turning their marginalized position into a strength, they are developing a range of critical, ecological, and social practices that creatively “make do” – with limited resources, with found materials, or with existing spaces. In contrast to the clean lines and minimalist spaces most recently associated with contemporary Japanese architecture, these projects pursue a decidedly different aesthetic politics that isn’t afraid to leave things rough around the edges. Whether working from the periphery, exploiting gaps in the system, or occupying roles in the process that have previously been overlooked, these practitioners are articulating a new architectural agency that radically departs from the traditional image of the architect-author.

With the re-staging of Make Do With Now, CAFx situates these challenges and approaches into a Danish context and seeks out common features between the Japanese and Danish architectural landscapes and the experimental practices that emerge from them.

By introducing emerging Japanese practices into a Danish context we present both playful approaches and useful tools to inspire the emerging ‘renovation generation’ and broaden the perception of value and creativity within the built environment.

Access for the event requires a 'Culture Pass' for Copenhagen Culture Night, which can be acquired through the ticket link on this page.

PROGRAM

Beyond Standardization with Superposition

The need for certainty is part of an important effort to make buildings safer, however, it is also fundamentally linked to the economic models which shape the factory system. Contemporary building practice is a rigidly linear process where design must precede the act of building. A standardised approach, while simple to automate, makes the integration of locally available and natural materials difficult, and negates the improvisational quality of craft practices - reducing construction to the assembly of a kit of parts.

The award-winning studio Superposition believes that working with uncertainty does not mean accepting chaos and that the attempt to eliminate variability is inconsistent with material reality. Rebirth, change, and adaptation are fundamental to resilience. Superposition presents architecture not as an object but as a process: humane rather than technocratic, seen not as a single solution but as moments of reconciliation.

‍

Beyond Urban Leftovers with Alberto Roncelli

Over the past 50 years in Copenhagen, as in many other European cities, the area between the old city centre and the suburban periphery has undergone significant development, resulting in a diverse range of urban typologies and mixed functions. This rich and ongoing transformation has created a considerable number of neglected and underutilised spaces. Often due to their unusual spatial conditions, limited dimensions or outdated building regulations, these spaces are today left untouched and unloved, seen as natural and inevitable by-products of urban development.

Considering contemporary challenges such as densification, Alberto Roncelli explores the potential of these spaces as key components of resilient development. Part of the Nordvest neighbourhood in Copenhagen has been selected as a pilot area and used as a case study for mapping and design exploration.

Humanity vastly exceeds our planetary boundaries: how we inhabit our planet is due for an immediate and radical change. In this environmental emergency, architects are called to take the lead. The contemporary city is the focal site where architecture should tackle environmental sustainability issues. Most buildings in Europe are found in urban settlements, where more than 70% of the EU population resides, even though adequate housing is increasingly outside the reach of those without generational wealth. Our cities, which were tailored to the production processes of the past, are eating up the majority of global resources while becoming emblems of social inequality.

Can we transform contemporary urbanity into a sustainable, post-extractivist metropolitan area? How can we encourage the shift from building to renovating? How can we organise our cities around sustainable mobility and efficient food supply? Can we intervene in the infrastructure that supports our excessive way of living and gear it up for processes of de-growth? The LINA community—an alliance of architectural organisations and emerging professionals and thinkers—wonders: Can we create more resilient cities focused on de-growth?

The 2023 LINA Conference will bring together 32 members and 28 featured emerging talents — LINA fellows — along with local and international keynote speakers — Keller Easterling, Camilla Van Deurs, Phil Ayres, Nick Axel. An opportunity to connect and catch up with the most topical conversations in architecture, the 2-day conference will present novel visions for the city that aspire to bring about more liveable futures.

We are proud to present our local version of S AM Swiss Architecture Museum's brilliant exhibition in Basel, introducing the thinking and practices of a new generation of Japanese architects and urbanists that creatively “make do” with limited resources, with found materials, or with existing spaces.

Make Do With Now introduces the thinking and projects of a new generation of architects and urban practitioners working in Japan today. Born between the mid-1970s and mid-1990s, the architects featured in the exhibition largely entered professional practice following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima nuclear disaster. This is a generation that must grapple with a range of urgent problems currently facing the country, including a declining, graying population and an emptying countryside; the proliferation of vacant houses across the nation; profit-driven urban development, mostly without the involvement of architects; a stagnant economy; and, of course, the global climate crisis. The exhibition both challenges Western stereotypes of Japanese architecture and invites us to learn from Japan in new ways and includes examples of new Danish architecture in line with the Japanese ‘renovation generation’.

First, CAFx’ director Josephine Michau will welcome you to Copenhagen Architecture Festival’s localities in a radically transformed bank building on Halmtorvet 27, adding a ‘meta layer’ to the content of the exhibition. Then, the curator, Yuma Shinohara, and the director of Swiss Architecture in Basel, Andreas Ruby, will give an introduction to the exhibition and its background. Lastly, you will have the chance to see the exhibition and grab a drink with your friends and colleagues.

Free of charge - just come! Free drinks are served.

Make Do With Now introduces the thinking and projects of a new generation of architects and urban practitioners working in Japan today. Born between the mid-1970s and mid-1990s, the architects featured in the exhibition largely entered their professional practice following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima nuclear disaster. This is a generation that must grapple with a range of urgent problems currently facing the country, including a declining, greying population; an emptying countryside; the proliferation of vacant houses across the nation; profit-driven urban development, mostly without the involvement of architects; a stagnant economy; and, of course, the global climate crisis.

Turning their marginalised position into a strength, they are developing a range of critical, ecological, and social practices that creatively "make do" – with limited resources, with found materials, or with existing spaces. In contrast to the clean lines and minimalist spaces most recently associated with contemporary Japanese architecture, these projects pursue a decidedly different aesthetic politics that is unafraid to leave things rough around the edges. Whether working from the periphery, exploiting gaps in the system, or occupying roles in the process that have previously been overlooked, these practitioners are articulating a new architectural agency that radically departs from the traditional image of the architect-author.

Anything but a marginal phenomenon, these approaches coming out of Japan today hold crucial relevance for a world that is coming to terms with a future beyond a paradigm of constant growth. These projects demonstrate that to “make do” by no means signalises a lack; rather, they make us realise the creative flourishing that follows when we recognize that what we have is already more than enough.

Curated by Yuma Shinohara, ‘Make Do with Now’ is an exhibition traveling from the S AM Swiss Architecture Museum, which is now being presented in an adapted version at CAFx. From street level, you can experience five Japanese practices and the context they operate in. Inside, we broaden the topic with 20 experimental projects from Japan, and two projects from Denmark by Pihlmann Architects, one being the actual exhibition space itself, the other being a project under-construction at Thoravej in Copenhagen NV.

Exhibition Project

Window section: Five Practices

This section presents the work and thinking of five young architecture practices working in Japan today, each embodying a distinct approach to the question of the architect’s role in society: Mio Tsuneyama and Fuminori Nousaku, 403architecture [dajiba], CHAr, tomito architecture, and dot architects. Here, the focus is on process and approach: what are young architects in Japan thinking as they design? How do they work, and where? And what alternative visions of what architecture can be – and do – might come into view as we observe their work? The profiles unite photographs, films, drawings, and other materials from the offices to provide holistic portraits of their process. In a series of video portraits developed with Studio GROSS (Anne Gross and Sebastian Gross) for this exhibition, the architects explain their thinking in their own words.

Interior section I: 20 Projects

This section presents twenty representative projects, all started or completed in the last five years. Diverse in both scale and program, the selection aims to provide an x-ray scan of contemporary architectural production in Japan and shows that it is difficult to reduce the various attitudes and concerns of this generation of architects to a single issue. Rather, the image that emerges is that of a generation engaged in a search for new models of architectural engagement in an effort to articulate an adequate response to the challenges facing the profession and society at large today. Nonetheless, it is possible to identify certain interests and tendencies among the featured projects, and six themes are used for for navigating this new architectural landscape: Architecture as Transformation, The Architect on Display, From Building to City, Alt-Architect,  Main Street is Quite All Right, and Material Histories.

This part features projects by:
GROUP, Masaaki Iwamoto / ICADA, Ishimura + Neichi, Norihisa Kawashima / Nori Architects, Chie Konno / t e c o, Lunch! Architects, Murayama + Kato Architecture / mtka, Fuminori Nousaku Architects, Jumpei Nousaku Architects, Shun Takagi / Root A, Rui Itasaka / RUI Architects, Studio GROSS, SSK, Keigo Kawai / TAB, Tsubame Architects, Shigenori Uoya, VUILD, Suzuko Yamada, Maki Yoshimura / MYAO

Interior Section II: Pihlmann Architects

For the last part of the exhibition we are panning the view towards the local context with a look at two projects by Pihlmann Architects that take on a similar ethos: Halmtorvet 27, the place of the exhibition, was recently transformed from a bank into a flexible office- and exhibition space with materials extracted from the building itself. The idea of turning the inside out is continued in the spatial layout where excess building components are repurposed as exhibition displays in various ways. At Thoravej the transformation is still in the making: A film by Hampus Berndtson shows the search for the new in the old, revealing hidden potentials in un-loved architecture, when an anonymous office building makes way for a new art centre.

What if…? – Københavns Bygningspræmiering gennem 120 år
Byudvikler Jens Kramer Mikkelsen, stadsarkitekt Camilla van Deurs og lektor Morten Birk Jørgensen reflekterer over skiftende tendenser, præferencer og overset arkitektur i bygningspræmieringens sammensatte og stormombruste historie.

Vi fejrer Arkitekturens Dag og lanceringen af årets bygningspræmiering med en kavalkade gennem bygningspræmieringens forgrenede historie. Siden 1903 har Københavns Kommune præmieret bygninger, der i særlig grad har formået at fremme kvaliteten af byens fysiske rammer og arkitektur. Hensigten er at rette opmærksomheden imod særligt vellykkede byggerier for at anerkende indsatsen fra arkitekter og bygherrer, der bidrager til at skabe en god by.

Men hvad sker der når perspektivet løftes fra det enkelte års nye præmieringer til et samlet blik på de seneste 120 år? Det vil vi undersøge med tre garvede iagttagere af byen og dens arkitektur: Hvilke tendenser har været dominerende til hvilke tider? Kan politiske eller stilmæssige præferencer lokaliseres i udpegningerne? Og hvilke bygninger er uretfærdigt blevet overset? Hvorfor er signifikante projekter som Grundtvigskirken, Bellahøjbadet, Nationalbanken eller Havnebadet ved Islands Brygge fx aldrig blevet præmieret? Hvilke værdier og kriterier styrer udvælgelsen? Det er nogle af diskussionerne, der tages op under denne eftermiddag i bygningspræmieringens tegn som en retrospektiv kavalkade gennem årtierne, hvor panelet også tager de kontrafaktiske ”what if…?” briller på.

The event is an excursion to The Beach Park in Køge Bay, which is a nature-based coastal protection project from 1980 located south of Copenhagen in Denmark.

The Beach Park in Køge Bay is composed of two human-made barrier islands protecting the hinterland against flooding. It is one of the very few examples of a realized nature-based climate adapted coastal landscape in a Danish context. The Beach Park, which is seven kilometres long, was the largest coastal embankment in northern Europe of its time. Today the Beach Park functions as an important recreational landscape, which further supports biodiversity, bird life and various habitats.

Following the guided tour to The Beach Park in Køge Bay we will visit an exhibition and attend an international panel debate on nature-based solutions and coastal landscapes at CAFx in central Copenhagen.

Organisers
The event is organized by architect and professor Gertrud Jørgensen, urban planner and associate professor Ole Fryd and landscape architect and assistant professor Anna Aslaug Lund from University of Copenhagen. The event is coordinated in close collaboration with Aarhus School of Architecture and the Technical University of Denmark.

As background information, the organisers have published this paper on the Beach Park in Køge Bay.

Program
The event is in English and will take place on the 6th of July 2023 from 14:30-18:30 and the preliminary program is as follows:

14:30-15:15: Transportation by bus from Bella Center to The Beach Park. Anna Aslaug Lund will give an introduction to the background of the beach park during the bus ride.

15:15-15:40: In The Beach Park. Introduction to The Beach Park by Gertrud Jørgensen and Ole Fryd.

15:40-16:30: Guided walking tour in The Beach Park.

16:30-17:00: Transportation by bus to CAFx in Vesterbro in Copenhagen to visit an exhibition on nature-based solutions and coastal landscapes, which among others Anna Aslaug Lund has been involved in creating.

17:15-17:45: Debate on nature-based solutions and coastal landscapes moderated by Ole Fryd. Preliminary participants: Vittore Negretto (IUAV), Mikkel Henriques (Realdania), Katrina Wiberg (AAA), Anna Aslaug Lund and Gertrud Jørgensen (UCPH).

17:15-18:30: Drinks and exhibition.

The 17 SDGs
The topic of the event is climate adaptation of coastal landscapes through nature-based solutions. Thus, the event contributes to the overall goal of the congress by strengthening knowledge and insight on particularly the following SDGs: 11 (Sustainable Cities & Communities), 12 (Responsible Consumption & Production), 13 (Climate Action), 15 (Life on Land).

Accessibility
The tour includes a walk in the Beach Park and bus transport to and from the Beach Park. People with mobility impairment are kindly requested to contact the organisers at of@ign.ku.dk to ensure that proper arrangements are made to accommodate their needs.

We believe this participatory form of communication that reaches across positions, perspectives and geographies is necessary for the ongoing process of collective formulations of architecture’s contribution to the fulfillment of the UN SDGs. We really love the expansion of the collective approach of the Manifesto Relay, bridging across industry and research, and we are certain that it will present a powerful call for action and unison.

- Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen and Martin Tamke, the UIA Scientific Committee

‍

Copenhagen Architecture Festival (CAFx) invites you to join a conversation around the International Manifesto Relay, a provocative collection of 45 manifestos from around the world responding to the central question of the UIA2023CPH: How Can Architecture Contribute To Social And Environmental Change?

The International Manifesto Relay encourages us to rethink the role of the architect in the scope of environmental, economic and technological transformations on a global scale, to reflect on the means currently available to become drivers of change. It mobilizes our field to embrace the lived experiences of urban and rural communities, but also to speculate on what a sustainable future for the planet looks like, and to declare how architects will contribute to achieving it.

A powerful tool to put forth ideas, commitments, agendas, visions for a better architecture, from Malaysia to Mauritius, from Portugal to Japan, the manifestos function as a starting point for a topical discussion on the use of language within the architectural discipline, specifically on the meaning, power, and limitations of the key vocabulary used in architecture today.

The plenary debate will engage the researchers and practitioners that contributed to International Manifesto Relay and the panel comprising Martha Thorne, author of the International Manifesto Relay's preface, and the Chairs of the UIA2023CPH's Research Panels, authors of the publication's six introductory texts. The session is opened by Josephine Michau, founder and director of Copenhagen Architecture Festival, and moderated by Federica Sofia Zambeletti, founder and creative director of KoozArch.

Copenhagen Architecture Festival, in partnership with the Fundació Mies van der Rohe, is presenting a series of three film screenings in the iconic Mies Van Der Rohe Pavilion in Barcelona. These screenings will explore the aesthetics, politics and mythologies of water systems, wetlands and aquatic landscapes and will take place over the next three months.

‍
The series will commence with a simultaneous screening held at both the Cinemateket in Copenhagen and the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion in Barcelona. The featured film for this screening is John Huston's cinematic interpretation of Herman Melville's profound oceanic myth 'Moby Dick'; a sensory cornucopia about humanity's insatiable desire for control over nature, even in the face of inevitable failure and self-destruction.

‍
The film will be introduced by Professor Søren Frank, an expert in comparative literature, renowned author of "A Poetic History of the Oceans," Chair of the advisory board for the Hans Christian Andersen Literature Award, and a highly knowledgeable scholar in maritime literature and culture. Professor Frank's introduction will focus on the Moby Dick myth within a broader historical and philosophical framework, exploring the deep entanglements between habitation, storytelling, and the oceanic realm.

Experiment setup 1-6

(EN)     Architecture critics from Sweden, Norway, and Denmark write critiques of fictional works of architecture. The critical reflection departures in the critics’ own dreams and imagination. The written critiques are handed over to six designers from the three countries who generate form through model and drawing based on the critique. The written critique and the graphic and spatial design representations are presented together in the exhibition.

The supposition behind Damn critics! is that good architecture requires good criticism. Which paths are to be pursued in order to revitalize critical practices within the architectural discipline? What role should architectural criticism play in the future? Under which conditions should criticism and the critics function? And could we establish a common architectural criticism for the Nordic countries? Through experiments placing criticism at the center of investigation, we wish to create an arena for the discussion of these questions. At this moment in time, where architectural criticism is widely considered as a depleted discipline, this project is at once a celebration of criticism and a curious inquiry into its future.

Like many other artistic disciplines, architecture is faced with a number of challenges regarding the shared conversation within the discipline. The critics’ authority is being called into question. Public discussion is strained by endless fora for particular agendas. Internally, the discipline is characterized by a lack of established criteria for the evaluation of architecture. The importance of context, user participation, material qualities, and energy consumption is much disputed. Whether architecture has become a billboard for the promotion of developers or whether nostalgia is taking over the image. The discipline appears to be subdivided into discursive echo chambers that rarely cross paths to reveal ideological differences.

A transformed media landscape has changed the conditions for constructing an architectural frame of reference. Popular websites present an endless stream of architecture projects devoid of critical reflection. Self-published, self-glorifying books released by architecture studios are available at professional book shops as well as in sophisticated clothing shops. There seems to be an infinite number of architecture awards from commercial actors. As the publicly available landscape of architecture continues to grow, it seems still more difficult to locate proper criticism.

In the shortcomings of the architectural criticism, a number of questions arise: How can we practice architecture without discussing its quality and value? How do we determine what concepts to refine and what buildings we would not repeat? What is the relationship between the built and the written in architecture as a cultural institution? Who defines the discipline of architecture and its presentation in history?

This is the territory Damn critics! is stepping into and what the experiment aims to qualify.

(DA)     I JÄVLA KRITIKER!s seks eksperimenter har arkitekturkritikere fra Sverige, Norge og Danmark skrevet kritikker af fiktive værker. Kritikernes idéverden og forestillingsevne er udgangspunkt for den kritiske betragtning. De skriftlige kritikker overleveres til seks formgivende arkitekter fra de tre lande, som giver form til det kritiserede værk. Resultatet er seks værker – opstået imellem kritik og formgivning.
‍

Eksperimenternes omvendte kronologi kaster en række spørgsmål af sig. Har kritikerne følt arkitekternes formgivning som et overgreb på deres skrevne forestilling? Har formgiverne følt kritikernes beskrivelser begrænsende? Eller opstår der i det usædvanlige samarbejde nye frugtbare muligheder for udvikling af arkitektur? Det er spørgsmål besøgende inviteres til at reflektere over i udstillingen.
‍

Udstillingens tværnordiske karakter med bidragsydere parret imellem Norge, Danmark og Sverige giver yderligere dimensioner til eksperimentet. Ser arkitekturkritikken ens ud i de tre lande? Kan vi lære hinanden noget? Forstår vi overhovedet hvad hinanden siger? Med en dialog på tværs ønsker projektet at bane vejen for en fælles nordiskkritikkultur. På vandringen igennem Norden har eksperimenterne været udstillet på Rom for Kunst og Arkitektur i Oslo, Färgfabriken i Stockholm og Form/Design Center i Malmö for nu at afslutte sin rejse på galleriet til:værks i København, hvor udstillingen kan ses fra 22. juni til 08 juli 2023.

(DA)     Udstillingen Perron Ceremoni byder alle og rejsende velkommen i de oprindelige ventesale på Københavns Hovedbanegård som midlertidigt genopstår i en futuristisk version fra d. 15. juni - 9. juli 2023. I salene vil utopiske motiver smelte sammen med hverdagens rum og udfolde de hybrider og ændrede æstetikker, der kan skabe nye drømme om fremtidens kollektive transport.

Den faste udstilling består af mekaniske dioramer med scener ind til fremtidens togrejser designet og skabt af arkitekt Lauge Floris samt bidrag fra andre kunstnere i form af lydværker, tegninger og installationer.

Bidragsydere og samarbejdspartnere inkluderer kunstner- og kuratorgruppen iovermorgen, billedkunstner Maiken Stæhr, organisationen Building Diversity, Kooperativet Flexwerker, fotograf Steffen Poulsen m.fl.

Baggrund for udstillingen

Den offentlige transport har flyttet folk og dannet rammer for poesi, kunst og arkitektur de sidste 175 år. Perron Ceremoni er et projekt, der ikke kun kigger på priser og tider, men skaber motiver af hvordan offentlig transport kan genfortrylles. Danmark er nemlig blevet en bilnation, og før en kulturændring opstår, er der kun et lille håb for en grøn fremtid. Perron Ceremoni skaber drømmebilleder af, hvordan dén kulturændring kan se ud.  

Transportformen er under pres og har gennem de seneste årtier tabt status og blevet en skygge af, hvad den kan være. Det sker, mens flere mennesker anskaffer sig biler end tidligere, men også imens stadigt flere skifter flyet ud med toget. Den offentlige transport og omdømme må gentænkes og genromantiseres. Dette så den peger ind i fremtiden, og ikke bliver en nostalgisk parentes. Perron Ceremoni vil både stille spørgsmål og indikere svar, men først og fremmest invitere til samtale.

‘Perron Ceremoni’ af Drømmekontoret er ikke en udstilling i traditionel forstand, da den ikke er et slutprodukt, men en invitation til at samle forskelligartede stemmer og blik på vores fælles offentlige transport.

Udstillingen er en beskrivelse af de hybrider, og nye æstetikker, som kan være med til at gøre den offentlige transport til en del af vores fælles fremtidsbillede.

(DA)     Støv finder vej overalt og lægger sig på hver en overflade. Det overføres til luften via skorstene og trænger ind i hver en regndråbe. Det bekæmpes og ryddes væk som i en uendelig livsopgave. I denne dokumentarfilm undersøger Hartmut Bitomsky støvets mange former, og forfølger støvets vej til de steder, hvor den møder det mennesker, der kæmper mod det: rengøringsmænd og -kvinder, støvsugerproducenter, husmødre og museumsmedarbejdere. Vi følger botanikere, kunsterne, biologer, filosofier, meteorologer og astronomer, som alle arbejder med forskellige miljø- og sundhedsmæssige konsekvenser af støv. Ved nøje at undersøge et emne, der omgiver os i vores daglige liv, men som vi sjældent er seriøst opmærksomme på, giver Dust os en ny forståelse af de mange måder, hvorpå støv påvirker kroppen, miljøet og kloden.

Filmen introduceres af den finske medieteoretiker og kurator Jussi Parikka, der vil fremlægge hans forskning i relationen mellem støv, medier og arkitektur. Arrangementet er en del af programmet Trivial Matters, der undersøger arkitektoniske materialers æstetik, politik og metafysik. Læs mere om programmet på Cafx.dk.

Kom med på skattejagt for hele familien i Jernbanebyen, hvor de gamle jernbanespor fører jer ud i hemmelige afkroge og ind i fortællinger om kulturhistorien, dem der var, er og kommer i fremtidens ny bydel.

Børn og voksne inviteres til at se på byen med nye øjne, når I skal sanse jer gennem Jernbanebyen og lytte efter bydelens stemmer. I skal på jagt efter seglgræshoppen og dens venner, efter glemte togskinner og gemte grønne oaser. For jernbanebyen er et særligt sted. Her ligger sporene af Danmarks første jernbanestrækning, DSB haller fra industrialiseringens indtog står næsten uberørte, Den Gule By charmerer som sin egen lille landsby, murstensfacaderne er groet til ligesom hvor krat og buske vokser vildt. Bistader og insekter er flyttet ind, sammen med flagermus og sjælne planterarter spredt igennem tiden af godsvognene. Og inde bag de 100 år gamle mursten spirer nyt liv. I træladerne og på værkstederne er nye kreative kræfter kommet til og nogle af dem skal du møde på din vej.

Så tag med på opdagelse i Jenbanebyens historiske lag, fra dengang der var havbund til udviklingen af en ny bydel. For der er store forandringer på vej, når der i fremtiden skal bo over 8000 mennesker i Jernbanebyen.

Dogma talk vol. IV with Les Marneurs

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.

Everything that develops and changes in nature is folded: mountains, blossoms, the brain. Life is an unending series of folding and unfolding. It’s the most economical and efficient process in the natural world.

And it is not only design. Folding determines also function. Today researchers in robotics, medicine, biology, nanotechnologies, are embracing this “origami philosophy”. They are looking at how materials and molecules wrinkle, drape, flex and crease, refining origami techniques, and trying better to understand and duplicate nature’s universal folding principles.

‍The Origami Code explores this silent deciphering and mastering of a completely new dimension of reality. The film explores how the ancient art of folding paper has entered the cutting-edge domains of research and now could lead the way to the ultimate stage in bionics.

The City will Eat Itself!
Join us in a conversation to address questions of urban resilience. Through the lens of food and waste systems, we explore how they influence our daily experiences and affect our collective future.
  • Varighed

    Seminar
  • Language

  • Aldersgrænse

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.


Program:
‍

Part 1: The Self-Sufficient City

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?

Part 2: ‘What is Waste’

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’?

Moderated and hosted by:
Enlai Hooi, Head of Innovation, Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects

With contributing guests:
‍
- Camilla van Deurs, Kobenhavns, Kommune Stadsarkitekt Klima og Byudvikling
- Sophia Schuff, Anthropologist and Director, Gehl Architects

12.00-14.00: The City will Eat Itself! (EN)

To address questions of urban resilience, Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects brings together insightful thought leaders of different scales to take part in a 2-part series of discussions to investigate how our food and waste systems influence our daily experiences and affect our collective future. The event is free with registration.

14.15-15.00: Ecologise the Political! (DA)

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.

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

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.

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.

Fremtidens bynatur i Jernbanebyen
Gående samtale med ‘urban hortoculturalist’ Morten Leicht Jeppsen og billedkunstner Camilla Berner, som gør os klogere på visionen om at skabe en ny type bynatur med afsæt i Jernbanebyens selvgroede natur.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Guests:

  • Maarten Gielen, partner in Rotor, a Belgian office known for their radically regenerative practice and research of architecture (BE)
  • Søren Pihlmann, architect and founding partner in the architectural office Søren Pihlmann specialised in upcycling and experimental transformation.
  • Skye Jin is a multimedia artist MFA and permaculture designer and educator. Founder of Art+Science+Permaculture and GardeningisActivism.com working with the the role of aesthetics in the climate crisis and community co-creation. Co-editor of the magazine PERMAKULTUR.
  • Kristoffer Weiss, philosopher, director of The Danish Architectural Press, former partner in EFFEKT

The event is supported by Hub Brussels and Velux.

Trivial Matters IV: WASTE with an introductory lecture by Sandra Bartoli [CANCELLED]

'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.
