We present a wayfinding strategy and elements created by Copenhagen based students from the School of Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy, NEXT & University of Copenhagen. 70 students work together this spring to design a wayfinding strategy based on inclusivity and universal design principles. The Danish association of young people with disabilities (SUMH) has given feedback to the students’ projects during the course. The goal of the installation is to lead guests from the metro station to Bella Center main entrance. After the World Congress, the elements will be moved to other locations in Copenhagen. Partners involved in this project is Danske Landskabsarkitekter, NEXT, KU, KADK, Københavns Kommune, ØICC and the UIA World Congress.

We present #seaweedselfie made by Studio Kathryn Larsen, which designs for people and the planet. With #seaweedselfie, we are reimagining what a selfie wall can be, using seaweed bioplastic, algae pigments, and traditional natural paint. The climate crisis has impacted how our generation interprets the field of architecture – but with creativity, collaboration and action, we can unite and make a difference. Social media has inherently played a strong role in both activism, as well as creative expression. To learn more visit Studio Kathryn Larsen.

SESSIONS AND EXHIBITION OF THE STUDENTS’ WORK ON SITE

The GLOBAL STUDENT SUMMIT is a project engaging students from all continents to come together and work towards a common goal of creating sustainable futures that leave no one behind. Through the power of collaboration and critical thinking, students from 24 universities worldwide are spending this semester researching and proposing innovative architectural and urban projects that address the six themes of the UIA World Congress: Climate Adaptation, Health, Inclusivity, Resilient Communities, Rethinking Resources, and Partnerships for Change.

The second part of the summit will feature a two-day event where the students will have the opportunity to meet in Copenhagen to share and discuss their critical thoughts and discoveries. Through this summit, we foster a global dialogue that transcends borders, professions, and skill sets. We work together to address the pressing issues facing our planet and create a sustainable future for generations to come.

So Young Kim, the Global Student Summit Director, is working closely together with tutors and students from all 24 universities in this no border collaboration and organizing the student projects, meetups, and the exhibition.

Please direct questions to So Young Kim, Professor at Hanyang University.

We present this installation created by The Academy´s Climate Group – a student organization at the Royal Danish Academy – Architecture, Design, Conservation.

It’s an installation that invites you to enter a space created and dedicated to utopian thinking. In order to change our current situation, (from the state of crisis) we need to not only think of solutions that can be realized within our current systems, but also practice the act of thinking outside of those. Dreaming is a part of molding a new world. Therefore this installation suggests that we think about utopias and ask ourselves: how do we actually want to be human on this planet if nothing is impossible?

We present this Gobelin artwork from the inspiring visual artist Tuva Victoria B. Nesse.

It’s a modern take on the Danish Queen’s tapestries, focusing on historical events from the 21st century. A lot has happened since the queen’s tapestries were made, and this is what the tapestry is communicating with a humoristic approach. The project aims to raise questions regarding our modern society and how historical events from the 21st century have affected our everyday lives.
