Architecture forms the way we live together. With this Focus, we shed light on how sustainable and creative thinking can shape healthy buildings as a framework for modern life.

Shaping how we live together

Imagine a future where every design element of a building has your comfort and well-being as a goal – while ensuring overall sustainable methods and materials. We put forward this Focus on healthy, sustainable architecture as the 17th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia is opening with the critical theme 'How will we live together?'. The festival has called on architects worldwide to imagine new spaces for co-existence and inhabitation, looking at both the cityscape and the households of the future.

The Danish contribution, commissioned by the Danish Architecture Center, skilfully demonstrates how architecture can reconnect us with the Earth's elements and presenting an imperative for more sustainable solutions in the future.

‍

This holistic approach to architecture is exemplary for Danish architects and their ability for coming up with building designs where purpose, aesthetics, and sustainability go hand-in-hand. As architects, they define value in terms of buildings that enrich their surroundings, structures that consume less energy and improve health.

‍

In line with this approach, BLOXHUB has in a series of talks and debates during this spring investigated how healthy building design can improve well-being. Through cross-disciplinary collaborations on acoustic solutions, indoor climate and well-designed lighting, we can create healthier environments that can enhance the quality of life for the many and not only the few.
