Copenhagen in Common – mini version of the exhibition at DAC - Danish Architecture Center

Exhibition

Jun 12 - Nov 17, 2024

The exhibition Copenhagen in Common – mini in 2024 was a condensed version of Copenhagen in Common (2023), exploring how architecture and public space shape community in Copenhagen.

It was about Copenhagen, and it was about communities: How does architecture shape the way we interact and come together?

This mini-exhibition was a distillation of our large, critically acclaimed 2023 exhibition about Copenhagen

We focused on Copenhagen and took a closer look at some of the places where the sense of community thrives. We asked the locals, newcomers, commuters, and tourists: Where is Copenhagen at its best? Where do they feel most at home in the city? Which urban spaces fall short? And we heard from the architects behind the projects: What succeeded? What were they particularly proud of? And what could be improved?
