CEBRA works
In the image book CEBRA works, we present a curated collection of carefully composed architectural photographs, each offering a distinct perspective on artistic works designed by CEBRA.

Across full-bleed pages, the clothbound publication unfolds in expansive spreads and thoughtful pairings, presenting a series of architectural glimpses. Divided into three parts – Domestic, Occupational, and Public – it explores significant spaces in various scales and settings. Whether in building design, urban development, landscape, or interior, the visual compilation offers a rounded, aesthetic insight into CEBRA’s artistic approach to architecture.

CEBRA works – ideal as an inspiring coffee table book – is published by CEBRA and can be acquired through cebra@cebraarchitecture.dk.

The CEBRA_files series
Since 2007, we have published four CEBRA_files books. Four monographic portfolios including our projects and architectural ideas, designed in the same format and with the same nerve and ambition – to thoroughly present our works and share our conceptual ideas.

The latest volume, the CEBRA_files_04, is published by Stockholm-based Arvinius+Orfeus, and the book’s 400 pages is a graphic tour de force through our architectural universe, richly illustrated with hundreds of drawings, illustrations and photographs. Furthermore, CEBRA_files_04 contains an interview with designboom’s Philip Stevens. The CEBRA_files_04 book can be purchased here.

We Build Drawings
We Build Drawings – a CEBRA book made with Dutch FRAME publishers.

Architects do not actually build buildings. What we build is an idea. To visualize it, we build drawings. The evolutionary process of how aphorisms develop into precise architectural concepts is illustrated through a collection of over 200 sketches and watercolours. The book sheds light on how architects may develop ideas and communicate them with hand drawings. The book includes a written version Mikkel Frost´s TEDx Talk on hand drawing.

We Build Drawings is relevant for both professionals and students. It will inspire and entertain all people interested in architecture for hours. Visit FRAME for more details and to get your own copy.

Beyond the Roadmap: A transition plan for the Danish building industry
The report Beyond the Roadmap expands the typical scope of simply reducing CO₂ emissions: How can Danish construction build within the planet’s limits – not only by emitting less, but by actively supporting and restoring climate, biodiversity, and ecosystems?

The report presents the Butterfly Framework, outlining how developers and other building industry actors can, over 60 years, offset historical harm and transition toward real sustainability through regenerative construction. Data-driven and science-aligned, it offers business models, financing strategies, and social equity principles for the industry to get within the safe operating space of planetary boundaries.

Beyond the Roadmap is open source and available free of charge on reductionroadmap.dk. The report is developed by the Reduction Roadmap collaboration between CEBRA, EFFEKT, and Artelia Danmark and supported by Realdania and Dreyers Fond.

The WISE Journal
The WISE Journal is an extensive mixed-media publication resulting from the studio’s WISE R&D programme. The publication investigates the dynamic relationship between architecture, humans, and human activities in learning and work environments by bringing into conversation different disciplines and some of the world’s foremost thinkers. In addition, it offers its readers food for thought on how to translate this cross-disciplinary exploration into architectural practice to create intentional stimulating spaces for humans to create, collaborate and contemplate.

The publication comprises written and video interviews with some of the world’s foremost thinkers from companies such as The LEGO Group, Spotify, and Pinterest, as well as institutions like the University of Toronto, Politecnico di Milano, Design for Change, the Danish Technical University. Moreover, the publication features more than 65 essays and several case studies that search and showcase how stimulating architecture can support well-being, learning, and productivity.

You can get the full publication on Apple Books and on www.wise-journal.com.
