Der er også et fokus på hvad vi kan lære fra lignende udviklingsprojekter i Danmark. Dette er den anden af i alt tre debatter omkring den almene boligsektor i Danmark.

10 Dogmas: Beyond Urban Leftovers with Alberto Roncelli
Copenhagen Architecture Forum's Podcast
06/19/24 • 13 min
Over the past 50 years in Copenhagen, as in many other European cities, the area between the old city centre and the suburban periphery has undergone significant development, resulting in a diverse range of urban typologies and mixed functions. This rich and ongoing transformation has created a considerable number of neglected and underutilised spaces. Often due to their unusual spatial conditions, limited dimensions or outdated building regulations, these spaces are today left untouched and unloved, seen as natural and inevitable by-products of urban development.
Considering contemporary challenges such as densification, Alberto Roncelli explores the potential of these spaces as key components of resilient development. Part of the Nordvest neighbourhood in Copenhagen has been selected as a pilot area and used as a case study for mapping and design exploration.

Bygningspræmieringen 2024
Copenhagen Architecture Forum's Podcast
06/17/24 • 33 min
Hvordan sikrer man, at de mange projekter giver noget tilbage til byen? Hvad betyder æstetikken for vores liv i byen og hvordan sikres æstetiske kvaliteter når mange hensyn skal tages i udviklingen af projekter og byområder i forhold til bæredygtighed, økonomi, pladsmangel og andre begrænsninger.
Siden 1903 har Københavns Kommune præmieret bygninger, der i særlig grad har formået at fremme kvaliteten af byens fysiske rammer. Hensigten er at rette opmærksomheden imod særligt vellykkede byggerier og byrum for at anerkende indsatsen fra arkitekter og bygherrer, der bidrager til at skabe en god by.

Anthropologist Jeanette Lykkegård Looks to Nomadism for New Ways of Living
Copenhagen Architecture Forum's Podcast
01/23/25 • 57 min
What can nomadic cultures teach us about architecture, design, and our connection to the environment? In this episode, anthropologist Jeanette Lykkegård, architect Pavels Hedström, and Søren Nørkjær Bang, curator at the Copenhagen Architecture Forum, explore the relationship between nomadism, space and habitation. The conversation examines how nomadism fosters a deep connection to the environment through movement and exposure, contrasting this with the Western focus on controlled, comfort-driven environments that often distance us from the natural world.
The discussion reevaluates the concept of control, questioning whether modern architecture has led us into a “comfort trap” that diminishes our sense of vitality and connection. Lykkegård, Hedström, and Bang reflect on how nomadism offers new perspectives for thinking about design and habitation—focusing on adaptability, responsiveness, and a more meaningful relationship with the world around us.
This podcast is part of the event series 'Strange Adaptions' with architect Pavels Hedström.
