Rooted in Roskilde Festival’s core values of community, creativity, and change, Hal 9 evolves from a former industrial hall into a dynamic creative hub encouraging co-creation, material reuse, and circular solutions. Designed as an open and evolving structure, Hal 9 integrates a modular wooden framework - built from reused materials - within the existing concrete hall. This adaptable design allows the space to shift and reshape over time, responding to its users’ needs.

The project embraces co-creation as a core principle, emphasising shared spaces and actively involving users in shaping its identity. Through participatory design and adaptable solutions, such as flexible partition walls made from reclaimed materials, the building layout can to be reconfigured in response to evolving needs. Materials from Roskilde Festival also play a key role, encouraging creative solutions with discarded ressources, such as festival tents repurposed as spatial elements.

The facade of Hal 9 is designed as a dynamic and adaptable system, incorporating reused materials that enables layering, disassembly, and renewal over time while improving the energy efficiency of the existing industrial structure. Large, flexible openings seamlessly connect the hall to its urban surroundings, enabling fluid transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces. At its core, a shared green courtyard integrates nature into the built environment, strengthening the notion of architecture as a continuously evolving and living system.
