Our Urban Living Room explores the remarkable development of Copenhagen from a poor and unattractive industrial city to one of the most liveable urban capitals in the world.
Through a detailed presentation of the work of Danish architectural office Cobe, readers investigate Copenhagen's challenges - from density and social segregation to congested infrastructure and post-industrial redevelopment.
Cobe takes readers on a personal journey through Copenhagen's past and present, examining the office's architectural interventions that have contributed to the transformation of Copenhagen into a great urban living room.
The book includes interviews with some of the city's cultural luminaries, including Dan Stubbergaard, Bjarke Ingels, Jan Gehl, Tina Saaby, Jens Kramer Mikkelsen, René Redzepi, four-year-old Selina and Frej, and many more.
