Dreyer’s Architecture Gallery 2017: Transformation by lenschow & pihlmann, Arcgency and Studio Fountainhead
Exhibition
Oct 12 - Dec 30, 2017
Dreyer’s Architecture Gallery 2017 was a series of three individual exhibitions featuring lenschow & pihlmann, Arcgency and Studio Fountainhead—emerging practices focused on transformation and renovation of existing buildings.
In a series of three individual exhibitions we encountered three newly established architecture companies: lenschow & pihlmann, Arcgency and Studio Fountainhead. What they all had in common was their position as up and coming studios in the world of Danish architecture and the fact that they had all been awarded the Dreyer Foundation scholarship for enhancing the business potential of newly established architectural practices.
What they also had in common was the fact that they had all worked on the transformation/renovation of old buildings: a practice that has gained renewed interest in the architecture profession in recent years. Argency was responsible for the successful transformation of Absalon Church into a culture center; lenschow & pihlmann were in the process of transforming an old farm in Jutland into student housing; and Studio Fountainhead renovated the house of the painter, Richard Winther.
- Exhibition 1: lenschow & pihlmann, 12 October – 4 November 2017
- Exhibition 2: Arcgency, 9 November – 2 December 2017
- Exhibition 3: Studio Fountainhead, 7 December – 30 December 2017
The exhibition provided visitors with a unique glimpse into the day-to-day activities and reality of the architecture practices, where there was a fast pace and a diversity of ideas, and where creativity and a sense of business go hand in hand.
Dreyer Architecture Gallery is part of the Dreyer Foundation’s special focus on newly established architecture practices. The architecture practices featured in the Gallery have all attended a course of professionalisation workshops aimed at enhancing their business potential.
