Blue Planet Copenhagen
The Blue Planet will be Northern Europe’s largest aquarium. Architecturally, the aquarium is shaped like a whirlpool, giving associations to eddies of fish, birds and sea currents. The building is in Copenhagen, at the island of Amager, close to the Copenhagen Airport, and viewed from a plane the whirlpool shape will be shown in full.

Aalborg Waterfront Masterplan, Jutland
Design: C. F. Møller Architects
Aalborg Waterfront Buildings

Aalborg Waterfront
The master plan for Aalborg Waterfront links the city’s medieval centre with the adjacent fjord, which has previously been difficult for citizens to access due to the industrial harbour and the associated heavy traffic. By tying in with the openings in the urban fabric, a new relationship between city and fjord is created, and what was formerly a back-side is turned into a new, highly attractive front.

Aarhus Library
“Urban Mediaspace”, is to be the largest public library in Scandinavia. The € 228 m scheme, located in Aarhus, Denmark, will become a new visual and cultural focal point for the city whilst pioneering the next generation of library design.

ARoS – Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Aarhus

ARoS Building Denmark

ARoS
This building featured a work of art, ‘Your rainbow panorama’, on the roof of the ARoS museum of art in Denmark. It is the world-famous Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson who has created this permanent work of art in the form of a circular walkway 150 metres in extent and three metres wide made in glass in all the colours of the spectrum. The spectacular work of art has a diameter of 52 metres and is mounted on slender columns 3.5 metres above the roof surface of the museum.

Copenhagen Opera House
Design: Henning Larsen
Danish Opera House Building

Copenhagen Opera House
The design is reminiscent of the Concert Hall at Lucerne, Switzerland by architect Jean Nouvel*. When I visited Copenhagen in 2002 Holmen was a dull naval base cut off from the city; now the huge cantilevers of this building dominate the harbour from Knippelsbro. The Danish Architecture Centre is located just to the west in the lovely old quarter of Christianshavn. Due to being located across the harbour from the centre of the city the Opera building is still quite out of the way, quite a walk from the Strøget.

Bagsvaerd Church, north Copenhagen
Design: Jorn Utzon architect

Bagsvaerd Church
Utzon’s next major design – after returning to Denmark after Sydney – was the Bagsvaerd Church, Copenhagen. The plain and rectilinear exterior contrasts with the sensuously curving soffits within – the interior creates a welcome surprise. Professor Richard Weston explained in one of his lectures on Utzon that the Client wanted a cost saving so the whole building was shrunk in proportion: in fact the scale of some elements does seem rather reduced, especially the exposed gables at the top seen from the east.

Aarhus Town Hall, Jylland
Design: Arne Jacobsen architect

Aarhus Town Hall
World famous Danish building by a celebrated 20th Century architect – innovative for its time, softened by the use of timber, especially the slatted wood panelling.
