Copenhagen, Denmark
Join the AIA Committee on Design in conjunction with the AIA
Historic Resources Committee and the Danish Architecture Centre for
a conference celebrating Danish modern architecture and design.
Come experience one of the most livable cities in the world and

and the opportunity to network with Danish
colleagues.

tour.

We will take an in-depth walking tour of wonderful Copenhagen
highlighting several centuries of architecture and design from the
seventeenth century of Christian IV to the twentieth century of
Arne Jacobsen. We will conclude the evening getting to know our
Danish architect hosts by dining in their offices.
Tuesday September 2nd:
We will take a bus tour to see the highlights of Danish Modernism
in the Copenhagen area that will highlight works by Arne Jacobsen
and Jorn Utzon, as well as Zaha Hadid. We will also make a special
stop at the world famous art museum Louisiana by Wohlert & Bo
and the World Heritage site, Kronborg Castle. The evening will end
with a candlelit dinner hosted by the famous furniture maker, Fritz
Hansen at its state of the art facility.
Wednesday September 3rd:
We will explore the exciting new work being done by the new
generation of Danish architects. A few minute ride on the brand new
Metro will deliver us to Orestad; a whole new section of the city

also visit the architecture school of the Royal Academy and get a
behind the scenes tour of new Royal Opera House by Henning Larsen,
HFAIA.
Thursday September 4th:
We will begin the day exploring current issues of architecture in
small workshops with our Danish architect colleagues. In groups of
fifteen to twenty we will delve deep into some of the common issues
facing architects in the U.S. and Denmark today. This will be a
unique opportunity to share experiences in an international
setting. The discussions of the morning will continue over lunch
hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
During the afternoon, participants may choose to visit the Danish
Design center, or explore Denmark’s ancient roots by visiting
the reconstructed Iron Age village of Lejre, the medieval Roskilde
Cathedral (a world Heritage site) and the Viking Ship Museum.
The entire group will gather again for a closing dinner celebration
at the famous Tivoli Gardens in the heart of Copenhagen.
We hope you will be able to join us! Please mark your calendar and
