"Through a range of installations, models, and interactive elements, "Age of Nature" presents speculative yet achievable visions for future living. A tower of live mushrooms grows as a vertical field, freeing ground space for wilderness; facades are reimagined as miniature ecosystems; and filmmaker Liam Young's The Great Endeavor envisions a global workforce collectively removing CO₂ from the atmosphere using existing technologies. Together, these projects question how architecture can move beyond minimizing its impact to actively regenerate the environments it inhabits."
"Denmark, one of the most cultivated countries in the world, with only 0.7% wilderness remaining, provides a relevant context for this discussion. As land use intensifies to accommodate renewable energy, urban expansion, and climate infrastructure, the exhibition raises questions about how space can be shared between humans and nature and brings together pioneering works by Danish and international architects, artists, and researchers who are exploring ways to build with, rather than against, nature."
The Age of Nature exhibition at the Danish Architecture Center opens October 6, 2025, and runs until May 17, 2026. It uses installations, models, and interactive elements to propose speculative yet achievable visions for architecture that supports human life and biodiversity. Projects include a live mushroom tower that frees ground for wilderness, facades redesigned as miniature ecosystems, and Liam Young's film envisioning large-scale CO₂ removal using existing technologies. The exhibition situates its questions in Denmark's context of only 0.7% wilderness, examining land sharing, food-production strategies that restore wilderness, species diversity in cities, and technologies to heal natural systems.
