Changing Our Footprint

Aware of its responsibility to reduce the industry's enormous impact on the environment, global architecture firm Henning Larsen embarks on an ambitious journey with the exhibition Changing Our Footprint, showing Henning Larsen's small but scalable steps towards a desirable one Future based on built projects, research, tests and continuous knowledge. Under the motto "Unroll the sketch paper", Henning Larsen asks the visitors to engage in a dialogue, to ask difficult questions, to search for better solutions together and to repeatedly weigh up the impact of their own actions.

“We still have much to learn and unlearn as we seek to reshape the massive environmental impact of our industry. Dealing with this footprint can trigger anxiety. But it also harbors a wealth of possibilities. The perspective of possibilities has prompted us to embark on the exploratory and collective journey to change our footprint.”
Werner Frosch, Partner and Managing Director, Henning Larsen Germany.

Divided into “explain” and “explore”, the exhibition aims to share knowledge and learn about biologically based materials and new tools for the architectural process. The exhibits, including the projects, materials and insights, are not intended as a conclusive answer, but rather as an answer to the questions the industry is currently facing and which will continue to evolve as new solutions are tested.
