Morten Meldgaard
I am an architect and filmdirector. My research focusses on the 5 C´s: Co-creation, Collaboration, Care, Community and Context. I am currently working with the Roskilde Festival Station group, co-creating a temporary trainstation with our students and partners from RF, DSB, NEXT. Previously I have been working with other large scale installations in public space and co-creative projects.

Co-creation is not a skill. It is what we perform as a species. To each other, our cities, landscapes and to the planet
A building is more than an object. Building is a practice and as such it is a cultural practice we perform, not something that is solely external or objectifiable. A building is also part of a context, and it co-creates this context as soon as it is built. A building is a collaboration between the many different people and trades that put efforts into it and the many plant, animal and mineral orders that provide material and energy. A building is a pull on the resource pool of the community. It is a sign of care or the opposite. Care for the environments in which it inscribes itself and for the soil on which it is placed and the common resources that it engages with and take up.
