8 photo: Dirk Verwoerd photo: Dirk Verwoerd The Playhouse Sankt Annæ Plads Copenhagen Located on Kvæsthusbroen Landing Stage in the inner harbour of Copenhagen the Royal Theatre will get a new playhouse, at the end of Sankt Annæ Plads The Royal Theatre already has a theatre on the water, the Opera house on Kgs Nytorv, at the other side of the harbour Only the ballet will remain in the old building The two prominent positions along the water will turn them into two cultural focus points in the city The exterior of the new playhouse is dominated by a continuous glass-encased top story with offices and facilities for the actors On top is the black box each theatre has Visitors will arrive along gently sloping ramps, like a promenade, with a panoramic view of the waterfront A pedestrian and bicycle tunnel under the harbour to link the Playhouse with the Opera is being considered photo: Dirk Verwoerd Lundgaard & Tranberg Arkitektfirma The Royal Theatre and Ministry of Culture NGHM Take the ferry!

12 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 12

13 photo: Kontraframedk photo: Jens Frederiksen Bispebjerg Bakke Bispebjerg Bakke Copenhagen The sculptor Bjørn Nørgaard used music as his point of departure when he modelled the first version of the building in clay, noting, "If it cannot be modelled, it should not be built" Art was all-important and has given the project an organic and original design that makes the completed complex look like a sculpture The complex comprises two buildings that wind like a serpent through the grounds The buildings have three or four stories, with a tower-like expansion in places that rises to eight stories The goal was to demonstrate that good craftsmanship can compete with today's industrialized building Windows are made of wood and aluminium, roofs of zinc or copper Both red and yellow bricks were used, referring to the classical blocks of apartments in the Nørrebro quarter, where red was used on the street and yellow on the court photo: Torben Eskerod Project is not public! 2006 Main designer, Artist Bjørn Nørgaard BOLDSEN & HOLM Arkitekter Bispebjerg Bakke I/S Copenhagen_X Take busses 6A or 69 to Bispebjerg hosp/tagensvej From here it is a 2-minute walk to Bispebjerg Bakke 13

15 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 15

23 photo: Adrian Ewig Vodroffsvej Vodroffsvej 2A 1900 Copenhagen When the building at Vodroffsvej was completed in 1929, it created a stir in the public debate The horizontal band of windows, the flat roof and the layered façade in yellow and red brick were not the typical features of Danish buildings at the time Instead, the style was inspired by The Bauhaus School and the European modernism that thrived in the Netherlands and Germany The modernist style of the 1930s is known as functionalism in Scandinavia and is characterized by clearly marked horizontal lines and corner windows made possible by the constructional progress The block consists of two wings gathering in a point at the one end The one wing facing the lake has six floors, the other wing holds five Due to the uneven terrain the levels of the block shift, so that the windows in the one wing intersect with the brick façade of the other wing The building houses 18 apartments and originally seven shops photo: Adrian Ewig Project is not public! 1930 Main designer, Kay Fisker C F Møller s AdrianEwig 23
