The exhibition presents ten Danish architectural firms’ expertise and visions for sustainable architecture and each office’s contribution consists of an interview and project presentation. The programme opens with Charlotte Falstrup from White in Næstved being interviewed by the architects Line Nelund Dross and Julien Mizermont from Un souffle sur la ville, who want to create a personal portrait of an architect committed to sustainability issues.

As an extra feature, posters of the project will be exhibited in set design format and built up using vegetable cartons. Charlotte Falstrup also made the model of White’s set design. The chosen project is “Rede I vassen” (Nest in the reeds), a visitor centre in Kristianstad designed by the architect Fredrik Pettersson at White in Copenhagen.

The exhibition opening will be at 7 p.m. on 5 February and the exhibition will run until 8 March.

The participating firms of architects are:
BSAA, Christensen & CO arkitekter, Claus Hermansen Arkitekter, Cobe arkitekter, Dorte Mandrup arkitekter, SEA, EFFEKT, KHR arkitekter, Vandkunsten and White arkitekter.
