6 photo: NGHM photo: NGHM Radisson Sas Royal Hotel Hammerichsgade Copenhagen This is one of the most exclusive designer hotels in the city From the exterior façade through to the swan and egg chairs gracing the lobby, all designed by famous Danish architect, Arne Jacobsen It s a landmark of the Jet Age: it was Copenhagen's first major skyscraper showing off a breakthrough Make sure to get room 606 well in advance This museum room is preserved exactly as it was when Arne completed the hotel The lobby is open for the public, and when you re there pay special attention to the staircase The beautiful high-tech design, thin steps, steel suspension ah, what a perfectionism Jacobsen said: "Well, yes, they call it the punch card, and it s funny, for that s actually what it looks like when the windows are open on a hot summer s day It s been called a lot of different things And many people thought it was a terribly ugly building, and many may still think so At least, it came in first when they held a competition for the ugliest building in Copenhagen" 1960 Arne Jacobsen Radisson Sas boeboe photo: NGHM The Radisson SAS Royal Hotel is located in the heart of the Danish capital, across from the main railway station and just 25 minutes from the Copenhagen International Airport The hotel offers underground parking and easy access to major car rental agencies 6

7 photo: seier+seier photo: seier+seier Paustian Kalkbrænderiløbskaj Copenhagen The Paustian furniture house on the waterfront in Copenhagen was inspired by the typical Danish beech forest with its tall, slim trunks "We often took a trip to a forest or a beach during the creative part of our work Mainly because my father sees issues more clearly when he talks them through with us on a walk in some beautiful natural setting," explains architect Jan Utzon, who collaborated with his father on the project "A walk in a Danish beech forest is like walking through a peristyle The underlying idea in the Paustian building became its many columns, sometimes grouped close together, at other times further apart Sunlight is shed down by skylights in the roof onto the various floors" The inside is just as exciting; the finest furniture designs by designers Aalto, Eames and Le Corbusier The Copenhagen Harbor later commissioned the Utzons to design 2 additional buildings: a Sail Club and "Lakajen", a restaurant and an office building photo: seier+seier 1987 Main designer, Jørn Utzon Jan Utzon Kim Utzon Ole Paustian Andrew 7

Just minutes from the centre of Copenhagen by Metro With the new Amager Strand Beach having been inaugurated, this is now a reality Amager Strand Beach consists of the beach along the coastal road, Amager Strandvej, a lagoon, an island and the two parks 10-øren and 5-øren (the Danish 10 Øre and 5 Øre coins) The island is 2 km long and the lagoon is 400 metres at its widest point Beach stations have been sited in the middle of the island; these are concrete buildings with toilets, refreshment kiosks and so on These beach stations also act as lookout and vantage points, providing a fantastic view of the large vessels plying the Øresund Sound and Øresund Bridge or the planes preparing to land in Kastrup The new island has been bisected, so that in the north you encounter a landscape of sand dunes, only to find more park-like grounds in the south photo: Amager Strand , Urban planner Hasløv & Kjærsgaard Arkitektfirma Amager Strandpark I/S, City of Copenhagen, Frederiksberg Municipality, Copenhagen County Copenhagen_X Amager Beach is situated along Amager Strandvej in Copenhagen You can easily get there by bike from the center of the city Another possibility is to take the Metro to Lergravsparken Station and then walk 15 minutes along Øresundsvej You can also go by bus number 12 from Copenhagen Airport or from the bus terminal at the City Hall 8

10 photo: Jacob Gallt photo: Jacob Gallt Frøsilos Islands Brygge Copenhagen 'Unusual yet obvious' is the best way to describe MVRDV's conversion of two grain silos on the harbour front of Copenhagen into high-end housing for the fortunate few The brief suggested filling up the circular silo spaces with apartment floors MVRDV chose to go the other way about the task and hang the apartments on the outside of the silo walls as a second skin of glass, creating very light and almost outdoor living spaces The silo interiors remain as an industrial version of the atrium, roofed with translucent plastic A prime motivation for this inside-out solution was the relative fragility of the old silo walls MVRDV regarded the structural weakness of the concrete tubes as a serious limitation because it made it difficult to cut large holes in the walls for windows, without endangering the structural integrity The 84 apartments now range from around 90 to 200 square metres and the balconies add roughly one third to that as outdoor living space photo: Jacob Gallt Public access unknown! 2005 MVRDV NCC Rasmus_Rune_Nielsen 10

13 photo: Richard Davies photo: Richard Davies Elephant House Roskildevej Copenhagen Norman Foster's elephant house has elevated Copenhagen Zoo to the first division of the architectural world At Copenhagen Zoo Norman Foster once again uses his signature: the gigantic glass canopy The elephant house thus has two large domes in the roof The house is partially submerged in the ground, and the public can stroll across the roof and look down onto the elephants' indoor quarters, which will receive plenty of daylight through the domes From the outset the idea has been to make the new house light and welcoming, unlike many other elephant houses The new elephant house is part of the overall effort to soft-focus the boundary between the Zoo and Frederiksberg Park Unsightly fencing and hoardings will be removed, and from Frederiksberg Park it will be possible to enjoy watching the herd of elephants The environs of the elephant house have been executed by the Danish landscape architect Stig L Andersson Project is not public! m² Main designer, Landscape architect Foster & Partners SLA Copenhagen Zoo Copenhagen_X photo: Richard Davies Parking at Roskildevej and Søndre Fasanvej Bicycle parking by the main entrance of the Zoo Busses: 4A, 6A, 26, and 832 Nearest metro stations are Frederiksberg and Fasanvej about 15 minutes' walk from the zoo For timetables, visit wwwrejseplanendk 13
