Event text
One year after Architects, not Architecture held their first event in Copenhagen, this uncommon event format will be back in Denmark at Queen’s Hall, Royal Library, on 10th October. Architects, not Architecture or “AnA” – as the name suggests – provides a glimpse into the intellectual biography of great personalities of architecture. The event series is not built around the architects’ projects, but around them as individuals, their professional backgrounds and formative individual experiences that shaped the projects we all know.
On 10th October, two well-known Danish architects and one special guest are going to talk about their personal experiences and important creative periods in their lives and, as always at “AnA“, not a word may be lost about their projects:
- Dan Stubbergaard, founder of COBE, Copenhagen, www.cobe.dk
- Sheila O’Donnell, founder of O’Donnell+Tuomey, Dublin, www.odonnell-tuomey.ie
- Morten Schmidt, co-founder of Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects, Aarhus, www.shl.dk
The event will be held in English.
The Irish architect Sheila O’Donnell’s work has continued to develop the spirit of architectural, social and cultural investigation which characterized her exploratory activities in the early 1980s. She was awarded the RIBA Royal Gold Medal in 2015, given for a lifetime’s work and in the same year received the Brunner Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, given for significant contribution to architecture as an art. Morten Schmidt’s early education in a Waldorf school, which emphasizes the role of imagination in learning, is a foundation for the spirituality, creativity and artistic freedom that permeate his work. His expertise includes creating and communicating compelling design visions, advocating for design excellence, and building for enduring quality. Dan Stubbergaard founded COBE in 2006 in Nordhavn, Copenhagen, where architecture is not a matter of a certain style or form, but more importantly its adaptability to the local context, its social life and its users. COBE has created numerous award-winning projects and currently employs approximately 130 people.
This event is kindly supported by our partners BoConcept, Schüco, JUNG and FSB.
