Opið kall: Slow Pavillions

Design and build a pavilion in the Cultural District of Copenhagen, that will act as a symbol and hub for the first Copenhagen Architecture Biennial.

'Slow Down' – the Copenhagen Architecture Biennial invites emerging spatial practitioners to participate in our Open Call and to contribute to the design and construction of the Pavilions for the forthcoming Copenhagen Architecture Biennial 2025, September 18th to October 19th.

Slow Pavilion is a unique opportunity to create architectural forms that engage the public and explore innovative approaches to sustainable solutions in architecture, at central locations in the heart of Copenhagens Cultural Districts, at Søren Kierkegaard Plads and Gammel Strand.

About the Open Call
We are seeking proposals for two pavilions to be located in the Cultural District, from emerging spatial practitioners based in the Nordic countries.
One will be installed at Søren Kierkegaard Plads, and one on Gammel Strand

The pavilions must:

• Accommodate public programs and serve as information stands for the Biennial.
• Be sourced and constructed from recycled, regenerative and reusable materials, promoting a circular building approach and aim to be for zero waste.
• Reflect the theme ‘Slow Down’, both in concept and design.
• Modular and re-assemblable, allowing for transportation and storage, for relocation and reuse in collaboration with other regional Nordic cultural institutions.
