DIS (University) – Open Lecture and Conversation

  • Metropolitanskolen 6 Fiolstræde København, 1171 Denmark (map)

In this presentation, you will learn from the leading architect and builder of cohousing globally. Durrett will impart his decades of experience so that you understand what cohousing is, how it got started, how it’s designed, what its benefits are to the residents, and how it incorporates participatory design to promote more socially equitable and environmentally sustainable communities. He will also discuss how Danish cohousing has influenced cohousing in the U.S., where it has gone further in the U.S., especially addressing issues like diversity and affordability, and what we have yet to learn from each other.
