Established in 1965, this school has been a driving force behind Denmark’s dynamic architectural scene. While it may seem like something of a newcomer, Aarhus School of Architecture actually has a rich history. The school started in a modest merchant house, which dates back to the 18th century.

This striking modern building is a testament to the school’s commitment to pushing boundaries and experimenting with forms and materials. You might be surprised to learn that this bustling hub of creativity boasts the highest concentration of architecture companies in the entire world.

Today, Aarhus School of Architecture attracts students every year from all over the globe, drawn to its forward-thinking curriculum and the vibrant city of Aarhus.
