Paraply School

The goal of the workshop is to address the transformation of the field of architecture toward creative and resourceful practices, while contemplating the world to come through a celebration of renewal. What brought us here, and more pertinently, where are we going? What will we take with us, and what needs to be left behind? The student union at the Royal Danish Academy have invited a selection of international architects to host the workshop in Copenhagen. They will each use their unique experience to guide a group of international and Danish students through a collaborative exploration of the architecture of the everyday. The workshop will offer an environment in which participants work closely with workshop leaders, engaging interactively with its key themes. A series of talks, collective meals and observations of the city are woven into the programme. Starting on Friday morning, August 10, the workshop will offer an intense 8 day programme, ending on Friday evening, August 18. There will be 3 days of preparation, 4 days of hands-on work, and 1 day for final reviews and reflective conversations.
