Join the next “modern conversation”: we examine the relationship between time, modernity, and architecture, searching for traces of time. We aim to reflect on the connection between the built environment and the regulation of time, whether through obvious examples like clock towers or less obvious ones such as religious and industrial buildings. What is the relationship between the regulation of time and modernity? How has the introduction of certain structures and typologies shifted our understanding of time and the way we quantify it? What constitutes architecture that is strongly connected to time, and what is truly timeless? What ruptures occur that challenge such architecture?

Scaling for Enough – How do we scale solutions while knowing the limit of "enough"? Imagine a construction industry not only driven by profit and growth, but also by sufficiency, care, long-term visions, and urgent action. This year's theme at Building Green CPH is "Scaling for Enough", unfolding across five stages at Lokomotivværkstedet in central Copenhagen on 29–30 October. Together, we will explore concepts such as moderation and sufficiency in a time when construction must both slow down and reduce emissions, while simultaneously finding solutions that create more affordable housing. Join us in identifying our real needs and, with sufficiency in mind, discovering solutions that can truly make a difference and ensuring they become widely accessible.
Small Lots, Big Impacts Design Competition, cityLAB – UCLA, 2025
This panel discussion will explore how the right to housing—in Los Angeles and globally—isn’t just a political, legal and economic issue, but also an architectural one. What does the right to housing mean in practice? And how can designers contribute? Moderators Dana Cuff (cityLAB UCLA) and Karen Kubey (University of Toronto) will be joined by architect Julie Eizenberg and Professor of Urban Planning Ananya Roy to discuss these urgent questions and examine promising housing models, laying the groundwork for ways forward.
