Captivating Checkerboard Structures

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Adult Education Center by CEBRA Features Cubed Accents

— June 9, 2012 — Art & Design
The Adult Education Center by CEBRA is located in the heart of Odense, Denmark. This stunning checkerboard-inspired structure features linear elements that vary in texture.

The public space is a project created in collaboration with developer E. Pihl & Son and engineering firm Hundsbaek & Henriksen. From its striking exterior facade that is lit up at night to its vast and open interior, this alluring architecture piece strays from the traditional.

Embracing dynamic design concepts, architecture firm CEBRA fuses a linear shell along with softer and more curved interior elements that give the structure an organic spatial arrangement.

Basing its design around the Greek concept of a central space, known as the Agora, the Adult Education Center by CEBRA celebrates the sharing of ideas.
