Cobe exhibits at Harvard University
Cobe exhibits The Opera Park at Harvard University as part of the exhibition, 'Architecture as an Instruction-based Art'. The exhibition, which has just opened, brings together some of the world's most renowned architects and highlights how architects, unlike traditional artists, do not create finished works of art but detailed instructions through drawings that guide all parties involved in the construction process. These drawings are crucial for planning and shaping both the structure and the experience of a building and a public space.
The exhibition is open until October 15, 2024, at Druker Design Gallery at Harvard University in Boston, USA.

In celebration of Realdania's 25th anniversary, Cobe has teamed up with ReVærk, Archival Studies, Pihlmann Architects, Rumgehør, and Studio XYZ to create 150 new communal spaces in Denmark.
Named The Workshop, The Conservatory, The Nature Base, and The Community Roof, the communal spaces are a series of small pavilions, designed with the goal of maximizing community interaction while minimizing environmental impact. The meeting places will be constructed using recycled, surplus, and biogenic materials, and they are also designed for future disassembly and recycling, ensuring they leave no physical traces on their sites. By the end of 2026, at least 150 of these structures will be built. The meeting places are gifted to communities, with the sole requirement of strengthening and uniting the local community.
