Danish Architecture Center
Cover image missing

Danish Architecture Center (DAC) is an international cultural attraction for everyone who wants to experience and understand how architecture and design create the framework for our lives. DAC is located in BLOX by Copenhagen’s inner harbour and part of the city’s Cultural District. Through exhibitions, events, and education, DAC inspires, educates, and engages visitors. Sustainability is at the core of DACs mission, reflected in its status as a certified Green Attraction. Discover the latest trends in architecture and design at DAC Design Shop, where every product is carefully selected with sustainability in mind. DAC Café prioritises organic ingredients, local produce, and animal welfare while actively minimising food waste.

THIS IS NOT A FOREST is a sensory installation at DAC tracing wood’s journey from forest to architecture. The exhibition is developed by Archival in collaboration with the Danish Architecture Center and Dinesen Lab, part of Dinesen. From raw logs to crafted materials, the exhibition examines how wood is shaped through design and how a deeper understanding of its nature, value chain and craft can support more responsible ways of building. Visitors move through a constructed forest of timber, shaped by light and sound, with scent developed by Studio Pneuma. The installation features bespoke furniture pieces and a welcome desk, designed by Archival and made from leftover wood from Dinesen. These are now a permanent part of DACs Welcome.

Studio ByHAA is an architectural design studio working at the intersection of craft, design, regenerative architecture, and landscape. Designs are handcrafted in Egypt through a dialogue between local artisans and Danish designers. The studio works from the understanding that all things and scales are connected, linking architecture with craft, the intelligence of the land, and the people who shape it. Beginning with the land—its textures, rhythms, and hands—the practice brings the outside in, creating spaces and objects that belong. Through the handmade, Studio ByHAA seeks to reconnect people with nature, the land, and a slower sense of time.

Natural materials and timeless techniques, create rugs that last, in both design and durability. Whether flat–woven, piled or tufted, every piece is made to be lived with, walked on, and loved. Rooted in modernist ideals and made for spaces that value form, texture, and soul. This is not just flooring, this is craftsmanship that connects past to present.
