Even though we only came in 2nd, we want to share Even though we only came in 2nd, we want to share our contribution to the Danish pavilion for Chicago Architecture Biennial 2021.

Our proposal "The Communal Table" originates around the idea of the Danish concept “Folkekøkken” (Peoples Kitchen) were you share a table with neighbours, friends and strangers, all eating the same meal, and using the power of food to strengthen community ties.

Together with metalworker and artist Alberte Tranberg we proposed a design where an organically shaped table moves fluidly through a grid system of poles - mirroring the grid system of Chicago.

Looking at Chicago from above, it is evident that the city is the result of a rational deployment of street grids, used in planning practices in the past. While the grid systems represent a long history of city building it simultaneously represents a top down approach to planning. The same logic of the grids is evident in the discriminatory practices of redlining, where lines are drawn on a map, and used to exercise power over the people who live there.

With this concept we wanted to challenge the rational perfection of the traditional street grid, reimagining urban spaces, with a focus on the people, through a bottom-up approach. 

On a more practical note, the grid system allows to cover the area as well as exhibit materials, hanging plants, lights etc. making it not only a space to gather but also to continuously change and develop.

We congratulate the winning team and we look foreward to following their project.

We have some exciting news! Our democratic commun We have some exciting news! Our democratic community engagement tools, ArkiCity and arki_nopoly have won The Shape Your Future Award at the 2020 AWS City on a Cloud competition! ArkiCity was developed in partnership with UDIA NSW as a City Life Labs awarded grant while both ArkiCity and arki_nopoly were developed in partnership with the University of Wollongong’s SMART Infrastructure Facility. 

Arkki_nopoly is a digital board game designed to bring together stakeholders and citizens to tackle big decisions in urban development. While the mobile app, ArkiCity, allows citizens to contribute to the (re)design of their neighbourhood and city in a playful and exciting way, and turns urban design into a democratic process, where all voices can be heard. 

The past year in lockdown has highlighted the growing need for such creative communication tools that can adapt to our unprecedented times and have proven very useful in re-engaging communities on a common platform. 

Download ArkiCity from App Store or Google Play[Beta version]. To try out the app use the project code "LAUNCH".

Contact us if you’d like to hear more about these tools.

Ditte er vores anden nye praktikant i dette semest Ditte er vores anden nye praktikant i dette semester. 

Ditte er i gang med sin kandidat i europæisk etnologi på Københavns Universitet. På studiet har hun blandt andet arbejdet med bæredygtige bofællesskaber og natur- og landskabsopfattelser i et kulturhistorisk perspektiv. Hos arki_lab håber hun at få større indsigt i, hvordan byer og steder kan udvikles med øje for brugere og borgere og deres behov og ønsker. 

Velkommen til arki_lab, Ditte :)
We are happy to welcome our new interns on board. We are happy to welcome our new interns on board. Our first intern we’d like to introduce is Isabella. 

Originally hailing from Australia, Isabella is an architect who moved to Scandinavia in 2018 to pursue her interest in urban planning and citizen-centric design. During her masters she explored how participatory design methods could facilitate community investment and ownership throughout the planning and design phases.  Isabella is passionate about how co-design strategies can enhance the individual and collective human experience of urban environments, and she is eager to engage with citizen involvement from a professional perspective during her internship at arki_lab.

Isabella will be working with us until July 2021. We’re looking forward to our journey together.
