- Thursday 25 September
With a critical eye on today’s sustainability trends, this session explores architecture’s materials from a fresh perspective. How do we manage access to a shared “material bank,” where resources from the construction sector are reused far more extensively? How can this help reduce the enormous climate footprint of the building industry? What new approaches to materials are required—and how will they affect workflows and, not least, the role of the architect?
Taking the transformation of Hall 9 and the new Roskilde Festival train station as their starting point, the panel will unfold these questions. Speakers include Tue Foged, co-founder and Creative Director at EFFEKT; Emil Jespersen & Marte Nødtvedt Skjæggestad, the architects behind Hall 9’s redesign into a new creative hub for the neighborhood; and Martin Marker, Head of the “Complexity in Practice” program at the Institute of Architecture, Urbanism and Landscape at The Royal Danish Academy. Marker will share insights and lessons learned from the recently completed train station project for Roskilde Festival 2025, where new methods and approaches to materials were placed at the very center.
