The Dansk Arkitektur Center (Danish Architecture Center) in the new BLOX complex was our first stop the day after we arrived in Copenhagen. We purchased our wristbands for the Copenhagen Architecture Festival and perused the cool design shop, but the spring sunshine was too enticing to stay indoors for long so I saved the exhibitions for a return visit...
The featured exhibition was "Irreplaceable Landscapes", an overview of the creative projects of Dorte Mandrup, one of Denmark's top tier architects with an international team. Mandrup's design vision considers "architecture as art and art as architecture" and incorporates ecological and heritage concerns as inherent aspects in every project.

The other exhibition presented at DAC was "It's Our Future", an immersive multi-media installation by young activists commanding attention to the plight of cities and their survival to sustain all who inhabit them.
