COBE - In Transformation

Dan Stubbergaard's architecture office is known for working symbiotically with the existing architectural fabric. Here, two decades of Cobe are explored through seventeen transformation projects. The book examines the thinking behind keeping and renewing, and the dilemmas that arise when choosing to preserve the built environment rather than replacing it with something new. Spanning scales and typologies, from large masterplans and regeneration to small interventions, each project tells its own story, forming a nuanced portrait of an undogmatic approach to transformation - one that balances history with relevance, and heritage with the needs of today and tomorrow.
