CHART Architecture throughout the years

CHART Architecture 2023

Coinciding with Copenhagen's nomination as UNESCO's World Capital of Architecture, CHART Architecture 2023 focused around the theme of 'New European Bauhaus.' Five finalist teams were selected to realise innovative proposals for temporary structures that foregrounded the principles of aesthetics, inclusion and sustainability.

CHART Architecture 2022

Responding to the competition theme Bio Architecture, each of the five finalist teams outlined compelling ideas that explored a symbiotic relationship between architecture and nature, and that offered fresh insight into how the use of new materials can help foster a more sustainable built environment.

CHART Architecture 2021

Based on the theme of Social Architecture, each of the five finalist teams presented new ideas on how architecture can be a powerful tool for creating collective spatial experiences. After a year of social distancing, the finalists’ pavilion designs explored ways to come together again and to share social experiences.

CHART Architecture 2019

Recycled IKEA Sultan mattresses, a huggable facade, bricks of recycled paper, latex cells and a tribute to salt – CHART Architecture 2019 presented temporary pavilions rethinking “materiality”.

CHART Architecture 2018

In 2018, CHART Architecture challenged participants to unfold the potential of open-source through temporary pavilion structures. Open-source points towards new ways of living and designing through its diverse frame of reference from new technologies to architectural theory and modular design.
