MADE by the Opera House is a visionary exchange program between Australia and Denmark
Each year, the Multidisciplinary Australian Danish Exchange – also known as MADE by the Opera House – gives five Australian and five Danish students of architecture, engineering or design the opportunity to work on a multidisciplinary project and undertake a study tour in the other country.
Strengthening the cultural and professional links between the two countries
MADE aims to strengthen the profound cultural and professional links first forged between the two countries through Danish architect Jørn Utzon’s World Heritage-listed masterpiece. Five Australians will travel to Denmark in January 2016 to take part in a six-week multidisciplinary project, working across the key fields that came together in the Opera House’s original construction. Each student will receive professional mentoring and coaching, as well as exposure to wide range of Danish organizations, architects, engineers and designers.

The MADE by the Opera House exchange program is supported by Sydney Opera House, The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (Schools of Architecture, Design & Conservation), Arup, Steensen Varming, The NSW Architects Registration Board and three Danish foundations: The Bikuben Foundation, The Dreyer Foundation and The Obel Family Foundation.
