6 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 6

8 photo: Maarten Helle photo: Maarten Helle Petrol Station Kystvejen Copenhagen Located on the main road following the coast between Copenhagen and Bellevue, this petrol station dates from 1937 and was designed by Arne Jacobsen The petrol station itself is a concrete box, clad with Meissen ceramic tiles The service area is what makes this structure stand out: it is covered by an oval concrete shell, supported by a single column This design was originally intended as a prototype for Texaco To save the structure from falling apart, it has been subject to extensive restoration, most notably in 2003 by Dissing + Weitling s in cooperation with the Gentofte Municipality The original ceramic tiles and the concrete canopy have been replaced, after meticulous research and cooperation between the heritage and municipal authorities photo: Maarten Helle 1937 Arne Jacobsen HelleBeelden 8

9 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 9

10 photo: Leo Cornall photo: Leo Cornall Danish National Bank Havnegade Copenhagen The entrance for this bank is a small hole in the huge, monolithic stone wall You enter through a single-storey internal lobby that changes your direction while you enter the huge volume of the main 20m-high hall Ahead of you is a staircase that hangs from metal bars, which is a counterpoint to the entrance lobby which also hangs Light enters the austere space from recesses in the main wall The focus is centered on the arrangement of Jacobsen's Egg Chairs Through to the main banking area and the atmosphere changes completely Here, one will find light, modern wood panelling and light wells with plants next to the workers' desks photo: Leo Cornall Public access unknown! m² Arne Jacobsen Danish National Bank archipiano 10

12 photo: Naomi Schiphorst photo: Naomi Schiphorst Danish Jewish Museum Proviantpassagen 6 DK-1218 Copenhagen The Jewish concept Mitzvah, "a good deed", is of central significance to Daniel Libeskind's architecture for the museum The Hebrew word Mitzvah is literally stamped in the building: the letters in gigantic sizes form the walking area of the museum, in which the visitors move Danish Jews were saved through the effort of their compatriots and neighbors during the tragic years of the war In this way the Danish Jewish Museum differs from other European Jewish Museums, the history is manifested in the form, structure and light The museum is located in the Royal Boat House built by King Christian IV, transformed into the Royal Library, and now shared with the Jewish Museum The entrance lies in the courtyard, and is marked with conversation spaces, stones that appear to be lying around, random placed The interior has a very Libeskind-like structure, in this case a theatre like décor for all material the museum collects, which can document significant aspects of Jewish life in m² Daniel Libeskind Danish Jewish Museum NGHM photo: Naomi Schiphorst Winter: Tuesday to Friday: 1 pm - 4 pm, Saturday and Sunday: 12 noon - 5 pm, Monday closed Summer: (1 June - 31 August), Tuesday to Sunday: 10 am - 5 pm, Monday closed The museum is located in the Royal Library garden, behind the big black library When it is closed: look for the small concrete grey door in the green wall of the Royal Library Public transport: Buslines 1A, 2A, 15, 26, 29 to Højbro Plads 66 to The Royal Library, Christians Brygge Closest metro station: Kongens Nytorv, 10 minutes walk 12
