10 photo: Dirk Verwoerd photo: Dirk Verwoerd 8 house Richard Mortensens Vej Copenhagen The bowtie-shaped mixed-use building of 3 different types of residential housing and 10,000 m2 of retail and offices comprises s largest private development ever undertaken Commissioned by St Frederikslund and Per Hopfner in 2006, the 8 House sits on the outer edge of the city as the southern most outpost of Orestad Rather than a traditional block, the 8 House stacks all ingredients of a lively urban neighborhood into horizontal layers of typologies connected by a continuous promenade and cycling path up to the 10th floor creating a three-dimensional urban neighborhood where suburban life merges with the energy of a big city, where business and housing co-exist The 8 House creates two intimate interior courtyards, separated by the centre of the cross which houses 500 m2 of communal facilities Here the building is penetrated by a 9m wide passage that allows people to easily move from the park area on its western edge to the water filled canals to the east Project is not public!

11 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 11

12 photo: Leo Cornall photo: Leo Cornall Bagsværd Church Taxvej Bagsværd The plain and rectilinear exterior of this church by Jørn Utzon contrasts with the sensuously curving soffits within - the interior creates a welcome surprise 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 Utzon planned the interior vaults after being inspired by banks of clouds His sketches evolved from nature images to hanging overhead vaults (text from e-architectcom) photo: Leo Cornall 1976 Jørn Utzon archipiano Open only on certain hours: monday- friday 9-16 saturday-sunday 11:30-16 North Copenhagen, Bus or taxi from city centre 12

14 photo: Julien De Smedt photo: Julien De Smedt Maritime Youth House Amager Strandvej 13 DL-2300 Copenhagen The site was polluted with heavy metals (and therefore stable) To save budget the architects covered the entire site with a wooden deck (1600m2), so wasn t necessary to clean the site first The building is shared by two clients, a sail club and a youth house The youth house needed outdoor space for the kids to play; the sail club needed most of the site to park their boats The design is the literal results of negotiations between the two contradictory demands Where the deck rises it allows for boat storage and, at the same time, becomes an exciting play area for the kids The common room for daily activities is located in the front house, the workshop and storage is in the back corner building In contrast to the wooden exterior decks the floor in the community space is white concrete and a standard grey concrete in the workshop and storage area This is meant to reflect the dominance of the outdoor activities; the wooden deck is the actual "room" of the Maritime Youth House photo: Julien De Smedt Floor area/size m² Main designer, JDS architects Kvarterløft Governmental City Renewal Project JDS Monday till Friday From the central station; Københavns Hovedbanegård Take bus 2A direction: Kastrup Lufthavn Change bus at Bulgariensgade to bus 77 direction: Sundbyvester Plads Get off at Sundby Sejlforening Walk 2 min to the Maritime Youth House Take metro to Lergravsparken Station - direction: Lergravsparken Station Change to bus 77 - direction: Sundbyvester Plads Get off at Sundby Sejlforening, walk 2 min to the Maritime Youth House 14
