Announcement teaser for CHART Architecture 2022.
CHART is proud to announce the eighth edition of CHART Architecture: a 72-hour architectural competition open to newly graduated architects, designers and artists with connections to the Nordic region. CHART Architecture invites teams to submit proposals for temporary architectural pavilions to be installed in the courtyard at Charlottenborg in the heart of Copenhagen during CHART 2022. The competition kicks off Friday 29 April at 12 noon.
The theme for CHART Architecture 2022 is ‘Bio Architecture’ and we are encouraging participants to explore the potential of biological materials in creating explorative, sensuous and sustainable architectural spaces. A jury of internationally-acclaimed individuals, specialising in architecture, art and design, will select five finalist teams to realise and display their proposals at Charlottenborg this August.
The jury for CHART Architecture 2022 will be chaired by Bjarke Ingels (DK); founder and partner at BIG who has been a part of CHART Architecture since its beginning. Members of the jury will also include: Kjetil Trædal Thorsen (NO), founder and partner at Snøhetta; Johanne Hestvold (NO), artist working with, among many other projects, sculptural installations in mycelium; curator Pleun van Dijk of Future Materials Bank (NL); founder of The Circular Way Ditte Lysgaard Vind (DK) and design gallerist Maria Foerlev of Etage Projects (DK).

“We are currently seeing a range of new approaches to reducing the climate imprint of the building industry on the planet. New solutions are needed and a myriad of concrete ideas are emerging across artistic practices. For CHART Architecture 2022 we hope to bring some of these ideas to life and present pavilions which explore new relations between building and biology."
