CEBRA Files 04

As the scale and complexity of the projects they contain have grown, so too has the footprint of CEBRA files. This edition, the fourth in a series of monographs that chart the architectural and speculative output of the Danish office CEBRA, sees the firm expand internationally to Toronto, Monterrey, Abu Dhabi, and elsewhere across the globe. Through a chronological presentation of projects from 2013–2020, a pattern emerges: in both large and small projects, bold expressions, CEBRA’s signa- ture crystalline geometry and what founding partner Mikkel Frost calls ‘archi- tectural fractals’ are tempered through a sense of approachability, tactility, and co-authorship. With an interview by designboom’s Philip Stevens and 35 new projects, CEBRA files 04 marks the 20th anniversary of one of Denmark’s most iconic design firms.
