Connect and collaborate: Sustainable urbanization, architecture, design and creativity
How do you design the future?
For the built environment it calls for new approaches and ways of collaborating. So sustainable change becomes the irresistible choice.
BLOX in Copenhagen is a local and global epicenter that gathers the latest practices across sustainable urbanization, architecture, design and creativity. We invite everyone to be a part of it.
This happens through BLOX’s four organizations:
- BLOXHUB
- Danish Architecture Center
- DDC - Danish Design Center
- Creative Denmark
Danish Architecture Center takes you close to the future of architecture: Stop by the exhibitions or one of the events, where the public and leading practitioners share a conversation on what architecture should do.
DDC - Danish Design Center helps you use new design methodologies: Try them in your company or municipality, if you want to explore sustainable growth. A great place to start is the Circular Value Chain Tool.
Creative Denmark creates awareness about Danish creativity and assist you in exploring creative solutions with potential to drive sustainability and quality of life. Read their latest publications or book an on-site delegation visit.
Be inspired by sustainability practices from our community
Camilla van Deurs, Chief City Architect for the City of Copenhagen, underlines that cities should share their work closer:
“Every city has different challenges that are tied to place, culture, history, and legislation. But the high-level problems - such as massive influxes of people to cities combined with lack of affordable housing and biodiversity - are challenges we share.”
Helle Søholt, CEO and Founding Partner at Gehl Architects, observes that the complexity of making a city sustainable has updated her toolkit:
“We reach beyond the traditional value chain of architecture and engineering. For instance, we have a public health specialist on our team that makes it possible for us to address disease prevention within urban design.”
Lone Feifer, Director for Sustainable Buildings in the Velux Group, recognizes that reducing the building industry’s negative impact is a design process too:
“It might take several years, but we can approach it as a structured process and try to move from A to B. A framework creates a sense of security in the face of sprawling, complex questions.”
Peter Fisher, Co-Founder & CTO at Khora Virtual Reality, identifies VR as a tool for the architectural, design and urban planning industries that can make work more collaborative and inclusive of citizens:
“It will eventually make it possible for a team to review a city plan in 3D and easily switch from an overview to the pedestrian’s perspective and go below ground to layers of sewage.”
