Paraply is an annual architecture workshop hosted at the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen in the summer.

We question the role of the architect in the context of the everyday, veering away from grand gestures and total control, and moving toward an exploration of what it means to be present, collective, and responsive with the resources at hand.

Beyond material experiments, we delve in to the peripheries of architecture. We embrace learning by doing, free from the traditional parameters of the subject, and putting computer-aided design tools aside. We work with our hands and ideas with more attention to process than fixed outcome.

Join us in August 2026 for our fourth edition.
