    • The Henning Larsen Foundation

      The Henning Larsen Foundation was first established in 2001 with Henning Larsen’s private funds. The purpose of the Foundation is to promote and disseminate Danish architecture in a broad sense. Each year on the founder's birthday August 20, one or more grants are awarded.

    • A number of young Danish architects have been awarded grants. And in 2007, 2008, 2012, 2015, and 2017, the Foundation has additionally organized international competitions in the fields of architectural photography, architectural drawing, writing about architecture, architecture and film, as well as architecture and music.

      The objective of the non-profit, charitable Foundation is to support Danish architecture – through further training, traveling grants, exhibition activities, publication of architecture books, and development and implementation of information technology for architectural purposes. The Foundation awards grants in acknowledgement of architects who have developed significant buildings or demonstrated other achievements of high quality.

      The Foundation is a natural extension of Henning Larsen’s personal interest in communicating and advancing architecture in parallel to his work as an architect and his professorship at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture. This interest is also reflected in his establishment of SKALA architecture gallery and SKALA architecture magazine in the eighties.

      The Board consists of: 

        Troels Troelsen, architect (Chairman)
        Kent Martinussen, architect, CEO, Danish Architecture Centre
        Ingela Larsson, Architect
        Simon Ingvartsen, Architect  
        Bente Scavenius, Mag.art.
        Lone Backe, MA, BA in Art History
        Niels Bang, Lawyer

    • The Henning Larsen Foundation Award

    • As an extension of Foundation's core purpose - to promote and disseminate Danish architecture in a broad sense - one or more grants are awarded each year on Henning Larsen's birthday. A number of young Danish architects (including some now-famous names) have been awarded grants as part of this program, and in select years the foundation has held open international competitions to encourage global participation in the program. 

      The 2021 edition asked entrants to explore ideas around architecture and utopia; previous editions have explored photography and architecture (2007), drawing architecture (2008), writing about architecture (2012), architecture and film (2015), and architecture and music (2017).
