Speaking for itself ...or much better - through architecture!
The green transition of the construction industry will be based on fast-growing biogenic material resources - wait and see.

The tactility, familiarity and the accessibility worldwide of biogenic materials, as reed and straw, form inspiring possibilities for architects to create a build environment that respect our planets carrying capacity.

In session 15: MATERIAL FRAMEWORKS: STRUCTURE AS ENVIRONMENTAL MEDIATOR, researchers from CINARK will present the results from full scale experiments that have been tested in the Deserta Ecofolie curated by Professor Pedro I. Alonso and Pamela Prado, PUC, Chile.
Deserta Ecofolie was presented for the first time at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2025 and is planned to be built in the Atacama Desert as a living lab testing self-sufficiency, material durability and the environmental impact of construction.

Our talk is titled: Regenerative Biogenic Façades for extreme climates.
The session is held Tuesday the 30th of June from 10.45-11.45 at CCIB stage 8.

Session Content:
Environmental forces are translated here into constructive systems. Prefabricated thatch cassettes regulate heat and fire risk; timber trusses and linen membranes collect and filter rain; bamboo–concrete hybrids organise ventilation and communal life. Rather than treating climate as background constraint, these projects embed atmospheric performance within structure itself. Architecture operates as environmental mediator, where material assembly, geometry, and local resources generate spatial comfort through tectonic precision.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Kom til fernisering på udstillingen: Omdannelser af det industrialiserede velfærdsbyggeri!

Torsdag den 22. Januar fra kl. 14.00 – 15.00 i foyeren på KABs hovedkontor på Enghave 2450 København SV.

Udstillingen kan besøges fra den 22. januar til og med den 5. februar 2026 i KABs åbningstider.

Udstillingen er udarbejdet af 5. års studerende på kandidatprogrammet Bosætning, Økologi og Tektonik på Det Kongelige Akademi og sætter fokus på konkret omdannelse. De studerende har arbejdet materialenært og eksperimenterede med nye designstrategier og byggetekniske løsninger i forbindelse med transformationen af Højdevang Sogn Plejehjem, som i dag står til sanering og delvis nedrivning.

Udstillingen markerer afslutningen på de studerendes forsknings- og innovationsforløb 2025.

Vi håber på at se jer på næste torsdag! by @cinark_cph

Lead by Anne Beim, CINARK is currently developing prefabricated biogenic panels, revisiting and improving Danish (and northern European) vernacular building traditions. At the Atacama UC Station, CINARK has been testing local materials such as tola, paja brava, brea, and totora from both the Atacama and the Altiplano, towards the prefabrication of façade panes that are insulating, fireproof, biodegradable and of negative carbon footprint.

The international Deserta Ecofolie workshop is a collaboration between the Architectural Association in London, the School of Architecture of the Catholic University in Santiago, the Atacama Desert Center (CDA UC), the Alto Patache Fog Oasis Experimental Station, the UC Network of Regional Centers and Stations (RCER), and CINARK in Copenhagen.

We’ve succesfully started our Deserta Ecofolie AA Visiting School to the Atacama Desert @deserta_ecofolie in collaboration with the School of Architecture and the Ph.D Program in Architecture, Design and Urban Studies at the Universidad Católica de Chile @arq_uc @doctoradofadeu well as CINARK from the Royal Danish Academy of Architecture @cinark_cph with the support of the Atacama Desert Center UC @cda_uc, the Atacama UC Fog Oasis Research Station of Alto Patache @estacionatacamauc and the Network of Research Centers and Field Stations RCER UC rcer_uc.

To design of a minimal unit of inhabitation to be placed at the Atacama UC Fog Oasis Research Station in Alto Patache. As its name indicates, the site is characterized by the possibility of harvesting water from fog. This condition, together with the very high rate of direct solar radiation —perfect for collecting energy— defines the problem as the possibility to design an off-grid project within enquiries that could extended into the quest for self-sufficient production of food.

Programme’s head: Pedro Ignacio Alonso (pedro.alonso [at] aaschool.ac.uk)
Guest tutors: Anne Beim, Johannes Schotanus, Thomas Gerner (CINARK Royal Danish Academy of Architecture), Francisco Chateau, Germán Guzmán (Arch.UC), Pamela Prado (Curating Contexts). Advisors: Pablo Osses (Atacama Desert Centre UC), Alberto Prado (Arturo Prat University, Iquique)

As the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale approaches its finissage, we return to Deserta EcoFolie: the 16 m² minimal housing prototype conceived for the Atacama Desert by architects Pedro Ignacio Alonso & Pamela Prado, presented at the Giardino delle Vergini, in the Arsenale of the Biennale. We are sharing a selection of images of the pavilion in Venice, in dialogue with production moments from our workshops, where the entire structure was fully produced, tested and pre-assembled.

🎥 The full video is available on our YouTube channel (link in bio).
