    Aarhus School of Architecture – Are You There?

    Ever since it was founded, Aarhus School of Architecture has been a prominent cultural and educational institution in the city. How do we ensure that the school continues to play a role in the development of the city as a platform for important critical debates about future architecture and urban environments? How do we train architects to handle a reality dominated by developers’ sky-high dreams while preserving the city’s qualities?

    Rune Kilden (DK) is an urban developer and co-founder of Kilden & Hindby. Among other works of architecture, Rune Kilden is behind Pakhusene (The Warehouses) and of Lighthouse, which is nominated for Office Architecture of the Year 2021. He received the honorary award De Gyldne Søm (The Golden Nails) from Byggesocietetet (Danish Building Society) in 2017.

    Aysha Amin, Tom Nielsen, Keld Albrecthsen and Ellen Braae

    Transformation or Destruction of Ideas?

    The cultural legacy of modernist architecture represents one of the most complete and comprehensive conceptual complexes in architecture history. On the one hand, the architectural ambitions are recognized as idealistic answers to the time’s major housing and social challenges. On the other hand, there is an obvious need to provide new answers to how we can bring modernist housing developments into the future. Is it sufficient to knock a hole in the wall, or do we need to dig deeper and look at the structural problems caused by the demographic makeup of these housing estates?

    Aysha Amin (DK) is a gallery owner, activist, project manager, curator and co-founder of the art and culture platform Andromeda8220, based in Gellerup and the Aarhus correspondent writer for the international architecture magazine and platform The Funambulist, engaging with the politics of space and bodies. Amin’s works have been exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2018 and DAAD Galerie during the Berlin Biennale 2020, among other places.

    Bjarke Ingels, Signe Kongebro and Ricelli Laplace Resende

    Aarhus – Mars, return

    New robot technology, AI and digital programs are the architect’s new tools and lead to profound changes in the way architecture is conceived, designed and built. But are space colonies an answer to overpopulation, climate challenges and resource depletion? After exploiting and colonizing the earth, should we follow the money – and Elon Musk – to the playground of the privileged weightless few, or should we fix the problems on planet Earth – staying with the trouble, leaving no one behind?

    Bjarke Ingels (DK) is an architect, founder and creative partner of Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and has won numerous competitions. Ingels is, e.g. known for housing complexes in Ørestaden, VIA 57 West in Manhattan, Superkilen, Amager Resource Center, and collaboration with Elon Musk about architecture on Mars.

    Signe Kongebro (DK) is an architect and partner at Henning Larsen Architects. Kongebro is the Global Design Director and founder of the sustainability department at Henning Larsen. The studio has received The European Prize for Architecture 2019 for its sustainable architecture.

Ricelli is currently completing the PhD ‘Responsible Architecture: participatory learning for sustainable behaviour in design’.

    Emmy Laura Perez Fjalland, Flemming Rafn Thomsen, Mette Tony and Marianne Krogh

    Last-Minute Architecture

    The climate crisis has led to a paradigm shift in architecture that is unprecedented since the Modern Breakthrough. Established dogma and norms for quality and design are being challenged, and resource consumption in the building industry is facing radical changes. How do we strike the right balance between quick and long-term solutions, between greenwashing and architectural sustainability?

    Emmy Laura Perez Fjalland (DK) is an external lecturer (PhD) at Roskilde University, writer, curator and guest lecturer at the Royal Danish Academy – Architecture, Design and Conservation. Among other platforms, Fjalland curates the Føljeton (Serial) newsletter ‘Jordbo’ (Earthling), which focuses on the ecological crisis.

    Sumayya Vally

    Counter Current

    Listen carefully when the founder of the Johannesburg-based collaborative architectural studio Counterspace presents a practice that occupies a space between the functional and the speculative, pedagogy and practice.

As the final keynote speaker, Symayya Vally will take us on both a critical and visionary ride – staying with the trouble.
