DIAS opened 10 years ago!
The Danish Institute for Advanced Study (DIAS) is an elite research centre located at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense. Since its inauguration, the building has become a natural part of the university campus, with its detailing firmly rooted in the design principles of the original buildings from 1966.
Simple colours, as well as concrete and corten steel as the main materials, create a strong connection to the surroundings, compliments the landscape and helps maintain cohesiveness and a clear design identity. A quality that has become even more apparent after a decade in use.
