KADK hosts workshop on War and Architecture

On 24-25 April KADK will be organizing an international workshop on 'War & Architecture: Destruction & Reconstruction - The Case of Syrian Refugees' together with Architects Without Borders and Emergency Architecture and Human Rights (EA). The workshop is part of the concept Workshops 5x5 which is an architectural concept (Chile 2006) which studies, at the same time, 5 humanitarian cases in 5 different cultures. 

Workshops that offers students a globale perspective
The 5x5 workshops are the results of a continuous effort since 2009 from schools of architecture in Mexico, Chile, Mozambique, Turkey and Latvia, and a little but devoted and highly competent unit at KADK/Institute for Architecture, Urbanism & Landscape called DHS; Department of Human Settlements.

"Especially for this years workshops in Copenhagen, the collaboration with DAC is good evidence that the agenda of the workshops is of increasing interest in broader circles. It shows, that the architectural profession is open and ripe to discuss the potentials and ethics embedded in the many disasters and conflicts around the planet. We look very much forward to exploiting this synergy in the years to come", continues Head of Institute Katrine Lotz.
