People at the Centre Danish Architecture Is Known for Its Humanism People at the centre Danish architecture is known for its humanism. And Copenhagen is in constant motion, yet it holds on to the proud architecture and design past created by pioneers such as Jørn Utzon, Arne Jacobsen and Hans Wegner. Right now, the city is preparing itself for a greener future. Danish architecture is designed for life. Thus, it is not strange that Copenhagen has been crowned as the best city to live in several times. Beauty goes hand in hand with functionality in a vibrating metropolis, which guards its unique historical cores at the same time as it develops new, sustainable buildings, creating the Copenhagen of the future. Cosmopolitan and cosy – ‘hyggelig’ Everything from Jørn Utzon’s imposing Opera House in Sydney to Vilhelm Lauritzen’s rounded functionalist Radio House and Arne Jakobsen’s world renowned Egg are created with the focus on the people which will use the final product. The democratic expression and simple design is a central part of modern Danish architecture and design. In this way, Copenhagen mirrors the Danish mentality and the city becomes cosmopolitan and ‘hyggelig’ (roughly translates to cosy) at the same time. The world’s oldest monarchy In the heart of the old Copenhagen lies Amalienborg, where the Danish royal family lives. Frederiksstaden dates back to the 18th century and is a natural centre for Copenhagen, with its wide streets and imposing bourgeois houses and palaces. Like many other European cities, Copenhagen is growing considerably in these years. Just as the architect Niels Eigtved planned Frederiksstaden to create unity between the city and the citizen, also the new Copenhagen is characterised by innovation and architectural development, which creates a city with the people at its core. Traditional, yet always contemporary The urban planning and construction boom of the last decades show how a city is constantly changing, yet at the same time it holds on to its proud past. Copenhagen’s skyline does not consist of hotels and office building – it is made of spires and towers. The studio BIG, with its star architect Bjarke Ingels at the lead, has created several of the city’s new landmarks. The figure- eight-shaped BIG House (8TALLET) has been called the world’s best residential building. The studio’s latest project – Copenhill (Amager Bakke) – is the world’s most modern and environmentally friendly waste-to-energy plant which, in the typical Copenhagen spirit, will also be a recreation space with a roof that can be used all year long for skiing, climbing, running and hiking. Life lived by the water Copenhagen is located by the sea. The harbour and canals do not only connect the city, they are also clean enough to bathe in and the Copenhageners gather along the edges of the water in cafés and harbour pools, while the new residential areas are gently incorporated in the existing setting. The cyclists pass by the water as well, with the Inner Harbour Bridge, also known as the ‘Kissing Bridge’, as the next example of infrastructure making life easier for the city’s countless cyclists. Democratic meeting places Danish architects always consider the organic unity in their work. Therefore, a big part of the authentic Copenhagen is well preserved. This makes Copenhagen vibrating and conservative at the same time. Old royal gardens such as the King’s Garden from the 17th century and the modern meeting space Superkilen are just two examples of the countless meeting places in the middle of the city. The Copenhageners meet each other in the public space and ‘community’ has been a code word for Danish architects for a long time – both when they build and when they plan. Sustainability goals from a humane perspective Danish architects have worked with sustainability long before it became a buzzword. It seems just natural that the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts will dedicate the next years to develop architecture and design which can contribute to create a more sustainable world. All graduation projects must relate to the goals and the future architects and designers will therefore, one more time, be the drivers of growth through the development of innovative lectures on global challenges. Of course, everything done with people at the centre. Choice of captions: Maersk Tower (2017): Architect: C. F. Møller. The generous university building with its rounded corners and warm colours is made to give back to the community. Copenhill/Amager Bakke (end of 2017): Architect: BIG. Waste-to-energy plant and ski slope in one. A typical example of contemporary Danish architecture, which is both functional and sustainable, and simultaneously invites Copenhageners to use the area for recreation. Islands Brygge Harbour Bath: Open air swimming right in the middle of Copenhagen’s inner harbour, where Copenhageners bathe all year long in the centre of the vibrant metropolis. Amalienborg (1748): Architect: Nicolai Eigtved. Denmark is the world’s oldest monarchy and the royal family lives in the rococo palace Amalienborg, located in Frederiksstaden in the heart of Copenhagen. The Royal Danish Playhouse/Skuespillehuset (2008): Architect: Lundgaard and Tranberg. With its unique location on Kvæsthusbroen, the Royal Playhouse is an example of newer, world class Danish architecture. Inner Harbour Bridge/Inderhavnsbroen (2016): Architect: Studio Bednarski. Popularly known as the Kissing Bridge. Cyclists and pedestrians can now pass effortlessly from the city centre to Christianshavn. .

  • The Nyhavn Experience
    The Nyhavn Experience A non-representational perspective The deconstruction of the Nyhavn experience through hygge By Maria Sørup-Høj Aalborg University 2017 Tourism Master Thesis Supervisor: Martin Tranberg Jensen Submission date: 31 May 2017 Abstract This thesis sets out to challenge the existing way of doing tourism research by using a non- representational approach in looking into the tourist experience of Nyhavn, Denmark. The Nyhavn experience is deconstructed through the Danish phenomenon hygge, where it is being investigated how the contested space of Nyhavn with its many rationalities creates the frames, which hygge may unfold within. It is demonstrated how hygge is a multiple concept, which is constituted through various elements, including the audience, the actors and their actions, the weather, the sociality, the materiality and the political landscape in Nyhavn. The elements in the study are being discussed separately in order to give a better view on the different aspects. However, it is important to note point out that these aspects cannot be seen as merely individual aspects of establishing hygge, but that they are interrelated and interconnected in the creation of the atmosphere of hygge. The collecting of the data was done via embodied methods inspired by the performative turn in tourism, where the focus is on the embodied and multisensous experience. This is carried out by integrating pictures, video and audio clips, observant participation and impressionist tales in order to try to make the ephemeral phenomenon hygge as concrete as possible. Furthermore, data have been collected via netnography on TripAdvisor and travel blogs respectively. The study is characterized by being transdisciplinary, where theory has been drawn in from various fields, such as tourism, human geography, sociology, anthropology and sociology of the senses.

  • Det Historiske Hjørne V/ Jørgen Villadsen W2C3 Grønnegårds Havn
    Det historiske hjørne v/ Jørgen Villadsen W2C3 Grønnegårds Havn. ”Christiansbro er den nye eksklusive del af Christianshavn, der ligger fra Knippelsbro og ned til Christianshavns kanal.” hedder det i Skanskas reklamemateriale for byggeriet Enhjørningen. Det materiale vi modtog ved den første information om byggeriet. Jeg vil i det følgende prøve at give en beskrivelse af området fra Arilds tid og til i dag, hvor det indrammes af Torvegade, Overgaden neden Vandet, Hammershøj Kaj og havnepromenaden langs kontorbygningerne. Oprindelig var området et lavvandet sumpet område mellem Amager og Sjælland, hvor sejlbare render lå over mod fiskerlejet Havn på Sjællands kyst. På nogle små øer byggede Absalon borg i 1167. Der hvor Christiansborg i dag ligger. Det ældste billedmateriale fra omkring 1580 og samtidige skriftlige kilder viser at forsyninger med fødevarer til København fra Amager foregik ved en primitiv færgefart mellem Revsholm på Amager og Københavns havn ved nuværende Højbro Plads. (Skovserkonens stade.) Københavns havn var på denne tid kun vandet mellem Slotsholmen og København. Nuværende Frederiksholms kanal og Gl. Strand. Der var dog et yderligere sejlløb i forlængelse af Gl. Strand, Bremerholm dyb. Det er fyldt op i dag og findes kun i gadenavnene, Dybensgade, Bremerholm og Holmens bro. I 1556 forærer Christian den III Københavns borgere Grønnegårds havn . Et område der svarer til grundene hvorpå Enhjørningen, Løven og Elefanten er placeret. Dengang var området først og fremmest vand omgivet af lidt sumpet land mod øst. Havnen blev brugt som vinterhavn for Københavns handelsskibe, der her kunne ligge i læ for vejr og vind, når de var lagt op for vinteren.

Sans pinceau le doigt seul place et fond chaque teinte; Le duvet du papier en conserve l’empreinte; Un crystal la défend; ainsi, de la beauté Le Pastel a l’éclat et la fragilité.1 It is at once line and colour – a sort of synthesis of the traditional opposition that had been debated vigorously by theoreticians such as Roger de Piles in the previous century.

  • Looking for Leisure. Court Residences and Their Satellites 1400-1700
    Two Cases of Reuse and spolia in the Early Modern Danish Architecture of Leisure Ulla Kjær & Poul Grinder-Hansen Looking for Leissure This paper discusses some aspects of the reuse of buildings and building materials in Early Modern Denmark, based on the fate of two Renaissance leisure houses, each of which was reused in a later period, either by being remodelled or incorporated as spolia1 into later buildings in the first two thirds of the eighteenth century, the Royal Country Houses Fredensborg by the architect Johan Cornelius Krieger and Marienlyst by the French-born architect Nicolas-Henri Jardin. This paper examines how this kind of reuse should be understood, and whether it was merely a question of economic necessity or if there were other factors, such as architectural appreciation or symbolic meaning, at play. The reuse of older buildings and building materials was a widespread and often necessary feature of architecture before the middle of the nineteenth century. It was, to a large extent, an economic issue; reusing building material from older structures saved money. In many cases older buildings were completely demolished, and their masonry was transported to a new site, where it disappeared into the walls of a new construction. This practice was common in Danish architecture, but is not the focus of this paper. More interesting are the cases where an existing building was not torn down but remodelled to accommodate new architectural or functional standards. Economic concerns probably played a role in such cases as well, but other considerations may be behind the choice of preserving an older structure, even in a transformed state.
