Together 2026

Join us for the inaugural event in a new seminar and conference series exploring disability, equity, and inclusion in architecture and design. The programme explores how research, practice, action, and the built environment are interconnected, fostering more inclusive ways of making, thinking, and working together.

The seminar is part of the partnership “A Diverse View of Humanity and Equality through Architecture and Universal Design,” a joint initiative between the Bevica Foundation, Dreyer Foundation, Rambøll Foundation and the Royal Danish Academy.
