OF ARCHITECTURE COPENHAGEN CITY - Itera

04 PROCESSES
WE WANT TO DEVELOP AND FACILITATE PROCESSES
THAT ENSURE ARCHITECTURAL QUALITY AND
SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Any architectural assignment in Copenhagen is a challenge
to find the best possible and most sustainable
solution. One key method is to review the assignment
from as many angles as possible. Here, the competition
institution in Danish and European construction
provides a good basis.
The City of Copenhagen will intensify the use of processes
that help us choose the highest possible architectural
quality and the most sustainable solutions.
This applies to aesthetics, function and construction
technique and in relation to the city’s connectivity. By
constantly focusing on choosing the best architectural
solutions we will also be picking the best and most
talented Danish and international construction, urban
planning and landscape architects.
When the assignment suggests it, young, talented
yet inexperienced architectural firms should receive
wild cards for competitions and workshops. We consider
this promotion of the talent base a key part of
the architectural policy in order to secure tomorrow’s
talent. Citizen dialogues in close collaboration with
the city’s local committees are another key aspect
that stimulates the creative processes and the
popular support.
It is crucial to continue to develop the creative processes
and instruments. In this development process
we need to engage in partnerships with educational
institutions, professional institutions and research
environments. These networks should be expanded
on an ongoing basis, also in an international context.
