A world of water at DAC
For Culture Night, the Danish Architecture Center dives into the water! Experience the newly opened exhibition 'Water' and build fish hotels, floating architecture, and solutions in LEGO for when the water rises! You can also taste the ocean's secrets and learn more about the world beneath the surface with Havhøst. Try dissecting a mussel, among other things!
Associated events
Build a floating house
Test building a house that can float on water with MAST architects, who specialize in just that. Can you build multiple floors? Or will it tip over? Test your model in water and get tips on how to make it float. You can also experience MAST's large installation of a floating seaweed house.
Dissect a mussel and become a marine scientist
Come and learn more about all the hidden wonders beneath the ocean’s surface together with the association Havhøst. You can, among other things, try dissecting a mussel and discover how it breathes. As a marine scientist, you’ll also determine the salinity of different water samples and learn to distinguish between various seaweed species.
Build fish hotels
It's not just us humans swimming in the Copenhagen harbor. Fish also live beneath the surface, and they need more habitats. Come and help us design and build a large, communal fish hotel, which will later be submerged into the water for especially the small fish to enjoy. What should their new home look like?
LEGO architect
Have you ever thought about how we protect our cities from heavy rain and flooding? Come and build imaginative new solutions in a world full of water when DAC, in collaboration with LEGO Build the Change, invite you to become a 'LEGO Architect'. Here, you can shape future solutions and build your dreams in LEGO.
Amazing fountain
As part of the exhibition 'Water is Coming' there will be a large, illuminated fountain in the harbor next to Lille Langebro. And you can make it even more spectacular! Find a friend, family member, or a passing stranger and press the two red buttons simultaneously. Then watch the lights change, and the fountain shooting 20 meters high!
