Edu- cation is the source of income creation and greater wealth.” The majority of jobs in Copenhagen are knowledge-based with a high degree of value creation. “Copenhagen is changing a lot these days. The city has become a dynamic centre in northern Europe for knowledge intensive professions. This is a major factor behind the income and affluence that Copenhageners are creating,” says Henrik Christoffersen. Among the reasons why Copenhagen is attracting so many highly educated people is its well functioning infrastruc- ture, good educational opportunities, rich cultural life and metropolitan atmos- phere, which is lively without being too stressful. Good quality housing and a low crime rate also contribute to the ex- A HUB FOR CRUISES cellent life quality. Copenhagen has become a north European hub for cruises.

  • Circular Dormitories Between City and Private Life
    circular dormitories between city and private life A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TWO ICONIC STUDENT HALLS IN COPENHAGEN AND VIENNA UNICA EUROMASTER IN URBAN STUDIES 4CITIES RIKKE GRAM-HANSEN SUPERVISED BY HENRIK REEH, UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN SUBMITTED SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2012 THESIS DEFENSE SEPTEMBER 28TH, 2012 ABSTRACT Studentenheim Gasometer and Tietgenkollegiet are two circular dormitories inaugurated in the 21st century. They are both highly iconic pieces of architecture with an important placement in new urban develop- ments. In this way they deviate from the widespread conception of student housing as temporal and not worth personal investments as a home, nor external investments in quality and architecture. This thesis explores how the iconic dormitory has developed in a historical context, and what it means to student life in relation to the surrounding society and city. The analysis shows how the iconic dormitory is inscribed in a tradition of student housing dating back to the dawn of the medieval university, while it also embodies current ideas of student living, in line with contemporary domestic and urban developments. The circular dormitories frame a community that the students experience as salient for their satisfaction with the dormitory as a home, and the architecture is seen as an expression of both the social and personal identity of the students. The architecture is thereby also important in relation to the city. The iconic dormitories are landmarks and highly symbolic in their neighbourhoods, but the circles at once close around themselves and the student community within, as well as stand out exceptionally in the cityscapes. The circular architecture thereby accentuates the exception that also student culture forms in society.
