How will we live in 2050? ran from 26 Feb to 11 Jun 2025 as a free screening in DAC Passage, showing four short films by Hahn Lavsen, Atelier for Byers Rum, Os Arkitekter and DETBLÅ outlining visions for Denmark in 2050.
You could see four architecture firms present their visions of future living for free in DAC Passage.
Climate, environmental, and biodiversity crises are forcing us to rethink almost everything we do. This is especially true for the construction industry, which is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to resource consumption and carbon emissions. Architecture plays a crucial role in creating a green and more sustainable future. But what does that future actually look like? And what will it take to design a new Denmark?
Four Danish architecture firms – Hahn Lavsen, Atelier for Byers Rum, Os Arkitekter and DETBLÅ – answered these questions in a series of short films. Together, the films made up the campaign How will we live in 2050?
