Denmark

The exhibition With Love from Spain in Aalborg, Denmark, is a collaboration between Utzon Center and the Aarhus School of Architecture. It is based on the research project “Escandinavia - Architectural dialogues between Denmark and Spain”, which investigates the fortunate parallelisms, influences and translations between Nordic and Spanish architectural cultures. The origin of this long-term affinity is to be found in the significant interest that Spanish architects had in Nordic architecture, extensively focused on its Modern Masters: Alvar Aalto, Erik Gunnar Asplund, Sigurd Lewerentz, Sverre Fehn, Arne Jacobsen, and Jørn Utzon.

Aarhus School of Architecture is moving into Denmark’s first new-built architecture school. We celebrate the move in October by hosting an architecture festival for the entire industry and other architecture enthusiasts.

The Royal Danish Academy’s Institute of Architecture and Design and Grundejernes Investeringsfond (Danish Landowners' Investment Fund) invite architects, building industry actors and homeowners to a public presentation and discussion of graduate student Claire Kimball Johnson’s thesis project A Renovation Wave for Denmark – a strategy to increase architect-led sustainable renovations of private residential properties in Denmark. The project is a response to the EU Commission’s New European Bauhaus – a call for high-quality, sustainable and inclusive design solutions.

On Thursday, May 27th, 2021 live at 19:00 CEST we will “visit” Denmark and meet two of its most relevant architects. If you can’t make it live, save the link and watch it later.
