This event is an official side-event of the UIA World Congress of Architects and will be held in collaboration with Danish Architecture Center.
On Wednesday, July 5, 2023 at the Danish Architecture Center (DAC) in Copenhagen, AnA will bring together a renowned Danish city planner and two distinguished international architects from Germany and Australia, who will talk about their personal experiences and the influences that impacted them as architects in the most important creative periods in their lives:
– Jan Gehl, Professor and Architect, Copenhagen
– Anna Heringer, Studio Anna Heringer, Laufen – www.anna-heringer.com/vision
– Kerstin Thompson, Kerstin Thompson Architects, Melbourne – www.kerstinthompson.com
“Architects, not Architecture”, or “AnA”, gives guests the chance to get to know world-renowned architects on a more personal level as there is only one golden rule: speakers are not allowed to talk about their architectural projects. This has allowed audiences around the globe to enjoy unique personal content since the format was introduced in 2015.
Doors open at 18:00.
The talks start at 18:30.
This event is kindly supported by EQUITONE, JUNG, and LAUFEN, and in collaboration with Danish Architecture Center.
The event ticket gives you free access to the exhibitions at Danish Architecture Center. Make sure you don’t miss them! https://dac.dk/en/exhibitions#current

The event venue
Silent Green Kulturquartier is an event venue and independent project that has found a unique home in Berlin in the historic premises of the former crematorium in Wedding. The heart of silent green is the Kuppelhalle, with its 17 meter tall dome. The architectural layout, pyramid-shaped mansard roof, and the historical terrazzo floor of the hall make it a distinctive venue that instantly turns every event into an extraordinary experience.
Let’s explore circular building together
The challenge of our generation is to build with a lighter impact. Knowing that the building industry is key to tackling climate change, we as a façade material producer want to do more than just transform our materials. By 2030, we want to forge new and innovative partnerships, trailblaze transparency across the value chain and establish a sustainability council of external experts to stay on track to full circularity.
