ENGLISH BELOW
Kom med til en aften med livlige debatter, inspirerende foredragsholdere og en udstilling, hvor fjendtligt design bliver vendt på hovedet.
Fjendtligt design er blevet en udbredt strategi til at styre hvordan byens rum kan bruges, og det mærkes allermest af sårbare grupper såsom hjemløse. Ved at tilføje barrierer, fjerne læ eller opdele bænke, dikterer disse indgreb på subtil men kraftfuld vis, hvem der hører til i byen – og hvem der ikke gør.
Dette arrangement undersøger alternativer til fjendtligt design, ved at rejse konstruktive spørgsmål: Hvordan kan vi gentænke vores byer for at fremme inklusion og social lighed?Hvilken rolle kan kreativitet, samarbejde og politik spille i skabelsen af byrum, der tjener alle på tværs af sociale eller økonomiske skel?
Deltag i en aften med inspirerende oplæg, engagerende debat og en udstilling, der viser legende alternativer til fjendtligt design, udviklet af studerende fra Det Kongelige Akademi og Roskilde Universitet. Sammen med eksperter inden for bydesign, social inklusion og politisk udvikling vil vi undersøge udfordringer og muligheder i arbejdet med at skabe byrum, der byder velkommen frem for at afvise.
Program:
- 16:30-17:00: Ankomst, bobler og udstilling af studerendes modeller
- 17:00-17:15: Velkomst og introduktion ved Jonas Høiness, EAHR
- 17:15-18:00: Inspirationsoplæg ved tre eksperter:
- Pia Justesen, menneskerettighedsjurist med speciale i rettigheder for sårbare grupper. Forfatter og redaktør af publikationen No Access – Social Exclusion in Urban Spaces (2024)
- Ronni Abergel, stifter af Menneskebiblioteket og initiativtager til projektet Bazar under Broen, et socialt projekt, der arbejder med inklusion af udsatte borgere på ydre Nørrebro siden efteråret 2024.
- Jakob Hjuler Tamsmark, områdechef for driftstøtte i teknik- og miljøforvaltningen. Som tidligere forstander for settlementet har han særlig fokus på social inklusion i det byggede miljø.
- 18:00-18:45: Paneldebat og Q&A, ledet af Ben Bosse, EAHR.
- 18:45-19:00: Afsluttende refleksioner og åbent netværk.
Arrangementet foregår på engelsk.
ENGLISH
Join us for an evening of lively debate, inspiring speakers, and an exhibition where hostile design is flipped on its head.
Hostile design has become a widespread strategy to deter certain uses of urban spaces, often targeting vulnerable groups such as homeless individuals. By adding barriers, removing cover, or dividing benches, these interventions subtly, but powerfully, dictate who belongs in the city and who does not.
Together, we’ll explore creative visions for inclusive public spaces and the friendly city of tomorrow.
This event explores alternatives to hostile design by asking: How can we reimagine our cities to foster inclusion and social equity? What role can creativity, collaboration, and policy play in shaping public spaces that serve everyone, regardless of their social or economic status?
Join us for an evening of inspirational talks, engaging debate, and an exhibition showcasing playful alternatives to hostile design, developed by students at the Royal Danish Academy and Roskilde Unviersity. Together with experts in urban design, social inclusion, and policy-making, we will examine the challenges and possibilities of building cities that welcome rather than reject.
Program:
- 16:30-17:00: Arrival, refreshments, and an exhibition of student models
- 17:00-17:15: Welcome and introduction by Jonas Høiness, EAHR
- 17:15-18:00: Inspiration talks by three experts
- Pia Justesen, human rights lawyer specializing on the rights of vulnerable groups. Author and editor of the publication No Access – Social Exclusion in Urban Spaces (2024)
- Ronni Abergel, founder of the Human Library and initiator of the project Bazar under Broen, a social project working for the inclusion of Roma people in Nørrebro, from fall 2024
- Jakob Hjuler Tamsmark, Area Manager for Operational Support in the Technical and Environmental Administration. As a former head of settlementet, an NGO working for social equity in vesterbro, he has a particular focus on social inclusion in the built environment.
- 18:00-18:45: Panel debate and Q&A, led by Ben Bosse, EAHR
- 18:45-19:00: Closing reflections and open networking.
The event will be in English.
