Assemble! audio series accompanies the conference of the homonymous title hosted within the context of the first Copenhagen Architecture Biennial curated by Josephine Michau. By bringing together a multidisciplinary pool of practitioners, the conference is developed around three legal proposals with the ambition of rethinking the regulations, ownership models, and design processes that quietly define our cities. Assemble! is a structural experiment, a policy rehearsal, and a launchpad for bold ideas to become real-world action.
