The jury member and head of pavillons at CAFx discusses her ambitions for the competition for a pair of temporary pavilions at the inaugural Copenhagen Architecture BiennialIda Willadsen Bang KjeldsenWhy are you holding a competition for a pair of new slow pavilions for the Copenhagen Architecture Biennial 2025?To raise awareness about the way we need to transform the building industry to create a more sustainable building sector, which currently accounts for an unsustainable 38 per cent of the worlds CO emissions.Reusing existing structures and materials and ensuring that what we construct can easily be disassembled and reassembled are important steps toward sustainability. Making sure that structures can be repurposed and reused while incorporating biogenic materials is also an important effort that we encourage with our competition.These pavilions are meant to serve as inspiring examples its just a matter of getting started.What is your ambition for these new temporary structures and how they will enhance the Copenhagen Architecture Biennial 2025?To serve as inspirational prototypes showing how we can build for the future. They will also serve as physical gathering places where important discussions about our shared built future can take place.What sort of teams would you like to see step forward for this unique opportunity?We welcome a wide range of spatial practitioners who have a regenerative ethic and aesthetic agenda that will surprise and inspire. We believe that collaborations across disciplines, cultures, generations, and/or methodologies are the way forward.2025-02-24Merlin Fulcher Share
