JOIN A RESIDENCY
SIX LABS, SIX TERRITORIES, ONE QUESTION: WHAT DOES REGENERATIVE PRODUCTION LOOK LIKE IN REAL LIFE? WORK WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES, CRAFT KNOWLEDGE AND MATERIALS. OPEN CALL COMING SOON.
Maker LITRA sits in Jernbanebyen, the former heart of the Danish State Railways. Since 1909, locomotives and carriages were repaired here in red brick workshops linked by tracks and turntables. Today it is the city's last industrial neighbourhood, soon to become a new residential district.
ADRESSING A SYSTEMIC CHALLENGE
Copenhagen is rebuilding fast, and much of the timber, brick and steel it removes is downcycled or burned. At the same time, the repair knowledge that once defined this site is fading. How can a district in transformation become a regenerative bank, where materials, skills and heritage stay in use?
Hybrid designers will collect and repurpose local material streams in Maker's workshops, creating projects for specific functions and sites across Jernbanebyen. The goal is to bring the area to life before the new district is built, and to take a stand on what is worth keeping.
