The audience is invited to visit the living lab of Copenhagen and explore how Copenhagen offers hundreds of architectural answers to the all-important question: what makes a livable city?
In the course of the past twenty years, Copenhagen has been a living lab of sustainable urban development. Danish and international architects, urban planners, investors, politicians, and the general public have explored the city’s potential with determination, courage and curiosity to experiment with different strategies.
As a result Copenhagen has changed radically – not only in its architecture but also in the way the inhabitants use and live in the city. New connections with the Metro and bicycle routes have been implemented, new urban spaces and new public buildings created, and new ways of living, working, going to school and spending leisure time emerged. Each of these provides new suggestions in regard to how the urban challenges of cities can be met with architectural answers.
The official Danish contribution to the 12th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia is curated and produced by the Danish Architecture Centre and sponsored by: The Danish Ministry of Culture, Realdania, The Danish Arts Foundation, CPH City & Port Development, Carlsberg, Copenhagen X.
