Danish architectural firms - How do we create value-creating architecture?

A dissemination and knowledge sharing project on value creation through stimulating and supportive architecture as well as sustainable construction.
Who are we building for? This is the central issue of this project, which the Bevica Foundation is behind together with Danske Arkitekt, Dreyers Fond and Realdania. The aim is to communicate, share knowledge and promote the debate on the importance of the physical framework of buildings and urban spaces for people's quality of life in a holistic perspective. With the project, we want to help increase the quality of the built environment and increase the knowledge and knowledge of universal design as a tool.
The project documents and disseminates new application-based knowledge based on concrete showcases, existing and new research. The good stories of value creation through sustainable construction and optimised design processes - with a focus on user-driven innovation - should inspire and provide new knowledge to construction partners and the general population.
