Start the day in the church pews!

In our regular programme fixture «today's sermon» we invite dedicated professionals up on the pulpit to present a challenge within the 2026 Triennale's title question – "What if Nature Comes First?" – and a solution. Drop by the Sofienberg Church in the morning hours and start the day with church coffee and a short lecture.

This morning we meet Christian Dahle, who will hold the sermon "Time, Reuse and Architecture: The Growth of a New Tradition". Here, he will talk about the potential of reuse in terms of both architecture and business. Referencing both his own practice and pointing to specific projects, he will highlight some of the major challenges and possibilities in this part of the architecture business today.

Christian Dahle is an architect, running his own practice. As the leader of the Oslo Council for City Architecture and the Chairman of the Board in the Association of Consulting Architect Companies of Norway, he is passionate for architecture that creates value for both the client and the society. Dahle is former partner and leader of C.F. Møller Architects Norway, and has won a number of architecture prizes.

The doors open and the coffee is ready from 08 PM. Today's sermon starts at 08:15.
