Team: Stig L. Andersson, Flemming Rafn Thomsen, Martin Søberg, Helene Koch
Recorded: 2008

On the exhibition BUILIDING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES at the Danish Architecture Centre SLA appears among the 21 featured Danish companies. SLA contributes the video 'Let’s Not Talk About Aesthetics' that presents new footage of different projects and reveals a behind the scenes view of the office’s approach to the pursuit of creating new urban experiences.

Let's Not Talk About Aesthetics presents material from these projects: Solbjerg Plads (Copenhagen), Sdr. Boulevard (Copenhagen), The Elephant House (Copenhagen), Jurys Berkeley Court (Dublin), Bjørvika (Oslo), The Metropolis Park (Copenhagen) and Trondheim Crossing.

The exhibition displays current examples of how architects, planners and engineers take social and ethical responsibility in the pursuit of creating sustainable living conditions all over the world.

SLA is also displayed on several large colourful sheets of a page-turning feature of the exhibition. Here the result is inspected and scrutinized by a SLA delegation present at the opening of the BUILDING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES.
