Cluster for Artistic Research within Architecture and Design

The cluster for Artistic Research within Design & Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy functions as a dynamic hub that promotes an interdisciplinary community of designers and architects dedicated to Artistic Research (KUV). This vibrant cluster strives to create an environment that encourages hands-on research and emphasizes a collaborative exhibition practice, establishing itself as a hub for the exchange of knowledge in design and architecture. 

At the core of the cluster's philosophy are materials-based and experimental approaches, recognized as essential catalysts for the development of cutting-edge methods and insights. By representing different disciplines within the Institute of Architecture and Design, such as architecture, glass and ceramics, fashion, furniture design and textiles, the cluster is united by a common ambition to enrich people's lives with new functionalities and artistic dimensions. 

The significance of the cluster lies in its firm commitment to challenging artistic conventions by addressing and formulating design parameters. It actively works to expand the boundaries of subjects and redefine material practices, contributing profoundly to the development of artistic work. In this way, the cluster becomes a catalyst for innovation that enriches societal perspectives on design and architecture.
