Double Exhibition in Copenhagen: Meeting at the Building + Ingredients & Cakes

The two exhibitions share the same interest: The Social Dimension of Housing, and they complement one another. One exhibition takes place at the Exhibition Hall of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. This show is called Meeting at the Building, and it fully documents the collective housing project 111 Building: from the first original drawings, models and photos, until 1 to 1 scale mock-ups and interviews with the neighbours living there for two years. The exhibition includes student’s drawings and films from the double workshop Barcelona-Copenhagen, held in January 2013, and presents other study cases of collective buildings from both cities.

The other venue is in a former Bakery, converted now into the private gallery and architecture studio Leth & Gori. The exhibition is called Ingredients & Cakes, and shows big containers with previous projects that form a background to the 111 Building. During the exhibition days, the gallery flashes back into its Bakery times, and also displays cakes related to the different projects shown inside. The biscuits and choco-lollypops are a collaborative design with Escribà Pastry Shop from Barcelona, and the window-shop is designed by British artist Soraya Smithson.
