"Changing Our Footprint" is now available digitally
From Berlin to Hamburg to Copenhagen, our exhibition started many discussions in 2023. Now it has a new digital home to take the conversation further.
The construction industry is accountable for 40% of global emissions, a painful truth that fuels our drive and responsibility to change. To address the construction industry’s outsized environmental footprint, 'Changing Our Footprint' embraces the responsibility for change by presenting a hopeful and optimistic path forward.
We have designed a digital twin gathering the exhibition’s contents into a single virtual location that is now available to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
The concepts, projects, models, and materials exhibited represent our scalable steps, as we progress towards a desirable future through research, testing and continuous learning. Celebrating the use of biogenic resources, including wood, straw, eelgrass, and mycelium as well as reused and upcycled materials, the exhibition looks broadly at alternatives to conventional practice. Ranging from decarbonization and 3D printing, to transformations and design for disassembly, the topics presented showcase our efforts within innovation and our steadfast commitment to push the boundaries of design.
As an experienced studio with a global presence, we embrace the responsibility of being in a continuous state of movement - bettering ourselves and our ways to meet the needs of both people and the planet.
This has led us to embark upon the explorative and collaborative journey of changing our footprint.
While we can’t have all the answers now, we are ready to ask some difficult questions. Join us as we walk this path.
'Changing Our Footprint's' digital twin can be found here.
Through 2023, the exhibition was first shown at Aedes Architecture Forum in Berlin, then making its way to AIT Arkitektur Salon in Hamburg.
More recently, 'Changing Our Footprint' has evolved, discussing scalable solutions that can lower the immense carbon footprint of the construction industry. The exhibition has been curated for the Gallery Stairs in the Danish Architecture Center in Copenhagen, and is open for visitors until March 3rd 2024.
