The Copenhagen Landscape Lectures is a public lecture series for everyone who is interested in how we shape our physical environment, across cities and landscapes, education and practice.
Restoring Nature, Rebuilding Community: Reflections on 40 Years of Action Research
Public lecture by Anne Whiston Spirn,
Professor of Landscape Architecture at MIT
Monday 16 September 2024, 17:00-18:30, Bülowsvej 17, Frederiksberg C, Festauditoriet
What would it mean for a city to be ecologically robust and socially just? What would such a place be like? Through what means might such a vision be accomplished? And how might change be created and sustained? These are not questions to be explored in the abstract. They call for action research, for testing ideas in practice, engaging with real people, in actual places, to make discoveries from which principles can be drawn.
The lecture will be followed by an informal reception
Should we prepare (for) an urban exodus?
Are cities and metropolises the manifest destiny of humankind ?
Thusday 1st Juni 2023, 16:30-17:30, Rolighedsvej 23, Frederiksberg C, Fælleshuset 1st floor, lokale A3-24.11
In his Copenhagen Landscape Lecture, Sébastien Marot will reflect on how the present environmental predicament might well lead us to question this idea, and to encourage something like an urban exodus.
Sébastien Marot is a professor in environmental history at the ENSAVT Université Paris-Est and a guest professor at the EPF Lausanne. He is the author of several books including "Taking the Country’s Side: Agriculture and Architecture", Poligrafa, Barcelone 2019.
An informal reception will be held after the lecture and discussion.
The lecture takes place during the Copenhagen Architecture Festival (CAFx) and is part of a newly established collaboration between CLL and Institut français du Danemark.

Research through Design in Landscape Architecture
Public lecture by Sanda Lenzholzer, Full Professor at Wageningen University
Thusday 20 April 2023, 16:00-17:30, Rolighedsvej 23, Frederiksberg C, Auditorium 'Landscape'
What relations between designing and researching are useful and perhaps necessary to consider, when framing our actions and discourses today? The relationship between design and science has been debated in practice and academia throughout decades and in particular the notion of Research through Design (RTD) has caught attention as a respected research method. In this lecture, Sanda Lenzholzer will elaborate on the use of RTD techniques and associated methods such as Research on design and Research for design.
The lecture will be followed by an informal reception
Inclusive spaces
– a feminist approach
Public lecture by Anne Labroille
Thursday 9 March 2023, 16:00, Rolighedsvej 23, Frederiksberg C, Fælleshuset 1st floor, "von Langen"
Anne Labroille is a French architect and urban planner specialized in participatory and inclusive public space development projects. She is also the Vice-President of the Ile-de-France region's architects association and an associate lecturer at the University of Paris Nanterre. Anne has specialised in inclusive spaces and developed a methodology for examining existing spaces from an inclusivity perspective, spelled out in projects in e.g. Angers and Paris. In her Copenhagen Landscape Lecture, she will introduce her approaches, her methods and ways of working. Moreover, she will reflect on equality issues as entangled with inclusivity – also in spatial matters.
The lecture is the first event as part of a newly established collaboration between CLL and Institut français du Danemark.
An informal reception will be held after the lecture and discussion.
In Search of Geographical Re-enchantment
Public lecture by Robin Winogrond, landscape architect and urban design, Zürich
Tuesday 14 March 2023, 17:00-18:15, Rolighedsvej 23, Frederiksberg C, Auditorium A3.24.11
Robin Winogrond will show a series of her recent projects in Switzerland and Germany, most often on the urban periphery, which increasingly focus on sussing out the poetic potential of the banality of our contemporary urban landscape. What in a place engages our imagination or leaves us cold? Using a narrative approach, the projects become testing grounds to re-enchant each specific site with the power of its own inherent qualities expressing the underestimated oddity of place that our contemporary urban landscapes contain.
The lecture will be followed by a wine reception
