The Danish Architecture Centre (DAC) develops and communicates knowledge about architecture and urban - and landscape development. The objective of DAC is to create broad interest in architecture, to clear the way for new ideas traversing traditional boundaries and to show how architecture creates cultural and economic assets for people, the industry and society.
DAC is a gathering point for all those interested in new architecture, urban development and innovation in the built environment. The Centre deals with architecture as a broad concept that embraces everything from the creative process, planning and urban development to the finished space or construction involved.
DAC is a base funded by a partnership consisting of Realdania, the Danish Ministry of Culture, the Danish Ministry of Environment, the Danish Ministry of Business and Growth and the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Building.
The Centre offers a wide range of professional and cultural activities, including exhibitions, professionalisation,seminars, guided tours in the city, etc. Most of the projects are performed in conjunction with Danish and international partners.
The Danish Architecture Centre's objective and legitimacy consist in promoting co-operation across the professional boundaries of the construction sector and architecture so that the players, working together, are able to contribute to the forward-looking development of architecture and construction specifically and Danish society in general.
DAC is located in BLOX - a place with space for urban life, architecture and sustainability.
