A number of young Danish architects have been awarded grants. In 2007 and 2008, the Foundation organised international competitions in the fields of architectural photography and architectural drawing.
The objective of the non-profit and charitable Foundation is to support Danish architecture, e.g. through further training; travelling grants; exhibition activities; publication of books on architecture; development and implementation of information technology for architectural purposes and the awarding of grants - in acknowledgement of architects who have developed significant buildings or demonstrated other achievements of high quality.
The Foundation is a natural extension of Henning Larsen’s interest in promoting and disseminating architecture - in parallel to his work as an architect and his professorship at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture. This interest is also reflected in the establishment of the SKALA architectural gallery and SKALA architecture magazine in the eighties.
The Board consists of:
Professor, architect Henning Larsen (Chairman)
CEO, architect Kent Martinussen, Danish Architecture Centre
Architect Troels Troelsen
MA Lone Backe
Lawyer Carsten Malby
2011: Journalist Henrik Sten Møller and architect Kjeld Kjeldsen
