Join us for a Daylight Talk with Lundgaard & Tranberg Architects about the studio's practice and the use of daylight in their projects.
Through different projects, Trine Hedeager Harboe and Malene Hjortsø Kyndesen, partners at Lundgaard & Tranberg Architects, will share their approach to work with daylight - as they describe it themselves:
Architecture evolves from sensing a site—from understanding the history of what once was, recognizing the significance of what already exists, and intuitively acknowledging the energy that runs through space.
In our work, we seek to connect phenomena and evoke strong relationships between light, space, structure, and material. Each place and each function demand a unique perception of daylight—and within this interpretation, atmosphere emerges.
Because every project has its own prerequisites, this lecture will explore four different projects, each demonstrating our approach in fundamentally distinct ways:
- At our newest office building at Tuborg Strandeng, horizontal structures guide the flow of workspaces, connecting users to the almost overwhelming presence of nature and light at this rare seaside site.
- In the Natural History Museum, light is carefully directed into specific spaces, creating a heightened and condensed experience of illumination.
- In the new Viking Ship Museum, daylight enters only through minimal tectonic cracks, as the ancient ships housed therein cannot withstand UV radiation. Here, light is treated with great restraint, heightening the relationship between protection and exposure.
- In Ribe, the architecture of the parish hall Kannikegården invites daylight to animate and illuminate the historic ruins on the site, creating a quiet dialogue between the new structure and the past.
The Daylight Talk is organized in collaboration between VILLUM Window Collection and Daylight and Architecture.
