Reclaim Beauty

How can we rediscover the beauty of recycling and create a future where the used gets new life and new circular materials give new value?
The world needs a new aesthetic. Our consumption leaves behind mountains of waste, pumps CO2 into the atmosphere, and depletes the planet’s resources. The construction industry alone accounts for 30% of Denmark’s annual waste – and only 4% is recycled. 

This exhibition explores how beauty and reuse go hand in hand to build a sustainable future. Be inspired by projects that transform the used and discarded into something both beautiful and functional. From preserving and repurposing existing buildings to recycling construction materials and adopting new building techniques that respect the planet’s resources.

Discover architecture that values what already exists – the beauty of weathered bricks, the soul of old building elements, and a fresh approach to sustainability where waste becomes a resource.

The exhibition points to a society where buildings can be reused, adapted, and constructed with respect for nature’s cycles.
