Copenhagen Architecture Festival
The inaugural Copenhagen Architecture Biennial, set to take place from September 18 to October 19, 2025, has announced its first curatorial theme, “Slow Down.” Organized by CAFx, the biennial builds upon the foundation of the annual Copenhagen Architecture Festival, established in 2014, evolving into a larger international platform aimed at deepening engagement with architectural issues. This transition marks a shift in focus toward more comprehensive and long-term dialogue around the built environment’s role in shaping society and addressing contemporary challenges.
The biennial, under the leadership of Josephine Michau, who previously curated the Danish Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2023, seeks to create a space for reflection on architecture’s impact on everyday life, societal well-being, and environmental sustainability. It will feature a diverse program spanning exhibitions, symposia, talks, film screenings, studio visits, and guided tours across various venues in Copenhagen, with a central hub located in the city’s Cultural District.
