Deadline: 4 September 2024
The Danish Arts Foundation together with the Utzon Foundation, wishes to provide the possibility for architects and others affiliated with the Danish architecture scene to apply for residencies at Can Lis, Jørn Utzon’s house on Mallorca.
The Danish Arts Foundation’s Committee for Architecture wishes to promote the artistic dimensions of architecture in Denmark and Danish architecture abroad.
This house is an aesthetic experience and architecturally, a fully consistent building, which – due to the materials used, its location, its unique interiors, and distinctive architectural layout – is the perfect place to spend a longer period fully immersed in one’s work.
Cost Covered
- A residency at Can Lis free of charge at a specific available time period.
- Funding for travel and transport costs related to the residency.
Who may apply?
- Architects and others affiliated with the architecture scene.
- Individuals, architecture firms, and groups may also apply.
Evaluation Criteria
- The committee will prioritize applications that displays an intent to create a valuable contribution to the field of architecture and to society in general. The committee will review applications based on the following three criteria for artistic quality:
- Reflection: A fundamental understanding for the context, that you are working in and a considerate and caring approach in relation to the chosen means, the expressions created and the imprint and potential impact that it might have.
- Relevance: A will to create a contribution that is a valuable contribution to the field of architecture, to society in general or provides a new basis for relevant new insights.
- Aesthetic understanding: A fundamental aesthetical understanding and a curiosity for architectural effects and an awareness about how aesthetic experiences are forged.
