"Architecture Connecting II: Memoryscapes is curated by Mette Marie Kallehauge and Kjeld Kjeldsen. The exhibition is grounded in the idea that human narratives are central to creating spaces for the dreams of future generations. It foregrounds architecture's connections to mindsets rooted in anthropology, archaeology, and geology through the work of the two featured studios. Both practices are recognized for their archaeological approaches, delving into history"
"to propose locally grounded architectural solutions, "reaching back in time to design architecture for the future." While the two studios engage with cultural geography through different perspectives and fieldwork methodologies, they are united by a deep exploration of human, cultural, and site-specific histories. By highlighting these links, the exhibition opens a window onto the wide and varied fieldwork practices shaping architecture today."
Architecture Connecting II: Memoryscapes opens January 22, 2026 at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, examining architecture's relationship with science, research, and human narratives. The exhibition foregrounds memories, stories, and traditions informing the practices of Xu Tiantian's DnA_Design and ATTA — Atelier Tsuyoshi Tane Architects. Both studios employ archaeological approaches and diverse fieldwork methodologies to probe anthropology, archaeology, geology, and cultural geography, proposing locally grounded architectural solutions. Memoryscapes contrasts these practices with the previous series installment’s focus on algorithms and ecological processes, presenting a view of architecture shaped by site-specific histories, cultural memory, and field-based research for future generations.
