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.

RUSSO BETAK, founded by Stefannia Russo (BR) and Søren Betak (DK), 3D prints biomaterials sourced from waste into lighting objects. The experimental approach to design emphasises a dialogue between digital precision and material intuition, bridging technology with craftsmanship. Using seashells collected from restaurants, they 3D print flat sheets and hand-sculpt them while warm to create designs that are reminiscent of classic design with a forward-looking twist.

Rethinking paper for architecture and exhibition design. Drop Paper sits somewhere between material innovation and spatial storytelling. Its ultra-light, non-woven surface—fibrous, flexible and quietly expressive—has become a go-to for designers working across exhibitions, events and interiors. It can be cut, folded and suspended with ease, yet retains a distinctive visual softness that comes alive when interacting with light.
