Long Live Architecture!
CHART Architecture returns this year for its 10th edition and we are proud to announce a new open call to celebrate this anniversary. Since the beginning, CHART Architecture has focused on bringing architecture into close dialogue with contemporary art. To mark 10 years of inspiring creative collaborations, we are calling for innovative proposals for a new exhibition structure to be installed at Charlottenborg. Imagined as an irresistible space for contemporary art, we are looking for projects that combines art and architecture to challenge the traditional white cube gallery format.
Open to emerging architects and architectural studios, the competition starts at 12:00 on Tuesday 16 April when the brief will be released via our website. There you will find specific information about what your application should contain. Teams will then have 10 days to submit their application before the competition closes on Friday 26 April. Proposals will be judged by this year’s expert competition jury who will select 1 proposal based on strength of concept, execution and materials. The winning team will then be invited to realise their project at Charlottenborg this August during CHART.
The theme for CHART Architecture 2024 is Neo Nordic Architecture. Nordic architecture has in recent years gained a reputation for its simple elegance, close connection with nature, and strong emphasis on sustainability. CHART Architecture 2024 will encourage all applicants to foreground ideas of functionality and sustainability, particularly emphasising that the final structure must be easy to dismantle and reinstall in a new context.
For any questions, please contact architecture@chartartfair.com
