Cobe Founder Dan Stubbergaard kicks off Spring 2024 studio at Harvard University
Cobe Founder and Professor in Practice of Urban Design, Dan Stubbergaard, has kicked off his Spring 2024 studio, 'City as Resource', at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. The studio will focus on urban adaptive reuse in the ‘already built-up city’ in the context of climate change and resource scarcity, with Berlin serving as a test site.
The studio seeks to explore new paths for urban development within the boundaries of our planet and the boundaries of the already built environment. This involves investigations on how urban development needs can be accommodated through cultures of reuse, reparation, retrofit, and sensible densification of the existing rather than prevailing practices of obsoletion, replacement, extraction, and expansion.
