Leth & Gori builds pop-up house on staircase of OMA-designed BLOX in Copenhagen
Leth Gori The work of architecture studio Leth & Gori is currently on show at the Danish Architecture Centre in Copenhagen, in a full-scale model house built on top of a staircase. Copenhagen-based Leth & Gori has installed its exhibition The Art of Building in the Stair Gallery of the architecture centre, which forms part of the new BLOX complex designed by OMA. In response to the changing levels of the space, the house spans three storeys. Inside it, a 1:20 model of the same structure is on display, along with a series of other models and drawings by the studio. Leth & Gori designed the exhibition to introduce visitors to its particular way of working, which focuses on the "art" of building with natural materials. "We believe that extraordinary architectural qualities can be found where the treatment of the materials interacts with the physical location," said the studio, which is led by architects Uffe Leth and Karsten Gori.
