YOUR VOICE MATTERS

The UIA World Congress of Architects is serious on involving students and young professionals all of which have a bearing on the built environment. The programme already includes sessions curated…

NEW: A GUIDE ON DANISH ARCHITECTURE!

There are many existing solutions that focus on architecture and sustainability and illustrate how architecture can contribute to the realisation of the Global Goals.

BOOK TOURS & SOCIAL EVENTS

Make sure to book tours at the end of each congress day and reserve your seat for unique experiences at historic Copenhagen City Hall or converted industrial area Øksnehallen.

THE CITY OF COPENHAGEN

The World Congress takes place in Copenhagen, Denmark,  appointed UNESCO UIA World Capital of Architecture 2023. The whole city will be a vibrant stage of events and invitations to celebrate sustainable urban development – culminating in the World Congress at Bella Center in July. It is a city that mixes green mindset with ingenuity and fun. The city is built for bike rides, the harbour has been repurposed for swimming, parks, gardens and small green oases are sprinkled all over town. Copenhagen offers excellent opportunities to explore the city, whether by foot, bike or wheelchair.

THE VENUE:
BELLA CENTER

Bella Center Copenhagen is well situated in one of Copenhagen’s newer districts Ørestad – close to both airport and city centre by bike or metro. You will see it as never before – a vibrant stage of unique meeting places, a celebration of universal design, explorative constructions and wayfinding to guide you.

Accessibility is our priority. Meeting rooms and larger halls have lifts available. Auditoriums can be accessed via stages. Service animals are welcome. Entrances to the venue are accessible.

NEW GUIDE ON DANISH ARCHITECTURE

The Danish Association of Architects has published a brand new guidebook entitled “A Guide to Danish Architecture – Towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals” . 60 Danish Architectural projects, contributing to one or more of the goals. As it says in the book’s preface ‘Architects have the power to change habits and behaviors when it comes to our built infrastructure and approach to the nature that surrounds us.’ These examples are hopefully a inspiration to create a better world, for all of us.

The OBEL AWARD brings you a statement piece during the World Congress: ​

The OBEL AWARD: UnPAVILION will be floating around the Copenhagen harbour, prompting curiosity, debate, and reflection on our contemporary and future uses of resources. It also points to the counterproductive nature of greenwashing.​

Make sure to go explore all the SDG pavilions at the start of July! ​

The project is presented by the Danish Association of Architects and the UIA World Congress of Architects Copenhagen in collaboration with the City of Copenhagen and CPH City and Port Development. The pavilions are created in relation to the World Congress, and present activities to congress guests and visitors throughout the summer to celebrate Copenhagen as the World Capital of Architecture in 2023.​

We simply couldn´t agree more! ​

‘When we talk about rebuilding, it´s also about rebuilding our attitude and acting like a community, a collective force to do the right thing.’ -Rizvi Hassan, Architect, Bangladesh​

Meet three of the architects behind the 96m2 big Rebuilding pavilion, produced by Royal Danish Academy. The pavilion will be exhibited at the World Congress in Bella Center this summer​
