How can we make space for both people and nature in a rapidly changing world? In the fall of 2025, Danish Architecture Center presents a major exhibition exploring the relationship between architecture, nature, people, and biodiversity – and asks: How can architecture help us create a future where both nature and humans can thrive? 

Denmark is one of the most intensively cultivated countries in the world, with only 0.7% of its land classified as wild nature. At the same time, the demand for space for green energy, urban development, and climate infrastructure continues to grow. Should we impose building bans in certain areas to make room for nature? Should cities be densified to preserve the landscapes beyond? Or can we create a future where both humans and nature get the space they need? 

The exhibition delves into these dilemmas and poses questions that demand more than technical solutions. To ensure biodiversity and balance, we need to refine the way we talk about nature. Perhaps even adopt an entirely new perspective on nature, where we recognize that we are nature ourselves and see nature as a collaborator and an intrinsic value, not merely a resource for humanity. 

The exhibition invites visitors on a journey of discovery, exploring how architecture can play a crucial role in protecting nature and fostering biodiversity.
