Copenhill by BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group)
Copenhill has opened the exterior of the waster to power facility as a ski slope and a truly awesome public space! Get up there (after you’ve read this)!
Architecture
Urban Rigger 2.0 by BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group)
Finally, after years of waiting, the first prototype of the ‘Urban Rigger’ student residence has company, with no less than 5 new units.
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.
Grundtvig’s Church by P. V. Jensen-Klint
The Grundtvig’s Church is an architectural tour de force by Danish architect, Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint. My comments, photos and a bit of video.
Bagsværd Church by Jørn Utzon
The Bagsværd Church is one of not too many buildings that Danish Jørn Utzon has realised in his home country.
The Bagsværd Church is famous in its own right, featuring a spectacular, vaulted concrete ceiling. My short comment and photos and videos.
The Thorvaldsen Museum
The Thorvaldsen Museum is one building in Copenhagen that is strikingly unique for its architecture and decorations. After my last visit, I had to make this post about the building, although it’s not typical for Danish architecture. At all!
It’s not typical of anything, really…
Maersk Tower by C. F. Møller architects
Maersk Tower by C. F. Møller Architects an impressive achievement. The architectural concept is strong and consistent, but not overly so. The spatial layout is varied and with a delicate balance between drama and restrain. A truly Danish quality of architecture. And it features a unique bike fly-over! ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
