Age of Nature: New DAC Exhibition Explores the Future Relationship Between Architecture and Nature
Opening on World Architecture Day, October 6, 2025, “Age of Nature” is a new exhibition at the Danish Architecture Center (DAC), on view until May 17, 2026. Presented in DAC’s largest exhibition space, the show examines how architecture can evolve to support both human life and biodiversity, addressing one of the most pressing challenges of the time: redefining the relationship between the built environment and the natural world.
Through a range of installations, models, and interactive elements, “Age of Nature” presents speculative yet achievable visions for future living. A tower of live mushrooms grows as a vertical field, freeing ground space for wilderness; facades are reimagined as miniature ecosystems; and filmmaker Liam Young’s The Great Endeavor envisions a global workforce collectively removing CO₂ from the atmosphere using existing technologies. Together, these projects question how architecture can move beyond minimizing its impact to actively regenerate the environments it inhabits.
