7 photo: Jens Lindke photo: Marloes Faber Tietgenkollegiet Rued Langgaards Vej DK-2300 Copenhagen The architects used the traditional Tulou constructions of southeast China [village communities with individual dwellings and communal facilities combined in a circular building] as a source of inspiration for the Tietgenkollegiet The concept is creating space for both communal and private life in the building by assigning equal weight to the individual apartments and the communal facilities The hall is shaped like a 7-storey rotunda The building is intersected by five vertical cuts, which divide the building both visual and functional into sections and provide access to the central courtyard space and the hall The ground floor comprises a café, great hall, laundrette, bicycle parking and study, computer, music and conference rooms The student residences are located on the upper floors All rooms, 360 in total measuring m², provide a view of the surroundings The communal kitchens, recreation rooms, terraces and utility rooms are located facing towards the courtyard photo: Marloes Faber Project is not public! m² Artist Structural engineer Technical engineer Lundgaard & Tranberg Arkitektfirma Aggebo & Henriksen COWI Henrik Jørgensen landskabsarkitekter Marianne Levinsen The Nordea Danmark Fund Fonden Tietgenkollegiet Landscape designer Marloes_Faber Metro M1: Islands brygge st Walking: about 15 minutes from city center 7

16 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 16

35 photo: Jens Lindhe photo: Jens Lindhe Crèche Krausesvej Krausesvej Copenhagen The local plan allowed for only one story to be built on the site, which was to be used for a day-care center The architectural challenges were to create enough space inside and out for employees and 36 children on a fairly small site, to ensure enough light for the institution, which is bounded by apartment buildings five and six stories tall, to keep the new building from taking light and air from the neighbours, and especially to create a style that would harmonize with the surroundings The project met the many physical and functional challenges in an almost pragmatic way The institution covers nearly the whole site except for a single incision, which lets daylight into the building, on the one hand, and leaves room for an enclosed outdoor space on street level, on the other It was designed around two parallel slabs One is the ground and the other is the roof, which is used for outdoor recreational space that is nearly as large as the institution's c 530 sq m of indoor space photo: Jens Lindhe Project is not public! m² Dorte Mandrup s City of Copenhagen Copenhagen_X By S-train: Nordhavn station (all lines except H and F stop here) By bus: 1A to Gustav Adolfs Gade (for detailed instructions, visit wwwrejseplanendk) 35
