nonconform and ASSEMBLE: Co-creation and Participatory Processes

Join us for an afternoon on co-creation and participatory processes in an exciting double lecture by Christina Kragl, nonconform (Austria) and Anthony Engi-Meacock, ASSEMBLE (UK). The event is presented by KAB Fonden and the Royal Danish Academy in connection with KAB Fondens Prisopgave 2023. 

nonconform is an architectural office operating from Austria and Germany that works from the motto “miteinander weiter denken” (thinking ahead together). In participatory processes, they develop sustainable concepts for long-term living environments together with the users. The office has an ideas workshop method, which they use both on site and digitally to explore spatial imaginaries and potentials of the many. 

ASSEMBLE is a London-based, multi-disciplinary collective working across architecture, design and art. They have a diverse body of projects, developed with a democratic and co-operative working method that have enabled built, social and research-based work at a variety of scales. Among their many projects are Granby Four Streets, for which they were awarded the prestigious Turner Prize. 

Christina Kragl, partner at nonconform, and Anthony Engi-Meacock, founding member of ASSEMBLE, will each present the work and working method of their office, showcasing the unconventional processes and unique results.

The lectures are presented by KAB Fonden and the Royal Danish Academy as part of KAB Fondens Prisopgave 2023 on “Fremtidig Bæredygtighed i Almene Boliger” (Future Sustainability in Non-profit Housing). 

Non-profit housing holds a unique position in Denmark. They make up a large part of the total housing stock, and almost every fifth Dane lives in one. Non-profit housing is intended to be for everyone across social, economic and cultural conditions and to be run according to resident democratic principles. As such, they can be a driving force in the development towards a sustainable society.
