synonymaarhus school of architecture (Aarhus Institute of Architecture) generally refers to Aarhus Institute of Architecture
Aarhus School of Architecture (Danish: Arkitektskolen Aarhus English translation: Aarhus School of Architecture abbreviated as AAA) is located in Aarhus, Jutland, Denmark, with about 800 students and 160 teaching staff.It is also one of the only two architectural colleges in Denmark, and has been certified by the Ministry of Education of China.The college is also known as the Nordic Theological School because of its unique pursuit of artistic architectural concepts.
The original intention of the Danish government was to prevent architects from being too concentrated in the Greater Copenhagen area.As a research institute of higher learning directly under the jurisdiction of the Danish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Higher Education, AAA and the Danish Royal Academy of Architecture and Arts (Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi in Danish) are jointly responsible for the professional education of architects in Denmark.Since its establishment in 1965, the college has cultivated nearly 5000 masters of architecture.
Students who graduated from Aarhus College of Architecture can applyDanish Institute of Architects, and hold an architect's license MAA, with which you can apply to work in a Danish architectural firm and be protected by the Association.[1]The Royal Institute of Architects (RIBA) recognizes the PART 2 certification of Aarhus School of Architecture graduates.[2]It means that graduates of the school can apply for the title of British and Danish architects.

aarhus school of architecture Founded in 1965, it has exported about 5000Master of Architecture。CJ LIM, who was selected by the British Guardian as one of the new and talented architects in Britain, evaluated Aarhus Architecture Institute as one of the top ten architectural universities or colleges in the world in public when teaching in the school.The college has played a positive role in promoting the reputation of Aarhus as an international design and construction city.Aarhus, located on the east bank of Jutland Peninsula and known as the second largest city in Denmark, was chosen as the European cultural capital in 2017.Aarhus is a city full of artistic atmosphere. It has 142 construction companies (employing more than 1000 employees), and is also the most densely populated city of design and architectural design companies in the world.Many of these companies have achieved international success, and most of them are closely related to Aarhus Design Institute.Most of the founders of Denmark's old architectural firms graduated from this school.Aarhus Architecture College plans to build a new campus near the old railway station in Aarhus.[3]In 2015, three international architecture firms successfully entered the late stage of the architectural design competition for the new campus, namely BIG from Denmark, SANAA from Japan and LACATON&VASSAL from France.
Background

edit
The EU publishes the comprehensive innovation capability report of 27 member countries every year. Since 2005, Denmark and Finland have always ranked first and second. Many important indicators are related to education and talent cultivation. The advantages of Nordic countries in these aspects are self-evident.
Due to the lack of natural resources, human resources have become the most important resources in the Nordic countries."Education is actually related to theSocial welfare systemEveryone has the right to education, which is both a right and a social responsibility.In northern Europe, parents will go to prison if they don't let their children go to school.Because children are social wealth.The state should ensure that everyone is educated and adapted to the society so that they can develop better. "Education in Nordic countries is free from primary school to university.Denmark is just a microcosm. In fact, the education system of the Nordic countries has not only cultivated scientists and engineers, but also a team of highly skilled ordinary workers. In these countries, colleges and universities are very important for technological invention, but vocational and technical education and enterprise technical training are more important for the diffusion of technological achievements.If creation is a seed, the system that the government encourages invention and creation provides fertile soil for this seed.The reason why Nordic countries have strong innovation capacity is that they have formed a set of systematic national innovation policies very early and adjusted the role of government in innovation very early.Nordic people's admiration for creativity, science and technology, innovation can be said to have been integrated into the blood.The Nordic countries are very poor in resources. Apart from the oil found in Norway, there are no other resources.In addition, the Nordic winter is very long and the natural conditions are bad, which makes the Nordic people develop a diligent character. They do things very seriously and don't know how to be lazy.Nordic people must rely on struggle and competition to achieve success.The things made by Nordic people are very fine and of high quality.From the institutional point of view, the government does not protect the manufacturing industry, which has led to the emergence of small countries, large companies, small products and large markets.Danes are good at making their profession bigger and stronger to the extreme. For example, hearing aids in Denmark account for almost 90% of the global market share.Maersk Shipping has 500 ships and 1.9 million containers, providing transportation services worldwide.Maersk Shipping has become the world's largest container ship operator.DanishBIG Architecture Firm, has also become the most active office in the architecture industry today, and the world's best Michelin restaurant is also located in Copenhagen, etc.
In the 19th century, Northern Europe was still the poorest region in Europe, due to cold climate, long crop growth cycle and backward production mode.Today, Northern Europe has become the richest region in the world, and all this comes from creativity.Some people say that part of the creativity of Nordic people stems from this sense of loneliness.The long night is meditation: for example, why did God create people, or simply find an axe to start carpentry.The former became a thinker, while the latter made Denmark a famous "country of architects".
Denmark has a population of only 5 million, but it is a world famous cultural country. Denmark has bred world cultural celebrities and scientists, such as fairy tale writer Andersen, copywriter Carl Nielsen, atomic physicist Niels Bohr, sculptor Tolson, theologian Kierkegaard, dancer Bunonville, and architect Jacobson;In the 20th century, 12 Danes wonNobel Prize。Denmark is a world leader in architecture, astronomy, biology, environmental science, meteorology, anatomical research, immunology, speed of light calculation, electromagnetism, serum research and nuclear physics research.Pursue the cultural policy of making every member of society develop culturally, and encourage local development of cultural undertakings.
Denmark is famous for its rich life, clean air and beautiful natural environment.In architecture, it is an elegant and changeable architectural expression, comfortable lines, diligent presentation of details, and eye-catching architectural form.Denmark has a glorious and long history in architecture.Danish architectural design enjoys a good reputation all over the world and has always maintained a high artistic standard and developed consistently.Denmark has world-renowned architectural design masters, such as Jorn Utzon, whose most famous architectural design work is the legendary Sydney Opera House.Another example of Danish architectural designer is Arne Jacobsen, who is a professional and versatile designer. His design works cover all categories from architecture to furniture, lamps and tableware.His works are often a system, because he always designs buildings, interiors, furniture, lamps and accessories together, with simple shapes and emphasis on functionality.The "simplicity", "function", "people-oriented" and "dialogue with nature" advocated by old architects such as Jacobson and John Wuzhong have been inherited and reinterpreted by the younger generation of architects.
Now active in the construction industryBIG Architecture FirmAnd 3XN Architecture Firm, which have global influence.Bjarke Ingels Group，People used to call it BIG, which is an architectural studio composed of architects, product designers and other designers who are crazy about architecture.When presenting their architectural concepts and design steps, BIG often uses rational diagrams to understate the madness of form.The reason why BIG is representative among Danish architects is that each of their works is such a realistic utopian experiment.
In Denmark, architects believe that the best architecture should be built around the needs of users. It should be architecture to adapt to people, not people to adapt to architecture. At the same time, architectural design should take into account the needs of everyone and the public.In Denmark, architects and designers in various fields take the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of "educating the society". They try their best to make ordinary people feel the design that conforms to aesthetics and living habits, and constantly stimulate ordinary people's feelings of good design until they become psychologically dependent on "design".Good design can be understood by everyone. Under the condition of good design appreciation of the public, simple imitators will be embarrassed.What designers get is respect and recognition, as well as more business and opportunities.National emotion makes Danish architects cherish local elements. Most of them use local materials, which directly leads to the fact that architecture is not separated from the environment.They often say, "It seems that it grows out of the soil under its feet."
The average level of most local architecture firms in Denmark is very high, and the founders of many large and excellent firms also graduated fromaarhus school of architecture 。
Arkitema is the largest architectural design firm in Denmark and Northern Europe, with nearly 300 high-quality employees, architectural designersLandscape architectArchitectural structure designer, project supervisorConstruction economist, ArchitectureDecorative DesignerandGraphic designerThe projects designed by Arcadima cover Europe and America, and some large-scale design projects have been successfully completed in China. Various public facilities and building projects designed by Arcadima include stadiums, hospitals, hotels, office buildings, shopping malls, apartment houses, libraries, museums, schools, kindergartens, etc. In addition, Arcadima also has landscape design,Interior design and furniture design departments.In 2005, Akodima began to take charge of the overall renovation and decoration project of the Royal Palace of Amerinburg in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, for the use of Danish Crown Prince Frederick and his wife.Its enterprise spirit is to create a difference and integrate its own characteristics into the architectural design. In the design, it is not only concerned with the form and function of the building, but also pays more attention to the overall effect of the design.We strive to achieve the best in terms of architectural function, space distribution and aesthetic effect, as well as economic, social and environmental considerations.
Lundgaard&Tranberg Architects，Many important buildings have been completed locally, such as the Danish Royal Performance Center, and this "Tulou" apartment which won the 2007 Royal Society of British Architects European Excellent Architecture Award.This student apartment belongs toIT UIliversity of Copenhagen , located in the north of Orestad, Denmark, three kilometers away from the city center.The architect said that his inspiration came from the traditional folk house in southern China - Tulou: he drew on the characteristics of Tulou family's settlement and the unique round idea of equality and integration;What weakens is the defensive nature of traditional earth buildings, emphasizing openness and communication.The seven story circular building has 360 dormitories, which are available to more than 400 students.Architects not only focus on creating space for communication, but also think about the needs of the collective and individual, and divide the communication into different levels: the inner courtyard provides a platform for all students to communicate, and is the main place for public activities;The open terrace provides communication between floors;The veranda, public kitchen and recreation room provide opportunities for residents on the same floor to meet;The small unit with two bedrooms provides communication space inside the dormitory.This kind of space level setting naturally generates the form of building concavo convex stacking and well arranged.
3XN, one of the most active and experimental architecture firms in Denmark, soon became famous in Denmark and became active on the international architecture stage with its extreme admiration for pioneering architecture, criticism of modernism and harsh requirements for quality.The Blue Planet Aquarium is one of 3XN's most successful architectural designs.The "Blue Planet", located on the coast of Castrup, is the largest aquarium in Europe and is regarded as the building with the most potential to become a landmark in Denmark.3XN imagines the building as a vortex in the water flow with a fairy tale imagination. The blocks with different functions are rotated and twisted, resulting in a curved wing with an elegant arc on the building surface. This wing blurs the boundary between the facade and the roof. The attached aluminum plate reflects the sky and light like a fish scale, giving the building a rich expression.The arcs on the vortex are imagined as oceans, rivers and lakes, which are used as building moving lines to connect different blocks and converge at the midpoint of the vortex;In the central circular hall, you can choose different tour routes.This non-linear visiting mode also reflects Danish architects' respect for people.The beautiful and highly complex shape of the blue planet does not exist without function. Danish architects generally believe that architectural beauty without function is meaningless.Building system and marine biological system are built on the "Blue Planet" at the same time.3XN adds the most advanced seawater temperature and salinity adjustment technology to this building, which not only provides more secure living space and bionic environment for tens of thousands of marine organisms, but also designs many dynamic acousto-optic and onomatopoeia effects full of interactive modes.Delicate design thinking permeates into all systems of architectural design, allowing people to immerse themselves in the whole blue planet.
SHL,Danish SHL Architects, with more than 20 years of experience, is one of the most award-winning and well-known architects in Scandinavia, committed to innovative and sustainable design. The firm has offices in Aarhus, Copenhagen, London, Oslo and Shanghai.The work of Danish SHL Architects attaches great importance to the close relationship between buildings and their environment, and uses natural resources, such as light, as a part of the design process.Like sustainability, functionality is the key to every project. The firm also tries its best to explore the important relationship between art, design and architecture.

The education of Aarhus College is based on the form of design studio, emphasizing learning in design work.The college regards practice as the basis of teaching, while maintaining the attention of architectural artistic techniques.The architectural teaching of the college is mainly carried out around the creation process of architectural forms through full-scale physical models.Most of the teachers in school are full-time teaching and educating people in the college, without their own practice office, which makes them more able to concentrate on teaching.
The equipment in the college design studio meets the world's top demand.Including 3D printers,Laser printer, steel cutter, mechanical arm, woodworking workshop, electrical workshop, model warehouse, gypsum and cement workshop.The studio allows students to explore and practice their ideas with 3D full-scale models and is open to students all day long.In addition, the college also has a special library and material store to provide support and help for students' learning.
campus
As students are required to be responsible for their own design projects and art research and development, students studying at Aarhus Architecture College need to be highly independent.
The college actively participates in international cooperation and provides students with opportunities for internships, exchange projects and international lectures.Recently, the college has cooperated with the Central Academy of Fine Arts of China to establish a joint studio to carry out teaching activities.Carry out the joint master's program of green building with Tsinghua University.
Aarhus College of Architecture also provides continuous education, and after graduation, it is awarded a master's degree in architecture and art.The conditions for admission to the School of Architecture in Denmark are extremely strict.
Applicants must meet the following conditions: they must have a Danish high school diploma with an average score of at least 11 points equivalent to B, and their Danish and English proficiency is good, but meeting these two conditions does not guarantee that they will be admitted.If the applicant has to attend the three-day exam held by the university, only 50% of the students can get the qualification to take the exam, and only one third of the students who take the exam can pass the exam and be admitted.The focus of the examination is to examine the students' design, understanding of space and spatial relations, creativity, painting, writing and problem solving abilities.
Most of the admitted students are Danish students, and a small number of international students are recruited from around the world every year.IELTS requires at least 6.5.In addition, a large number of exchange students are mostly from European countries and around the world to increase academic and ideological exchanges, while maintaining the traditional foundation of Danish architecture.Together with the Royal Academy of Architecture, it enjoys a high reputation in the local area.The college provides architecture based on artistic exploration, which is not only different from other countries in the world, but also unique in the Nordic countries.It has attracted a large number of exchange students from Sweden, Norway and Iceland.
"Building into life" is the vision of the college.As designers of the future physical and non-material environment and important participants in social activities, the college hopes to make its students aware of their responsibilities and challenges in education.
To achieve this vision, the college also needs to actively participate in social activities.Therefore, the college has adopted corresponding strategies to actively participate in domestic and international cooperation, and tries to solve social problems from the perspective of architecture.

Since the first oil crisis in 1973, pursuing a positive energy policy has become a long tradition in Denmark.Over the years, on the basis of broad consensus reached by the Parliament, Denmark has taken a variety of actions - both to reduce energy consumption and to increase the proportion of renewable energy.Cities play a particularly important demonstration role in sustainable green urban development.More than half of the world's population lives in citiescarbon dioxideEmissions account for 75% of global emissions.Since the 1970s, the positive Danish climate and energy policies to promote green transformation have achieved remarkable results: Denmark's experience shows that through sustained and positive energy policies, attention is paid to improving energy efficiency in buildings, district heating systems and industries, and full use of renewable energy, high economic growth can be maintained,At the same time, we will reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.In terms of production, compared with other EU member countries and OECD countries, Denmark is the country with the highest energy efficiency.During the 2008-2012 Kyoto Protocol, Denmark has been committed to the ambitious goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 21% - this goal has been achieved.By 2020, the Danish government aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% compared with 1990.Denmark has laid a good foundation for the future of energy.The Danish government has set a long-term goal of abandoning fossil fuels by 2050.We have established the right direction, and renewable energy accounts for more than 40% of Denmark's electricity consumption.By expanding offshore wind power generation and using biomass energy, it is estimated that by 2020, renewable energy will account for nearly 70% of Denmark's power generation.
Denmark's energy policy - striving to achieve the goal of 100% renewable energy and green transportation by 2050 Denmark has basically realized that economic growth does not depend on more greenhouse gas emissions.Since the late 1970s, thanks to the continuous improvement of energy efficiency, expanding the regional heating network, increasing the heating capacity of cogeneration, and increasing the proportion of renewable energy in the energy system, efforts have been made to achieve the transformation of green energy.In the past 30 years, while the economy has grown by nearly 80%, Denmark has made great efforts to reduce the national energy consumption and achieve green energy consumption.The next step is to realize Denmark's long-term vision. By 2050, Denmark's energy supply in the field of energy and transportation will be 100% renewable energy.To achieve this goal, we need not only long-term national policies to set the general direction and policy framework, but also active and creative cooperation between local cities and citizens at all levels to implement these policies and identify and test these new and specific green solutions.
Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark with 550000 residents, aims to become the first carbon neutral capital in the world by 2025.In August 2012, the Copenhagen City Council issued the Copenhagen 2025 Climate Plan.When Copenhagencarbon dioxideWhen the net emissions are zero, the city will achieve carbon neutrality, and then the carbon emissions of Copenhagen will be reduced to the minimum, and external measures will be used to offset the remaining emissions.
Aarhus is a vibrant city on the Jutland Peninsula in Denmark.324000 people live in the urban area of Aarhus, and the total population of Greater Aarhus reaches 1.2 million people.Aarhus is the second largest city in Denmark and the largest city in the mainland of Jutland Peninsula.The local characteristics of Aarhus are the knowledge center, innovation center, investment in urban architectural design, new technology solutions, and the grand goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 issued by the city council.Aarhus encourages the establishment of innovative partnerships with major enterprises and scientific research institutions to jointly develop energy-saving and clean energy technologies.
Like most OECD countries, more than 40% of Denmark's total energy consumption comes from building energy consumption.In order to save energy consumption of buildings, Denmark has implemented new building energy conservation standards since 1961. Danish building standards stipulate energy conservation requirements for new buildings, which cover heating, cooling, ventilation, domestic hot water and lighting.Since 1961, building energy efficiency standards have been improved for many times. Today, the heat demand of new buildings is only about 25% of that before 1977.Before the first oil crisis in 1973, almost all energy consumption in Denmark, especially building energy consumption, depended on oil.This means that due to the cold climate and long heating season in Denmark, when the oil price rose sharply at the end of 1973, building heating became extremely expensive.In order to ensure that new buildings have a high level of energy efficiency, the energy efficiency standards of new buildings were raised in 1977, and government subsidies for energy-saving renovation of existing buildings were introduced in 1978. These subsidies were implemented until 1984.The latest building standard is the mandatory new building energy consumption standard in 2011, but it also puts forward stricter energy conservation standards for new buildings in the future, and has been written into the legislative requirements in 2015 and 2020.By 2020, the energy conservation requirements of Danish new buildings will be quite strict: new buildings must be "near zero" energy consumption buildings, and the required energy is mainly provided by renewable energy or central heating.

Graduates of Aarhus School of Architecture usually work for private construction companies or public institutions.Some graduates will also choose to continue to study for a doctorate. In Denmark, doctoral students are paid positions.
The college provides a series of career development opportunities aimed at improving the employment rate of graduates, including career studios focusing on entrepreneurship, supplementary education courses and internship opportunities in Denmark or abroad.Denmark is one of the countries with the most cutting-edge design concepts and technologies in the world. It has attracted many architects from other EU countries to look for jobs. In addition, Denmark basically does not demolish and rebuild old houses, and its population growth rate is low. As a result, the number of houses built has been very low. The competition among major firms is extremely fierce. Most of the architectural firms are actively participating in overseas projects.
