Contemporary Danish Architecture Exhibition

In collaboration with the Danish Embassy in Lebanon, Beirut Design Week presents 21 examples of contemporary Danish Architecture. Throughout the 20th century, architectural masterminds such as Jørn Utzon, Arne Jacobsen and Johan von Spreckelsen developed a strong identity in Danish architecture, built around an idiom that was minimalist, clean and functional.

Today, these same values continue to permeate the works of Danish architects, and they are still very much at the core of the international brand that Danish architecture has become. However, for Danish architects over the past 20 to 30 years there has been an increased focus on delivering solutions that are not only functional and beautiful, but are also sustainable.

The projects included in this exhibition – which spreads 21 projects over the categories of Housing, Commercial & Industrial, Health & Learning, Culture and Urban Development – are all examples of contemporary, sustainable architecture by Danish firms.
