Aware : Reflections on the Agency of Architecture 3XN GXN – Edited by Olivia Toftum & Kristoffer Lindhardt Weiss
This book is the closing chapter of 3XN GXN's major exhibition at the Danish Architecture Center that ran between March and September 2024. It presents the fundamental relations between bodies and spaces.
The book hosts a nuanced conversation about the agency of architecture in a changing world. We invited 14 practitioners across disciplines and generations to reflect on the exhibition's theme.
The exhibitions explore the agency of architecture through feelings of awe, thrill, curiosity, connection, respite, and care. The publication is structured around these six experiences that connect to the overall theme of agency. Under each word, two contributors are invited to reflect on how these keywords resonate with their praxis and thinking. The form has been open and consists of essays, interviews, conversations, and artistic contributions.
