Call: Works and Words 2026

The Royal Danish Academy - Architecture and Aarhus School of Architecture invite proposals for the WORKS + WORDS 2026 Biennale in Artistic Research in Architecture, which will be held in Aarhus at three prominent venues in the inner city.

This call is distributed to architecture schools and research environments worldwide with the ambition of presenting diversified and highly qualified material at the Biennale. It is an invitation to exhibit, describe, and discuss the works and words that form part of artistic research in architecture. 

We invite everyone engaged in artistic research within the field of architecture to send proposals to the WORKS + WORDS 2026 Biennale in Artistic Research in Architecture, whether they work in academia, professional practice, or independently. The Biennale also includes a symposium, which takes place in conjunction with the Biennale opening. A number of participants in the Biennale will be invited to deliver a presentation of their work at the symposium.

The deadline for proposals is the 1st of April 2025.
