Third Spaces – The Architecture of Democracy

On Thursday, April 23, 16:30–19:30, you are invited to a conversation about third spaces – the places between home and work where communities emerge and democracy is practiced in everyday life. The evening opens with five short presentations (5 minutes each) by Christian Pagh (moderator), Kathryn Larsen, Eske Bruun, Asal Mohtashami, and Emma Nielsen. The presentations draw on concrete cases and explore co-ownership, organization, and the role of architecture in creating open and inclusive communities. Following a brief dialogue with the audience and a short break, the speakers will reconvene for a structured panel discussion, addressing questions such as: Why are third spaces important? How do we create them? And how do we ensure they remain active and sustainable over time? Join us for an evening exploring architecture as democratic infrastructure. The event is supported by the Dreyer Foundation and is in Danish.
