Buildings in Copenhagen

Key Buildings in Copenhagen Architecture arranged chronologically:

The Blue Planet
Architects: 3XN

Blue Planet Copenhagen
The walls and roofs form a single, continuous flow and the longest of the whirlpool’s arms follows the shape of the landscape and the building, moving into the land inviting visitors inside. As soon as visitors arrive at The Blue Planet, the building will convey a sense of the special experience that awaits them inside.

Copenhagen Zoo – Elephant House
Design: Foster + Partners

The project has been driven by research into the behavioural patterns of elephants. The tendency for bull elephants in the wild to roam away from the main herd prompted a plan organised around two separate enclosures.

Copenhagen Opera House

Copenhagen Opera House
The design is reminiscent of the Concert Hall at Lucerne, Switzerland by architect Jean Nouvel*. When I visited Copenhagen in 2002 Holmen was a dull naval base cut off from the city; a recent visit in 2005 shows the huge cantilevers dominating the harbour from Knippelsbro. The Danish Architecture Centre is located just to the west in the lovely old quarter of Christianshavn.

Bagsvaerd Church / Bagsværd Kirke
Design: Jorn Utzon Architect
Bagsvaerd Church Building Copenhagen

Bagsvaerd Church
The exterior is quite hard and some of the materials (steep corrugated roof) and proportions (the stepping-down flanks atop the north and south facades either side of the ‘nave’) don’t sit quite right, but the interior is a tour-de-force, concealed lighting and ‘cloud’ ceiling being the highlights.
