Danish Values in a Chinese Environment
The first pen strokes in the creation of the House of the Danish Industry Foundation were drawn in 2010 when Denmark hosted an architectural competition by invitation. It was a condition that the proposed building
should be in accordance with Danish values and standards and show respect for the inspiring Chinese environment. The competition was won by Lundgaard & Tranberg Architects in cooperation with COWI.

Bringing people together
It was the vision to create a vibrant house where also businesspeople take advantage of the airy and pleasant facilities for conference activities and similar events. An open atrium runs through all floors and draws daylight deep into the core of the building. The atrium is the spatial focus of the building, providing overview and easy orientation, and it is the natural meeting place for informal contacts and meetings among students, researchers and businesspeople.A venue for your next event?
