22-24/6
I would not call it rain, but it was definitely enough to soak two unprepared travelers.
Danish National Bank |
Unfortunately we were way to wet to go into any building much less one filled with projects and work.
Bella Sky from inside train...3XN!! |
Bjarke Ingels Mountain Dwelling, it's Mt. Everst |
Perforated aluminum plates resembling a rasterized picture.
The other side, lush greenery and wood.
Another Bjarke Ingels + JDS, VM Housing |
No clue but cool. |
The Danish loved their staggered housing, maybe there is something to it. Unfortunately we never got to go inside any residential building.
Wooden arches
Inside is a kindergarten |
The Donut |
Once again a building from many textbooks. Nicknamed the Donut, it is copper clad so in a few years it shall have turned copper green. It is enough excuse to travel back just to see it green.
This is all student housing.
Where the old library meets the new inside the Black Diamond.
Extremely cool housing. This building used to be a submarine factory, now converted into luxury apartments. What I would give....
Opera House |
Complete with a private balcony reserved only for the Queen.
From afar it looked like stained glass, up close it's even more beautiful, a triple facade of glass, solar voltaic panels, glass.
More jutting apartments
Slate construction |
Jorn Utzon Furniture House |
Just a chair made of carbon fiber (with no price tag).
Yet another reason to come back to Copenhagen. This is a rendering for Steven Holl's proposal for a bridge over their harbor. Massive enough to let cruise liners through. Branded Steven Holl.
Unfortunately this was the last piece of architecture I saw on my trip to Copenhagen leaving one BIG project behind
as well as a couple of 3XN buildings. At least I caught a glimpse of a neo-rationalist building from afar.
Goodbye Copenhagen you were a lovely city, mist and all.
