Campus in Copenhagen

Kai Otto Architects used öko skin slats in sahara for the facade of the building in Schillerstraße. The different sand-blasted surfaces give the facade a sense of vibrancy. Photos: Ditz Fejer

The Collegiate School was founded in 1628 and is the oldest school of its kind in the US. The new 180.000-square metre building accommodates state-of-the-art classrooms, laboratories, a gym, a practice studio, an auditorium, a theatre and a café. For the facade, the architects at Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates used concrete skin slabs in silver grey and liquid black.
