Architecture
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! ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
Social housing by BIG at Dortheavej
Opened recently, BIG has also entered the field of social housing in an upcoming area in north west part of Copenhagen. Dortheavej 2A is a social housing scheme with small and mid size rental apartments.
‘Dronningegården’ residential complex
‘Dronningegården’ is a great example of Danish functionalist architecture. A residential development that replaced slums in mid century Copenhagen.
Church of Our Lady / Vor Frue Kirke
In 1829 C. F. Hansen finished Church of Our Lady, cathedral of Copenhagen in neoclassical architecture. Sculptor Thorvaldsen created Christ & his disciples.
