ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the architects and project owners who graciously allowed us to feature their work in this book. Their detailed descriptions and visual materials provided valuable insights into their innovative and inspirational projects.

We also want to express our appreciation to the 200+ architects and project owners who submitted their projects. Although we could not feature all of them, we value their contributions and efforts in addressing the challenges of sustainable development. Your work is a source of hope and inspiration.

Architects all over Denmark are contributing to a sustainable future. Working on this volume members of the Danish Association of Architects have contributed in numerous ways; as members of the editorial committee, as practicing architects designing the projects submitted, as urban planners, public authority, clients and through the many other roles architects fill, as part of our collective work to reach the Goals. We thank you and look forward to seeing all the next steps towards a truly sustainable built environment.

This book marks a new installment in a series of architectural guides which have UN Sustainable Development Goals as their underlying principle, and its publication coincides with the UIA World Congress of Architects in Copenhagen in 2023. We are indebted to Annette Blegvad, who not only inspired the idea for this book but also served as the managing editor for the foundational “An Architecture Guide to the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals”, volume 1 and 2.

Our gratitude also extends to the rest of the team who created those two volumes, including Natalie Mossin, Lene Rose Sørensen, Sofie Stilling, Thomas Chevalier Bøjstrup, Vibeke Grupe Larsen, Maja Lotz, Ingeborg Christiane Hau and Christoffer Steensen Møller.

We recognize the crucial role that foundations and organizations play in funding new development and research that paves the way for a more sustainable future. While we were unable to provide information on the funding for each individual project, we extend our gratitude to the foun- dations whose contributions were essential to the realization of the architecture featured in this book, including the philanthropic association Realdania, Lokale og Anlægsfonden (The Danish Foundation for Culture and Sports Facilities), TrygFonden, The Nordea Foundation, A.P. Møller and Chastine Mc-Kinney Møller Foundation, The Bevica Foundation, Villum Fonden and many others.

Finally, we would like to thank the Axel Muusfeldts Foundation for their generous financial contribution to this book, which helped bring this project to fruition.
