The Habitable Skin - Opening

Join us on May 15th for the opening of our new immersive exhibition, The Habitable Skin. Studio Coquille and TERROIR, in collaboration with Lasse Carlsen and MYCO, bring this explorative exhibition to CAFx.

Originally conceptualized for the Venice Biennale 2027 in collaboration with Professor Ellen Braae and PhD fellow Taryn Humphrey, the exhibition examines an architectural language of cohabitation between humans and more-than-human species.

On the evening of the opening, Studio Coquille and TERROIR will guide visitors through the outdoor "Insect Bridge"—a structure built specifically for the exhibition. Following the tour, enjoy a talk exploring the theoretical ideas behind a city designed for multiple kinds of life forms.

The Habitable Skin is an exhibition that reimagines the boundary as architecture’s most critical ecological Nexus. Not as a line of separation, but as a space of interaction. It asks what it would mean for the skin to be habitable - not only for humans, but for other forms of life? To create a skin that lets in rain, sound, light, breath—offering space for nesting, rooting, and coexisting?

With a natural bridge for insects linking green spaces in the urban fabric, and mushrooms cultivated indoors, Habitable Skin asks how we might design with space and time, instead of against them. The exhibition shows how façades, walls, roofs, and floors can become shared surfaces—porous, responsive, and alive - while reminding us how we are already living with and among other species. Habitable Skin is a living architectural experiment creating interactions and knowledge as species live together.

In this space, coexistence is no longer a condition. It is a design principle. A responsibility. And a possibility. To rethink the skin is to rethink the role of architecture itself: not as a shelter from the world, but as a structure within it—situated, sensory, and capable of coexistence.

Studio Coquille - Marion de Saint Blanquat & Frederik Mads Svendsen
Studio Coquille Studio Coquille is an innovative design studio founded by architects Marion de Lingua de St Blanquat and Frederik Mads Svendsen. The collaboration began in Milan in 2015 when they won the open design competition for the Lebanese pavilion at the Venice Biennale. Since then, they have received several awards for open architectural competitions. The studio focuses on creating organic, sensory, and beautiful experiences that promote biological connections and co-creation between buildings and landscapes. In our architecture, we integrate different species to create richer and more dynamic ecosystems, which we consider a new welfare model and a sustainable approach to design.
