Copenhagen Architecture Festival (CAFx) was founded in 2014 and aims to rethink the presentation of architecture, highlighting its qualities and diversity, and create relevant discussion about how it affects – and is affected by – our way of being in this world.

Events:Architecture is – as is fashion – identity-building and connected with our understanding of self.
Copenhagen Architecture Festival and Copenhagen International Fashion Fair, CIFF, have invited Denmark’s leading fashion scholar and curator, Ane Lynge-Jorlén, to present a series of short films that connect fashion and architecture. The event will be introduced by Kristian W. Andersen, Fashion & Design Director, CIFF. Ane Lynge-Jorlén will talk about the possible relations between fashion and architecture – as markers of social relations, personal destiny and memory.
Several of the chosen films are interdisciplinary; they establish characteristic filmic space combining imagery of bodies, clothing and architectural space. The possibility of formal transports between the two disciplines will be considered.

Films:Koolhaas Houselife/Get a peak behind the facade of an ultramodern luxury home
In this film we get up close with a modernistic dream home in Bordeaux, designed by the world famous Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and the firm OMA. A home so architecturally fabulous, that turists are bused to the house for guided tours.
Different from a lot of architecture films, neither the owners or the creators of the house participate in the movie. Instead, we follow the daily cleaning and renovation, that has to be done to make the unique house work as planned. Therefore, the film is a singular opportunity to get behind the central work in the ouvre of OMA in France. What is so special about the house from the perspective of daily life? How does the rooms unfold monumentally from the central lift? And in what special way does one enter the house?

Themes 2015:Architectural Processes
Achitecture is a form of art, but it is also an industry, an economy, a construction project. In this series we follow architectural processes from the moment they eject from the mind to the subject and the realization. We consider the adjustments and compromises that are made along the way. The category also deals with the connecton of architecture with society: Museum buildings, hospitals, or the American Freedom Tower – no matter what you build, there is serious consideration and societal forces that influence the architecture. And of course, the opposite is applicable; architecture shapes both our actions in society and our gaze on it.
