MIND YOUR BEHAVIOUR
12.02.2010 - 13.05.2010
Strandgade 27B, DK-1401 Danish Architecture Centre Copenhagen, Denmark
MIND YOUR BEHAVIOUR invites you to step in behind the scenes at one of the largest and most successful architectural companies in Denmark, 3XN, known for prestigious projects such as:the new Denmarks Aquarium, The Blue Planet Saxo Banks award-winning head offices and the Danish Embassy in Berlin.
The exhibition is based on 3XNs most recent and remarkable projects, and provides an insight into the thoughts, visions and processes that lie behind 3XNs architecture. 3XN has carved out a unique position for itself within Danish architecture and is a strong presence internationally - thanks to the studios spectacular buildings, a firm focus on innovation and not least the important position given to human behaviour.
MIND YOUR BEHAVIOUR focuses on and challenges the concept of behaviour as expressed in seven themes directly associated with the design universe of its architectural practice. These themes of Cultural Behaviour, Learning Behaviour Human Behaviour Social Behaviour Public Behaviour, Building Behaviour, and Responsible Behaviour, place focus on that which happens when architecture shapes behaviour and indeed when architecture through its own behaviour shapes our lives and relationships.
Our objective is to give the audience a direct, sensual experience of how architecture affect the way we experience things and interact with each other. At the same time, MIND YOUR BEHAVIOUR initiates the public into the thoughts and processes that lie behind 3XNs architecture, says Kim Herforth Nielsen, Principal of 3XN.
The sensual experience of architecture is provided by a number of large architectural sculptures on a 1:1 scale. Abstract sections of 3XNs buildings up to four meters high give the public a direct impression of how architecture affects the way we move and what direction we choose to move in.
Kent Martinussen, CEO of the Danish Architecture Centre, will welcome visitors and introduce the exhibition. Kim Herforth Nielsen, Principal of 3XN, and Kasper Guldager Jorgensen, Head of the Development Department, will show visitors round. |
