Cohousing in Denmark: Explorations of Sustainable Living

Join us this Friday to welcome architect Michael Asgaard Andersen as he delves into his studies on cohousing models in Denmark. The interest in community, sharing, and climate-conscious living is more widespread than ever. Since the first cohousing communities were established in Denmark in the 1970s, this form of housing has become widespread and recognized in Denmark and internationally – not least for its ability to provide a framework for sustainable living. The lecture will discuss how cohousing is considered a way of living that fulfills our individual needs and contributes to addressing societal and global challenges. It will take a historic trajectory leading up to the current housing experiments shown in the exhibition.
