Asser Munch
My name is Asser Munch, I'm an architect and architecture guide in Copenhagen. On this blog I'm the author, photographer, programmer/webmaster, ...etc. I'm co-founder and co-owner of beCopenhagen ApS, that organises guided tours, sightseeing and events in Copenhagen and surrounding area. In my past I have teached at School of Architecture at the Aarhus School of Architecture and later as building architect at smaller, very diverse building projects. Architecture and the city's structure and causalities had my interest my whole career. I am instinctively suspicious towards the often bloated and overly intellectual language of my otherwise brilliant fellow architects, when they describe and justify their own or others design. Too often specultaive, pretentious, mystic or outright nonsense. As a teacher I found the ambition to communicate architecture in a straightforward and accessible manner. This is an ambition that I now carry on in my way of connecting dots through the city, not least for people with no professional knowledge or language . You can try it yourself and learn a lot about Copenhagen architecture, urban spaces and much more by joining one of my bike tours with beCopenhagen . You are more than welcome to bring colleagues, family, friends and you soccer team! You can contact me directly at asser@becopenhagen.dk. See you on the bike lanes in Copenhagen :)

LEGO House by BIG
It was almost just too obvious to pick Bjarke Ingels to design the LEGO House in Billund. And likewise, he just had to design it like an upscaled LEGO set.
