Planningconcept Copenhagen
Copenhagen is famous for its urban planning concept
which has pro-moted sustainable lifestyles and sustainable
modes of mobility. The Finger Plan for Greater Copenha-
gen was introduced in 1947 when a group of town plan-
ners realized that Greater Copenhagen was beginning to
spread uncontrollably.
In 1947 when town planners sat down to design a practical
development plan for Greater Copenhagen, they disco-
vered that their sketches oddly resembled that of a hand.
The palm rested on the already existing city centre and
the skeletal fingers pointed to future development along
existing transportation infrastructure. Unsurprisingly dub-
bed the Finger Plan in 1947, protected green wedges
between the fingers ensured the residents of each finge-
red suburb would be able to access nature, woodlands,
and pastoral landscape. Over time it became apparent
that the Plan could not be successful without legal status
and in 2007 it was incorporated into Denmarks Planning
Act. Copenhagen has also credited the Finger Plan for its
ability to avoid traffic congestion commonly found in other
big citiesthe transit system was built along the length of
the fingers to easily transport the population to the down-
town core.
Greater Copenhagen is a vast area consisting of 34 mu-
nicipalities. The spreading of the area created difficulties
for the public transport system, which was in danger of
reaching its capacity. It was necessary to control the urban
growth and develop a citywide network of railways and ar-
terial roads. The idea of the plan was to concentrate the
urban development of Greater Copenhagen in the urban
fingers created around the railway network. At the same
time, the green wedges between the fingers would remain
undeveloped.
Greater Copenhagen resembles a hand where the city of
Copenhagen covers the palm and five larger cities and
their railway routes represent the fingers.
Since 1947 the Finger plan has been the main guiding
principle of city planning in Copenhagen. In 1989 the
planners for Greater Copenhagen implemented a Close
to Station structure, where the areas for additional buil-
ding developments were limited to within one kilometre
from a railway station. Building would thus be concentra-
ted closely around the 25 large railway stations in Greater
Copenhagen.
The aim was to favour public transport at the expense of
private car use. This Close to station structure of city
planning allowed for sustainable lifestyles and minimized
environmental impact since transportation and develop-
ments were concentrated in conveniently accessible areas.
People moving to area might even not notice how much
the city planning structure provides them opportunities
for sustainable lifestyle.
In 2007 the Danish Ministry of the Environment created
Finger Plan 2007, where this proven concept was written
into national law and had judicial binding over Greater
Copenhagen and its planning initiatives. The impacts of
this Close to Station principle were estimated in an en-
viron-mental report on Finger Plan 2007. It was calculated
that it was possible to save up to 100,000 tons of CO2 per
year in the coming 30 years, or 2,000,000 kilometres driven
per day. The 100,000 ton CO2 reduction is only a small
part of the potential of the Finger Plan, because they have
only included future growth in the calculation and not all
expansion since 1947.

Nrreport Station is the busiest station in Denmark with
roughly 250,000 people bustling through it daily. The new
Nrreport station is composed of a series of rounded, flo-
ating roofs, mounted on striking glass pavilions. A study of
pedestrians preferred routes has formed the basis for the
stations new design, providing an open and welcoming
public space with specific thought directed to the needs
of cyclists and pedestrians. Ample bike parking will be a
main feature accommodating 2,500 parking lots for bikes.
In order to create a clear hierarchy between the area for
bicycles and the area for city life, all bicycle parking is pla-
ced 40 cm below the city floor - as sunken bicycle beds
the bicycle parking will be lit by innumerable LED lights
at night.
Furthermore 11 ventilation towers will be placed on the
plaza surrounding the train station.
they will provide fresh air to the underlying train platforms.
the towers will also function
as lighting on the plaza and as digital information pillars
with fully integrated LED screens
for information about train departures, cultural events, ad-
vertisement etc.
Nrreport, the busiest station in Denmark, has undergone
a highly successful conversion. The old, dark nooks and
crannies have disappeared, making way for open, inviting
buildings in a streamlined public space. It was an excellent
idea to unite the station as a thoroughfare with the public
space as a place to spend time in. Both elements have
been equally successful.

Der Bahnhof Nrreport ist heute mit einer Gre von
10.500 m der verkehrsreichste Bahnhof in Dnemark mit
rund 250. 000 Fahrgsten pro Tag und 100.000 Passanten,
welche diesen durchqueren. Auch in der Vergangenheit
war die Nrreport Station immer ein stark frequentiertes
infrastrukturelles Zentrum in Kopenhagen. Im Jahre 1600
fungierte es als eins der 4 Tore durch die Wlle von Kopen-
hagen. Vor 1932, als die aktuelle Bahnhofshalle errichtet
wurde, bestand die Bahnhofstation aus zwei Runden Pa-
villons. Es war eine Art offene Plaza, wo Straenbahnen,
Autos, Radfahrer und Fugnger konzentriert ber diesen
ffentlich Raum gefhrt wurden. Ab dem 21.
Jahrhundert wurde die Nrreport Station mit Hilfe von
Cobe Architects Copenhagen wieder ein ffentliches Ge-
sicht dieser Offenheit, Klarheit und bersicht. Die Passa-
giere und Passanten werden durch eine Reihe von runden,
schwebenden Dcher mit transparenten Glas-Pavillons
gefhrt. So werden alle Bereiche des Bahnhof sichtbar
und leicht zugnglich und der Bahnhof selbst erscheint
wie ein offener und einladender ffentlicher Raum. Wei-
terhin bieten 11 Belftungstrme aus dem unterirdischen
Bahnhof Frischluft zu den oberen Bahnsteigen. Eine wei-
tere Funktion ist die besondere Optik dieser Trme sowie
die Nutzung als digitales Leitsystem mit LED Bildschirmen,
wo Informationen ber Abfahrten und Anknfte sowie
Stdtische Veranstaltungen abzurufen sind. Kopenhagens
Ruf als Fahrrad-Stadt der Welt folgend, werden alle Park-
stationen fr Fahrrder ein sichtbares Element im urbanen
Raum. Zirka 20.000 Fahrradfahrer passieren den Bahnhof
tglich. Um eine klare Hierarchie zwischen den Bereichen
fr Fahrrder sowie einen Bereich fr den Fahrrad-Flow
zu schaffen, werden alle Anlagen mit Fahrradstndern
um 40 cm zur Oberflche tiefer gelegt. Vergleichbar mit
Blumenbeeten in einem Park, werden die abgesenkten
Fahrrad-Parkflchen als kleine Taschen des Raumes
wahrgenommen. Die gesenkten Fahrrad-Bereiche stellen
eine klare Hierarchie zwischen dem Bereich fr Fahrrder
sowie einen Bereich fr das urbane Leben in der Stadt und
geben ihn somit eine visuelle Klarheit.

One of the most popular structures in DK The Round To-
wer was built by Christian IV between 1637 and 1642. It
was the first part of the Trinitatis Complex, which com-
bined church, library and observatory in a single building.
The Round Tower does not have an elevator, so visitors
have to climb the winding, white-washed Spiral Walk. The
spiral walk is unique in European architecture. The 209 m
long spiral ramp winds itself 7,5 times round the hollow
core of the tower, forming the only connection between
the individual parts of the building complex
The Library was once the home of the entire University
book collection. Situated halfway up the Round Tower, the
Library opened in 1657. It housed approximately 10,000
books, which had previously been spread around old uni-
versity buildings in the city. At one end of the hall was an
exhibition of Old Norse artefacts, which would grow and
become known as the National Museum. By 1861, the
book collection had grown so big that it was moved to
the new premises on Fiolstrde. The old Library was later
used as a studio by theatre-painter Carl Lund, and as a de-
pot for the Zoological Museum.The Library was restored
in 1987 and now serves as a popular gallery and concert
venue.
The two original privies in the Round Tower still exist
one on the top floor, the other beside the Library, halfway
up the tower. Although not in use, the Library privy has
been restored and re-opened. You may enter, sit yourself
down and gaze up at the arched ceiling, where nicotine
used to seep through the limestone in the days when it
was popular to smoke a pipe while visiting the smallest
room. We know that famous names such as Ludvig Hol-
berg, Ole Rmer, H.C. rsted and Hans Christian Ander-
sen studied in the Library, and probably also needed to
visit the privy now and again with or without a pipe.
Waste from the privy ran down into a large bricked-up
container (the latrine pit), but despite experiments with
open windows and double doors, the stench up in the
Tower was almost overpowering. Water closets were
installed in 1902.
10
The bells of the Church of the Trinity hang in the Bell
Loft, above the gallery and concert venue. At one stage,
the people of Copenhagen discovered that it was an
ideal spot in which to dry laundry. Later, it was used to
store tanned hides, dried herbs, painted theatre sets and
feathers for the fine clothes and hats of society ladies. In
1880, Lieutenant Bernhard Olsen rented the loft and set
up a peasant museum, which would become the Open
Air Museum in 1901. After the Great Fire of 1728, the Bell
Loft was rebuilt from Pomeranian pine. The impressive
original timbers are still intact and visible in the loft,
which also houses the big clock from 1731, as well as
many other objects that have stories to tell about the
history of the Round Tower and the church.
It is possible to go into the niche at the end of the Spiral
Walk to stand on a glass floor and look 25 m down to the
bottom of the hole. This point was used as the point zero
when Denmark was triangulated in the 1760s.The plane-
tarium in the Round Tower is a three-dimensional model
of the Solar System with the Sun at the centre, orbited
by the six innermost planets. Copied from Bayers ear-
ly-17th-century work, the background depicts the starry
sky of the North. It was mounted in 1928 as a replacement
for the original 1740 model. The original planetarium sho-
wed both the Copernican system, with the Earth orbiting
around the Sun, and Tycho Brahes divergent system, with
the Earth at its centre.
Used by the University of Copenhagen until 1861, the
Round Tower is Europes oldest functioning astronomy
observatory. Astronomy was an important science in
17th-century Europe, and Denmarks Tycho Brahe was one
of its leading figures. It was almost certainly due to Brahes
influence that the Round Tower was built as a university
observatory in 1642. Unfortunately, he died in 1601, so did
not live to see it. The Round Tower has contained several
different observatories. The latest is from 1929. The obser-
vatory is 6.75 metres high and 6 metres in diameter and
contains a refracting telescope with 80450 x magnifica-
tion.
From the platform, 34.8 m above the street, the visitor
has a magnificent view of the old part of Copenhagen.
Along the edge of the platform runs a beautiful wrought-
iron lattice made in 1643 by Kaspar Fincke, Court Artist
in metalwork. In the latticework, Christian IVs monogram
and the letters RFP are seen; these letters represent the
Kings motto: Regna Firmat Pietas Piety strengthens the
Realms.
3 Center for Renhold
Architect: Joint venture of Polyform Arkitekter
and karres+brands Landschaps-
architecten (KBP.EU)
Location: Hauser Plads
Assignment: Design transformation of under-
ground parking garage into cleaning
services offices
Size: 1,000 m GFA
Design: 2009
Construction: 2010 2012
Budget: 2.5 Mio

Hauser Plads lies in the heart of the medieval city centre

of Copenhagen. The square is part of the public space
around the Kbmagergade shopping street, designed by
karres+brands and Polyform. The former parking garage
underneath Hauser Plads has been transformed into the
offices of the municipal cleaning services, and its sunken
position forms a hidden gem in the historic core. The pro-
ject is a good example of reuse (an outdated garage) and
dual land use (a playground and the premises of the Clea-
ning Services Centre) in a historical context.

The Center for Renhold is the new base for the citys 75 cle-
aners, and also houses the cleaning vehicles. The ameni-
ties include shower facilities, changing rooms, cafeteria,
parking, and office functions, along with a conference
room. The primary work areas and staff rooms are organi-
sed around a sunken patio garden. The curved glass walls
of the patio allow maximum daylight into the building and
a generous view from the workspace, making the garden
an extension of the interior space. The undulating forms
of the sunken garden establish a direct connection to the
playful landscape above: on the aboveground square is a
playground for various day care centres in the immediate
vicinity.

The courtyard is planted with different types of vegetation,

which change in colour and texture with the seasons. The
flagstone paving creates spots for a coffee break, so the
patio can also serve as an outdoor workplace. The hidden
courtyard offers a constant interplay between inside and
outside, between the buildings below and the recreational
landscape aboveand a lull in the continuous rhythm of
the surrounding city.

has its own rhythm: people biking, walking, shopping,
playing, and going out. But supply, garbage, and main-
tenance traffic is also part of this dynamic. The first step
is to make the area clean and empty, so that the flow of
people at leisure can find its way. The second step is to
choose a strong material: natural stone, a durable material
that both lends a contemporary image and connects to
the traditional granite boulders in the historic centre.

On and along the Kbmagergade are three important

squares: Kultorvet, Hauser Plads and TrinitatisKirkeplads.
In the design, these history-laden, subtly colour-changing
squares shoot from dark coals to bright stars, from Kultor-
vet to the Milky Way.

The organisation of the three squares differs following

the historical situation, and they differ from each other
according to their place in the city. Kultorvet has a dark,
almost black, stone paving pattern inspired by the eigh
teenth-century coal trade. Kultorvet is the largest square,
12 and has been outfitted with a fifteen-metre fountain
and adjoining stage.
5 Israel Plads
Architect: COBE and Sweco Architects
Year of opening: 2008
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
Client: City of Copenhagen
Size: 12.500 m2
Budget: 60 mio. kr.
In 2008 the City Council in Copenhagen agreed on a ma-
jor renovation of the square in order to establish an open
space that would unfold, open up and encourage the ci-
tizens of Copenhagen to engage in outdoor life and acti-
vities on a site where the only boundaries of engagement
are those of the mind. The car park is gone and Sweco
Architects have created a flying carpet square that now
interconnects with H.C. rsteds Park and enhances the
coherence between the square and its surroundings. The
flying carpet nickname comes from the folded and soft
waved surface floating 30 cm above the ground.
The new Israels Square
The square has wings, as the southwest and northeast cor-
ners fold up and create sitting areas whilst covering the
ramp from the underground parking garage. As opposed
to the wings of the square, the surface runs downward as
a waterfall in the southwest corner into H.C. rsteds Park
and thereby blends with the trees that stretch into the
square. Across the square, water trickles in a small creek,
which continues into H.C. rsteds Park, where it ends in
stairs created of three oval vessels completing the water-
fall. Depending on the purpose, the light of the pylons on
the square can be changed from a dimmed, scattered light
to one focused on specific areas during events. Along the
edge of the square, small LED-lights are installed to give
the illusion of a flying carpet and a hovering surface.
To create a space, that invites everyone, different features
have been created on the surface of the square:
Round holes in the square, which are filled with grass
and trees and surrounded by benches thus creating green,
urban hangout spots
Areas, which invite the citizens to several activities: ball-
games, skating, and playing.
Stairs in the corners which can be used as an observation
post from where you can see the activities on the square,
the pulsating life of the Market place, and the beautiful
green areas of H.C. rsteds Park.
In this way, Israel Square has been designed to be a square
for every citizen and visitor to explore urban life.
The special connection of the square to the Park
Sweco Architects and subcontractor COBE have wor-
ked intensively on the transition from the square to H.C.
rsteds Park. The square extends approximately seven
meters over the park, but without touching anything sin-
ce it hovers over the greenery. Instead of cutting down
the existing trees, the holes in the square have been de-
signed to integrate the trees into the square. These trees,
together with a number of newly planted trees, make the
park seem to continue into the square creating a gentle
transition. Access between the square and the park is via
a spiral staircase, which widens as it nears the ground in
H.C. rsteds Park.
The challenges in the process
NIRAS was involved in all engineering disciplines in the
full process from idea competition to the transformation
of Israel Square into a coherent urban space. The project
included several engineering challenges:
The interaction between the square and H.C. rsteds
Park needed to be built without damaging the existing
trees.
The square was built on top of a parking garage that
could only tolerate a certain load. This led to limited space
for drainage pipes, etc.. Furthermore, access to the par-
king garage had to be possible throughout the construc-
tion.
During the construction phase, building activities on
Nrreport Station required increased planning logistics.
Zahles School is located within the project area. The-
refore, school traffic crossed the area during completion.
The schoolyard is now a part of the square itself.
Israel Square a positive urban area
Morten Kabell (Red-Green Alliance Party), Mayor for Tech-
nology and Environment in the City of Copenhagen, be-
lieves that the square will help enhance the quality of life
and sense of community in Copenhagen. Nine out of ten
Copenhagen residents want a vibrant, diverse, urban li-
festyle. The new place adds to this. Its wonderful that we
are creating room for playing and hanging out right in the
center of the city as an alternative to the outdoor cafs

1 Royal Danish Playhouse
Architect: Lundgaard & Tranberg (2008)
Adress: Sankt Ann Pl. 36 Webpage: www.dac.dk
Metrostop: Kongens Nytorv St.
The building complex consists of three compositional ele-
ments: the foyer, a broad sidewalk floating on thin co-
lumns over the water, the auditorium and stage tower, and
the service area, placed in an expansive and unifying roof
level, clad in glass. These three elements form a charged,
geometric composition that completes the surrounding
urban structure and opens the city to the harbor.
Thermoactive structures, seawater cooling and de-
mand-controlled ventilation: the Royal Playhouse features
numerous technical solutions intended to reduce energy
bills and ensure a sustainable profile. The company behind
the energy concept applied at the Playhouse is COWI.
Seawater and surplus heating from the large auditoria are
used to cool and heat parts of the Playhouse using ther-
moactive concrete structures. Tubes are embedded in the
buildings concrete slabs, where they function as both a
heating and a cooling system.
In the winter, surplus heat generated by the light and by
the audience is stored in the thermoactive structures from
which it is released the next day. In the summer, the buil-
ding is cooled at night so that it will be ready for use the
day after.

SNHETTA - World Architecture
The summer of 2015 the Danish Architecture Centre is
welcoming Snhetta to Copenhagen. Snhetta is a moun-
tain in Norway - and the most talked-about architecture
firm in Scandinavia. Their most famous building is the
iceberg-like Oslo Opera House located in the downtown
area of the city, but they are worth getting to know for
lots of other reasons. Their holistic and social democratic
approach to architecture resonates in Seoul as well as New
York, and soon Copenhagen will get its very own Snhetta
building too.
3 Copenhagen Harbour Bath
Architect: Bjarke Ingels/JDS (2003)
Adress: Islands Brygge 14
Opening hours: Opened till 31 August
Metrostop: Islands Brygge St.
Copenhagens harbour is in the midst of a transformati-
on from an industrial port and traffic junction to being the
cultural and social centre of the city. The Harbour Bath has
been instrumental in this evolution. It extends the adja-
cent park over the water by incorporating the practical
needs and demands for accessibility, safety and program-
matic flexibility.
Rather than imitating the traditional Danish indoor swim-
ming bath, the Harbour Bath offers an urban harbour
landscape with dry-docks, piers, boat ramps, cliffs, play-
grounds and pontoons. As a terraced landscape, the Har-
bour Bath completes the transition from land to water,
making it possible for the citizens of Copenhagen to go
for a swim in the middle of the city.
There are five pools in all, two of which are specifically for
children. The shallowest pool is 30 cm deep. The diving
towers are one, three and five metres high respectively.
17
4 Black Diamond Library
Architect: Schmidt Hammer Lassen (1999)
Adress: Sren Kierkegaards Pl. 1
Opening hours: 8-22h daily, sunday closed
Metrostop: Kongens Nytorv St.
The Black Diamond is a characteristic new library buil-
ding at the waterfront of Copenhagen. The building from
1999 is designed by the Danish architects Schmidt, Ham-
mer and Lassen as an extension of The Royal Library and
lies adjacent to the old library cathedral of Hans J. Holm
from 1906. However, in form and materials it strikingly con-
trasts the old library building.
The name refers to the prismatic sharp edges and the
black marble plates and glass of the exterior, that reflects
the water of the harbour. Also from the wave-like balco-
nies of central foyer, that cuts into the building as an 24
meter high atrium, there is a panoramic view over the har-
bour. The variety of cultural activities of the new building
has turned The Royal Library into a central cultural centre
of Copenhagen as part of the harbour promenade. The
seven stories of the building contain not only traditional
library functions such as the four new reading rooms, but
also a concert hall, exhibition galleries, bookshop, caf
and restaurant. The ceiling of the bridge between the old
and the new is decorated by the Danish artist Per Kirkeby.
18
5 The Crystal
Architect: Schmidt Hammer Lassen (2011)
Adress: Krystallen, Hambrosgade
From the onset, the design team called this project Crys-
tal, and the name has stayed with the building. This soli-
taire, an extension of a financial institution at the threshold
between the historic centre and the port, dominates the
trapezoidal square it inhabits, yet, because it pays heed to
the height of the existing buildings as well as visual relati-
onships, is well integrated. The impression the sharp-ed-
ged, prismatic building massing makes varies significantly
corresponding to the observers standpoint.
The double-folded underside disengages the structure
from the plazas surface, and, in combination with the pa-
rallel roof, defines the six vertical facade surfaces. Whe-
re the planes intersect, three high points and three low
points come about: only at one point and one line does
the form meet the ground. The structural system con-
sists of criss-crossing steel sections running diagonally,
with supplementary horizontal beams edging the ceiling
decks. Together they form, directly behind the facade sur-
face, a vertical lattice that acts as a diaphragm and directs
the loads to just three supports. In combination with the
two cores it supports the floor slabs and the roof structure.
6 City dune
Landscape Architecture: SLA
Adress: Bernstorffsgade
Client: SEB Bank & Pension
Area: 7.300 m2
Design: 2005-2007
Realization: 2007-2010
The harbor front of Copenhagen has through the years
been widely criticized for being the site of low quality of-
fice buildings, introvert shopping malls, bad infrastructure,
and few, if any, public spaces worth using. Here, above
an underground car park on the most traffic-heavy corner
of Copenhagen, the Swedish SEB Bank chose to erect its
Scandinavian headquarters. SLA got the assignment to
create an urban space that could tie the new headquarter
together with the surrounding area, the harbor, and the
rest of Copenhagen.
An open space in front of a bank does not necessarily
need to be anonymous, grey, and void of people. On
the contrary, SLA designed the area as a green and wel-
coming open foyer for the public and employees of the
bank alike. The result is a sustainable and fully accessible
urban space covering an area of 7.300 m2. Like a giant
dune of sand or snow it slips in between the buildings,
thereby creating a spatial coherence in the design. Simul-
taneously, the urban space, elevated 7 meters above the
surroundings, ensures the mobility of pedestrians and cy-
clists, leading from SEB and the harbor past The Danish
National Archives and on to the Tivoli Congress Center.
The City Dune, as the urban space quickly came to be cal-
led, is made of white concrete, borrowing its big, folding
movement from the sand dunes of Northern Denmark and
the snow dunes of the Scandinavian winter. The folding
movement and the contour of the terrain not only handle
functional and technical demands from drainage, acces-
sibility and lighting to plantation and the creation of a
root-friendly bearing layer. It also offers a variety of routes
for customers and employees of SEB as well as ordinary
Copenhageners, creating an ever changing urban space.
To fully experience The City Dune, one has to physically
move through it. When passing through the area, the spa-
ce evolves and opens up in different directions, creating
new spatial connections in the process. When ascending
from Bernstorffsgade, the space gradually unfolds as you
walk along the 300 meter long and winding incline. Loo-
king back against the city, the buildings frame a solid cut
of Copenhagen.
The ascent from Kalvebod Brygge is shorter and steeper.
Here one will soon rise to a splendid view of the harbor.
Acclimatization is the single most important principle in
the design of The City Dune. Through the folding mo-
vements of the concrete, the surface reflects as much of
the incoming suns radiation as possible, thereby creating
a cooler microclimate during the hot months of the year.
This is further enhanced by 110 water atomizers emitting
out moist air, spread by the wind. The result is the experi-
ence of being in the middle of the lush Scandinavian na-
ture. Narrow drains lead the rainwater from the concrete
surfaces and into two large rainwater tanks. From here it
is pumped to the plantation and the water atomizers th-
rough a fine-meshed network of tubes. As such, no rainwa-
ter ends up in the sewers or on the roads.
The trees and herbaceous borders are placed in fissures
between the horizontal planes. Both deciduous and ever-
green plantation has been utilized to achieve the metabo-
lism of water throughout the year in addition to enhancing
the microclimatic environment with wind and shelter. The
trees and plantations are not arranged to emulate nature.
It is a new manner of seeing and experiencing nature in
the city. The ambition is to create an urban view of nature
through a design that clarifies the presence of nature as a
process, while simultaneously supporting acclimatization
and other functional conditions.
All in all, The City Dune provides not only acclimatizati-
on and utility through the sustainable use of concrete and
plantation; it also gives a much needed recreational value
to a part of Copenhagen long neglected by city planners.

Landschaftsarchitect: SLA
Location: Hjrringgade
Design phase: 2003
Realization: 2003-2004
Area: 1,3 ha.
Cost: 1,1 mio.

Charlotte Garden in Copenhagen, Denmark, is located
on the site of a former factory that produced cryolite alu-
minum. Today, the factory has been replaced by a modern
residential complex with 178 apartments. Its facade is co-
vered with bricks in multiple shades of blue.The buildings
square structure follows the current composition of other
buildings in the city. Transformed into a salt meadow the
garden tells a story of the historic proximity of the place
to the ocean.
With vegetation consisting of tall grasses, paths are drawn
with free and undulating curves framed within a straight, li-
near space. One can feel the creative freedom that comes
from these blends, this mixing between curved and stra-
ight, mineral and plant, with nuanced colors and different
planting heights.

The garden is used more and more by local people. On

the way to the caf, as a meeting place, chatting at the
playground or because they live in the housing blocks
of the same name that surround the open park and cour-
tyard. The garden has become a place and a room.

The experience of the garden takes place through mo-

vement or simply being there. In addition it is experien-
ced as an enriched visual extension of living space: When
viewed from the apartments the interplay of colour and
billowing form stands out as a friendly and constantly ch-
anging pattern.

The planting consists mainly of different grasses such as

meadow grass, Festuca glauca, Seslevia and Molina cae-
rulea. Unusual for Scandinavian latitudes there is now
colour all year round. Colours that change from blue and
green in the summer to golden tones in the winter a spa-
ce of nuances. The different and changing spaces are held
together by paths crossing through the garden, whilst the
delineation of the spaces is achieved by means of change
of material. A textural and sensory space with a particular
attention to nuances and movement.

As a place for meeting, sharing, and gaming, Charlotte

Garden is a space where you can walk, but also eat, read,
or relax. Charlotte Garden multiplies the functions that it
offers to residents of the building and visitors from else-
where. The corten steel edges associated with the quasi
strict use of grasses gives the garden a great contempo-
rary look and confirms that SLA has a dynamic and innova-
tive team in landscape.

10/11 Nordhavn - rhusgade quarter
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
Client: Copenhagen City and
Port Development
Program: Strategy and development plan
Size: 3.6 mio m
Status: 1st prize in competition 2008, appoin
ted as final advisor for Copenhagen
City and Port, 1st phase under const
ruction
Architects: Sleth, Polyform, Rambll, Cobe

In the coming years, the character of the southernmost

area of Nordhavnen will change considerably, from a har-
bour area used as a free port with extensive use of space
into an urban area with districts laid out as small islets di-
rectly connected with the water: a versatile, diverse and
inclusive city district. Delimited by the Nordbassin, the
Kronlbsbassin and the Kronlb, Inner Nordhavn is the
first of these districts to be realised. It will have room for
about 3000 residents and workplaces for 6-7000 people.
Planning for the Inner Nordhavn district began with an in-
ternational design competition in 2009. Subsequent work
on the winning entry includes development strategies,
development plans and a number of planning themes
that will govern the future development of Nordhavnen.
Copenhagen City Council has adopted the required local
plan. The Nordhavn project consists out of three areas;
Sundmolen, Marmormolen and rhusgade quarter.

22
rhusgade quarter
The uniqueness of the rhusgade quarter is based on its
long history and strong identity: The history of the port
and the areas qualities, combined with the future urban
spaces and buildings, will create a unique neighbourhood
with strong contrasts: New meets old. Large meets small.
Closed meets open. The refined meets the rugged. The
city meets the water.
The rhusgade quarters old buildings, silos and quays
will combine with the new urban spaces, buildings and
wharfs to create a progressive urban district with distinct
historical traces. The dense buildings with narrow streets,
small urban spaces and well-defined courtyards, will stand
in contrast to the waters wide open spaces.
The ports raw nature, sturdy materials and simple con-
struction practices are utilised and supplemented with
refined details and refined materials. This continues the
ports coarse aesthetics in new ways and creates a special
character in the meeting the rugged and the refined.
The outdoor areas will mainly appear new, because in ad-
dition to a number of buildings in the area, it is primarily
the bulwarks that are retained. The outdoor areas contri-
bute to the areas identity by interpreting the ports simp-
le and raw aesthetic in a modern idiom that supports the
needs of the neighbourhoods users.
Varied urban spaces
The rhusgade Quarter will become a vibrant city district,
with 10,000 m of shops, as well as restaurants and other
public functions that will attract attention outside the local
area. The local plan for the rhusgade Quarter was adop-
ted in 2011. This was also the starting point for the sale of
land in the area.
The areas structure ensures a high degree of variation in
the urban spaces. The area features small, intimate city
gardens and large open spaces. There are narrow streets
and well-defined urban spaces that are enclosed by buil-
dings all the way around. There are also squares and island
streets that open up, as well as promenades by the water.
The buildings will help to create diversity, as their design,
scale and content will vary from place to place. The out-
door spaces unite the areas buildings and facilities into
a coherent unit that provide the framework for a diverse
urban environment and ensures good functionality of the
areas infrastructure.
Flexible use
The expansion of the rhusgade Quarter with an estima-
ted 300,000 m of construction started in 2012 and is ex-
pected to be completed within a decade. The area will
contain 165,000 m residential space and 140,000 m com-
mercial space. The first residents and employees will move
into the area in 2014.
The squares in the rhusgade quarter offer a high de-
gree of flexibility and will be very different. Each square
features special qualities, has specific purposes and offers
special opportunities.In the central squares, rhus Torv
and Silo Plads, there will be opportunities to utilise the ur-
ban spaces in different ways in connection with temporary
events. Alleyways, streets and promenades shall ensure
that the neighbourhoods traffic structure works well, but
boundary zones and relaxation zones here ban be rear-
ranged in different ways and used for relaxation, plants,
displaying goods for sale etc.
Comfortable urban spaces
The Danish climate is not always ideal for outdoor relaxa-
tion. This is especially true at the coast, where the wind is
stronger and the temperature during the summer is lower.
This also applies to the rhusgade quarter. Wind studies
show that the rhusgade quarter generally is not adver-
sely affected in relation to the dominant wind directions,
although naturally it will be windy some days. This is part
of the experience of being by the water. Wind studies also
show that it is especially around tall buildings that the
wind may sometimes be particularly strong and wind con-
ditions must therefore be considered when deciding on
the buildings design.
In order to achieve the best possible level of comfort in
the urban spaces, the vegetation is placed so that local
areas with shelter are created at selected sites.
Robust materials
The character and identity of the rhusgade quarter is ba-
sed on the history of the harbour area. Traditional robust
materials are therefore used that are consistent with the
harbours history: concrete, asphalt, hard wood and steel.
These materials can withstand the climate at the water-
front. They age beautifully and satisfy the functional requi-
rements in the best possible way.
Concrete is used for the majority of surfaces, which creates
a continuous floor for the entire area. The island streets
are laid with asphalt on roadways and bicycle paths, while
granite (cobblestones) and steel are used in selected sites.
Street furniture of steel and wood are used with sturdy so-
lutions inspired by traditional harbour equipment.
Several different types of vegetation will be planted. The
promenades and island streets become strong green fea-
tures, thanks to the continuous sequence of uniform trees
and vegetation. Simple species are used on the squa-
re that interact with the specific character of the square,
while the urban gardens contain many different species
of trees and plants that create different green experien-
ces and contribute to ensuring that the green structure is
experienced as diverse and varied.through the choice of
pavement, vegetation and lighting, while transforming it
into a lively pedestrian and bicycle friendly area. The ori-
ginal intention was to divide the project into a number of
phases, but as a result of the high demand for building
plots in the area, the project will now be carried out in one
phase as quickly as possible.

The beautiful museum, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art,
is located 40 kilometres north of Copenhagen and it has
gained a reputation as a museum in touch with the zeit-
geist of the contemporary art world. Experience internati-
onal artists, concerts and lectures.

You can always be sure to take in refreshing and innovative

contemporary art as well as modernist classics when you
visit Lousiana. Besides the impressive permanent collec-
tion with over 3,000 works, the museum has 8-12 special
exhibitions annually.

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is situated in Denmark

Louisiana
on the North Zealand coast in a spacious, old park with a Museum
fine view across the sound of Sweden. It houses an exqui-
site collection of modern art by international artists such
as Arp, Francis Bacon, Calder, Dubuffet, Max Ernst, Sam
Francis, Giacometti, Kiefer, Henry Moore, Picasso, Rau-
schenberg and Warhol.

Every year, the Louisiana Museum shows six to eight ma-

jor exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, including
classical masters of modern art as well as new and upco-
ming international artists.

Louisiana is not merely an experience in modern and con-

temporary art, but a congenial reflection of the interplay
between art, architecture and landscape. Humlebk

 Exhibitions
YAYOI KUSAMA
IN INFINITY
17.9.2015 - 24.1.2016
Within a few years, Yayoi Kusama (born 1929) has beco-
me a favourite of Louisianas guests because of her Gle-
aming Lights of the Souls installation at the museum a
mirror-lined room with hundreds of lamps in various co-
lours that give the viewer a cosmic sensation of being in
an infinite space.
But with a career spanning six decades, Kusama is much
more than this. She came onto the art scene almost as a
woman counterpart to Andy Warhol in New York in the
1960s, where she expressed herself in a mixture of art, fas-
hion and happenings. Since then, her striking visual langu-
age and constant artistic innovation have rightfully earned
her a position as one of todays most prominent artists.
Louisianas exhibition of Kusama tells the full story of this
Japanese artist who with prodigious productivity has cre-
ated an entire world unto itself, in which color, patterns
and movement together bear witness to her fascination
with the infinite.
The Louisiana exhibition unfurls the whole of Kusamas
lifes work: from early watercolours and pastels to her
ground-breaking paintings and sculptures from the 1960s,
psychedelic films, performances, installations and politi-
cal happenings in the 1960s and the early 1970s, as well
as shedding new light on works from the 1980s, after the
artists return to Tokyo. Also on show exhibition are seve-
ral of Kusamas recent installations, and a series of new
paintnings by the 86-year-old Kusama, created especially
for Louisianas exhibition. The exhibition is the first Kusa-
ma retrospective to take into account the artists interest
in fashion and design but also includes several important
works from her early period that have never before been
exhibited.

AFRICA
ARCHITECTURE, CULTURE AND IDENTITY
25.6.2015 - 25.10.2015
This summers major exhibition at Louisiana focuses on
architecture, art and culture on the African continent. By
pinpointing a number of judiciously selected examples
from a cultural here and now, the exhibition sheds light on
the diversity and complexity of the part of Africa south of
the Sahara Desert.
Through a number of projects spread over the African con-
tinent the exhibition tells a story of the new architecture of
different regions with its various proposals for accommo-
dating local traditions, strengthen the existing ones and
create solutions for the future. The exhibition presents a
sensuous architectural scenography and a number of ins-
tallations, where the form, scale and space of architecture
can be perceived on a 1:1 scale. Life around the buildings
is also part of the architecture. In the exhibition art, pho-
tography, film and other arts create perspective to the ar-
chitects efforts - and helps to refine our image of this part
of the world.
The AFRICA exhibition is the third chapter in Louisianas
major series Architecture, Culture and Identity. In 2012, the
museum unveiled the first chapter NEW NORDIC and
in 2014, it turned attention toward the Arab world with the
ARAB CONTEMPORARY exhibition.
2 Nrum Allotmentgardens
Landscapearchitekt: C. Th. Srensen
Year of opening: 1948
Adress: Nrumgrdsvej, Nrum

Die Kleingartenanlage wurde 1948 vom dnischen Land-

schaftsarchitekt C. Th. Srensen in Nrum, einem Vorort
von Kopenhagen, angelegt. Auf der welligen Rasenflche
reihen sich 40 ca. 400m groe ovale Parzellen auf unsicht-
barem Raster asymmetrisch aneinander. Jede Parzelle ist
von einer Hecke umrandet. Vom Rand der Anlage be-
trachtet, scheinen die geometrisch przise konstruierten
Ellipsen die Hnge herunter bis zum tiefsten Punkt, einem
Teich in der Mitte des Gelndes, zu flieen. Die Gestal-
tung der Parzellen ist dem jeweiligen Besitzer berlassen,
Srensen hat jedoch einen Guide herausgegeben, der
verschiedene Gestaltungsvorschlge macht. Dabei sind
die Anordnung der Elemente in der Parzelle und die Aus-
wahl der Pflanzen bis ins kleinste Detail durchdacht. So
besteht eine ideale Gestaltung etwa aus drei Ovalen, die
nach dem Matrjoschka-Prinzip ineinander geschachtelt
sind: in der Mitte der Gemsegarten, davon halb verdeckt
ein Blumenbeet und zum Rand hin Rasen mit Obstbu-
men. Die Gartengestaltung sei laut Srensen einfach ge-
halten, erziele aber durch die besondere Anordnung der
Elemente eine enorme Erlebbarkeit. Die Anordnung der
Kleingrten in einzelnen Ovalen hat auch ganz praktische

Landscape Architect: Harald Plum, Henrik Iversen
Year of Realization: 1952-1967
Address: Lynby Parkkirkegard
Gyrithe Lemches Vej 9
2800 Kongens Lyngby

Die Gemeinde Lyngby lobte fr die Gestaltung des Fried-
hofs samt dazugehrender Friedhofskapelle im Jahre
1951 einen Wettbewerb aus, den die Architekten Plum
und Iversen gewannen (Sehe Eintrag Alvar Aalto links un-
ten).Vorgabe war, die seichten Tler, die das Gebiet kenn-
zeichnen und eher untypisch fr die eher flache dnische
Landschaft sind, in ihrem Naturzustand als Grasflche mit
Wildblumen zu belassen.

Wie der Entwurfsplan zeigt, sollte der Friedhof auf dem

nrdlichen Bereich zwischen den beiden Tlern sowie im
sdlichen Bereich angelegt werden. Der brige Teil sollte
als natrlicher, ffentlicher Park dienen. Wie auf den Pl-
nen zu erkennen ist, sind die Grabfelder kreuzfrmig an-
gelegt (von gestutzten Hecken umgeben) und verlaufen in
zwei Reihen. Die Hauptwege werden von Pinienbumen
gesumt. Im Osten steht die Friedhofskapelle, die von ei-
nem Pinien-und Eichenwald umgeben wird. Wie das Luft-
bild zeigt, wurde der Planentwurf nicht in vollem Umfang
umgesetzt. Statt der Grabfelder im nrdlichen Bereich
zwischen den beiden Tlern wurde ein Wldchen ange-
legt. Auch die Grabfelder im sdlichen Bereich wurden
nicht in gleichem Ma umgesetzt, wie vorgesehen. Nur
zehn kreuzfrmige Grabfelder sind hier realisiert worden.

4 Superkilen
Project: Urban Revitalization Superkilen C
Team: TOPOTEK 1, BIG, Superflex
Location: Norrebro, Copenhagen (Denmark)
Planning: 2007
Size: 39.000 m2

Superkilen is a heterogenous site-collage in a dense, cen-

trally located neighborhood in Copenhagen. The strongly
international quarter with a mix of different cultures is to
be revitalized using open space as a physical framework.
This space is to be propelled beyond its current role as
a mono-functional transit area into being innovative and
dense with sychronicities.

Accordingly, the concept aims at enhancing the diverse

characters within the site, creating a black square, a red
square and a green park. Further, in the way of a dialo-
gue with the realities of Superkilen, the design reattributes
motifs from garden-history. In the garden, the translocati-
on of an ideal, the reproduction of a another place, such
as a far off landscape, is a common theme through time.

Where the historic Chinese garden features miniature rock

formations of famous mountain ranges, the Japanese zen
garden abstracts the sea into waves of gravel. The historic
gardens in Florence or Versaille are loaden with allego-
rical depictions and the historic English landscape gar-
den showcases replications of Greek ruins. We propose
to employ a contemporary, an urban version of a univer-
sal garden. Familiar, yet surprising. At Superkilen, a new
transfer of significant elements from other places is to give
meaning and ambiance. Simultaneously, this transfer will
reflect and engage the quarters urban reality.

The furnishing and equipment of Superkilen will be a com-

pilation from an international catalogue of elements, in-
cluding international billboards and light-advertisement.
The flashing neon advertisement for a Japanese pachinko
parlour astonishes analogous to historic chinoseries, while
telephone cells from Latinamerica create the flicker of an
illusion of a beach promenade.

Kastellet
Kastellet is one of the best preserved star fortresses in
Northern Europe. It is constructed in the form of a pen-
tagram with bastions at its corners. Kastellet was conti-
nuous with the ring of bastioned ramparts which used to
encircle Copenhagen but of which only the ramparts of
Christianshavn remain today.
A number of buildings are located within the grounds of
Kastellet, including a church as well as a windmill. The area
houses various military activities but its mainly serves as a
public park and a historic site.
The Citadel has two gates, Kings Gate on the south side,
facing the city, and Norway Gate on the north side of the
edifice, which both date from 1663 as part of Ruises ori-
ginal citadel. They are built in the Dutch Baroque style,
and are on their interior side flanked by guardhouses. The
Kings Gate is decorated with garlands and pilasters, and
a bust of King Frederik III. The clock and two bells on the
interior facade of the gate come from the Central Guard
House at Kongens Nytorv and were installed in 1874 when
the central guard moved to the Citadel. In front of the gate
stand two so-called caponiers from where it was possible
to keep assaulting troops under fire. The Norway Gate
used to face open countryside outside the city, and has
therefore been built to a more simple design. The capo-
niers of this gate were demolished in the late 19th century.
Den lille havfrue
The Little Mermaid (Danish: Den lille havfrue) is a bron-
ze statue by Edvard Eriksen, depicting a mermaid. The
sculpture is displayed on a rock by the waterside at the
Langelinie promenade in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is 1.25
metres tall.
Based on the fairy tale of the same name by Danish author
Hans Christian Andersen, the small and unimposing statue
is a Copenhagen icon and has been a major tourist attrac-
tion since 1913. In recent decades it has become a popular
target for defacement by vandals and political activists.
The statue was commissioned in 1909 by Carl Jacobsen,
son of the founder of Carlsberg, who had been fascinated
by a ballet about the fairytale in Copenhagens Royal The-
atre and asked the ballerina, Ellen Price, to model for the
statue. The sculptor Edvard Eriksen created the bronze
statue, which was unveiled on August 23, 1913. The sta-
tues head was modelled after Price, but as the ballerina
did not agree to model in the nude, the sculptors wife,
Eline Eriksen, was used for the body.
The Copenhagen City Council arranged to move the sta-
tue to Shanghai at the Danish Pavilion for the duration of
the Expo 2010 (May to October), the first time it had been
moved officially from its perch since it was installed almost
a century earlier. While the statue was away in Shanghai
an authorised copy was displayed on a rock in the lake in
Copenhagens nearby Tivoli Gardens. Copenhagen offici-
als have considered moving the statue several meters out
into the harbour to discourage vandalism and to prevent
tourists from climbing onto it, but as of May 2014 the sta-
tue remains on dry land at the water side.
Amalienborg
Amalienborg is made up of four identical buildings -
Christian VIIs Palace (also known as Moltkes Palace, used
as guest residence), Christian VIIIs Palace (also known as
Levetzau Palace, used as guest palace for Prince Joa-
chim and Princess Benedikte), Frederik VIIIs Palace (also
known as Brockdorffs Palace, home of the Crown Prince
family), and Christian IXs Palace (also known as Schacks
Palace, home of the Queen and Prince Consort). In the
middle of the palace square there is a statue of King
Frederik V from 1771.
At the Amalienborg Museum in Christian VIIIs palace you
can experience royal life past and present. The museum
there presents the private interiors of the most recent
kings and queens and an exhibit on the monarchy today
with its many traditions.
Changing of The Royal Guard
Amalienborg is also known for its Royal Guard, called
Den Kongelige Livgarde. Every day you can experience
the changing of the guards, as they march from their bar-
racks in Gothersgade 100 by Rosenborg Castle through
the streets of Copenhagen and end up at Amalienborg,
where the changing of the guard takes place at 12:00
noon. The route varies.

arranged as a circular building in 7 storeys containing all
the facilities of the residence hall and encircling one big,
planted courtyard in the centre.

The cylindrical main shape is transected by 5 vertical lines

that visually and functionally divide the building into sec-
tions and appear to be continuous, open passages pro-
viding access from the outside to the central courtyard.

In the inner courtyard of the residence hall, you see

the main common areas, the kitchens and the common
rooms, that contrary to nature seem to be hanging freely
in the air. With a depth of up to 8 meters, these boxes are
an impressive feat of engineering requiring gathering ins-
piration from e.g. building bridges in the open sea.

Besides the characteristic circular shape, one of the most

conspicuous elements in the architectural layout of Tiet-
genkollegiet is the choice of materials. On the outside, the
front of the residence hall is clad with the cobber-based
alloy tombak and oak. The indoor areas are characterised
by the smooth, unpainted concrete walls clad with birch
ply and floors of magnesite. 37

restad is an emerging neighborhood in Copenhagen
that is redefining 21st century living. At the heart of the
development is 8 Tallet (or 8 House), a progressive apart-
ment complex that is a small neighborhood in itself. The
bowtie-shaped 61,000 sqm mixed-use building of three
different types of residential housing and 10,000 sqm of
retail and offices comprises Denmarks largest private de-
velopment ever undertaken.
The 8 House creates two intimate interior courtyards, se-
parated by the centre of the cross which houses 500 sqm
of communal facilities available for all residents. At the
very same spot, the building is penetrated by a 9 meter
wide passage that allows people to easily move from the
park area on its western edge to the water filled canals to
the east. Instead of dividing the different functions of the
building for both habitation and trade into separate
blocks, the various functions have been spread out hori-
zontally. The apartments are placed at the top while the
commercial program unfolds at the base of the building.
As a result, the different horizontal layers have achieved a
quality of their own: the apartments benefit from the view,
sunlight and fresh air, while the office leases merge with
life on the street.

In only 3 months restaden has been given a new outdoor
public space, which claimed by media, the new town has
lacked for a long time. Landscape Architects Kragh & Ber-
glund A/S has made a proposal for this new public space
from early sketches to final drawings. Plug N Play is a tem-
porary activity park placed on a future building site almost
adjacent to Vestamager Metro Station. The site consisting
of grasslands and earth mounds of excess soil from other
recently built plots. The temporary park spans approx. 2.5
hectares and contains a variety of known as well as lesser
known courts for physical activity all joined together by a
simple and almost white concrete slab paving meandering
in between the activity courts as paths and larger open
plazas.
The proposal operates with a dynamic placing of activi-
ties, all in order to make it possible to remove and plug
in new play activities or just reshape or move the existing.
The concept is supporting the synergy between groups of
users and activities. The proposal works with sustainability
and recycling. Storm and drainage water is collected and
let to a ditch, where it is delayed, before being sent to the
nearby canal system. Many of the materials used in paving
and retaining walls are not fixed they can simply be ta-
ken up and reused in another context at another site. An
essential part of the proposal is to add very strong vertical
elements / focal points to the site; the orange containers
used as a caf, storage rooms and club facilities 39

KONGENS HAVE

Kongens Have
Once a monastery garden, then a Baroque garden, Kon-
gens Have (The Kings Garden) is today also a place for
many open air concerts or carnivals.
Kongens Have is the oldest and most visited park in cen-
tral Copenhagen, Denmark. Established in the early 17th
century as the private gardens of King Christian IVs Ro-
senborg Castle, the oark also contains several other his-
torical buildings, including Rosenborg Barracks, home
to the Royal Guards, as well as a high number of statues
and monuments. The park also plays host to temporary
art exhibitions and other events such as concerts throug-
hout the summer. The park traces its history back to 1606
when King Christian IV acquired land outside Copenha-
gens East Rampart and established a pleasure garden
in renaissance style which also delivered fruit, vegetables
and flowers for the royal household at Copenhagen Cast-
le. The garden had a relatively small pavilion which was
later expanded into present day Rosenborg Castle, which
was completed in 1624.
In 1634, Charles Ogier, secretary to the French ambassa-
dor to Denmark, compared the gardens to the Tuileries
Garden in Paris. The garden contained a pavilion, statues,
a fountain and various other features. Its plants included
mulberries, vine, apples, pears and lavender. Later in the
century, as fashions changed, the garden was redesigned.
A garden plan from 1669 show a garden maze, a typical
feature of the Baroque garden. It had an intricate system
of paths which led to a central space with an octagonal
summerhouse in its centre. From about 1710, after Frede-
riksberg Palace had been built, Rosenborg Castle, as well
as its gardens, was largely abandoned by the royal family
and the gardens were instead opened to the public.
