2017-08-19 Copenhagen Liberty Copenhagen Liberty Sunday, August 20 We had a couple hours between flights and went to Huxley's for an English Breakfast. We both had opened the box breakfast British Airways offered about an hour and a half before landing... and we closed the boxes back up. Then we cleared the checkpoint for through passengers and had time to catch up before our connecting flight to Copenhagen. Liz had salmon eggs Benedict and I had eggs, English bacon and a banger, grilled tomato, and baked beans. The banger was less than tasty and my stomach began acting up, either from the curried chicken the night before or the banger this morning. I was uncomfortably cramped. We walked through the terminal to catch the transfer train to our gate. They had a standing, woman shaped screen which almost seemed like a hologram and, depending which language had been selected, spoke to passersby to tell them how to use the train. It was quite clever and very realistic. We followed her guidance and made our way to Gate 62 in A Terminal. The two hour flight passed quickly and we were immediately met at luggage claim by our guide to the hotel. There were six people in our ride but later that day we would be joined by another 19 people on the On Line Vacation extension. When we arrived at the Trivoli Hotel and Convention Center we were 121 surprised to see Olivier, our London hotel guide from last year. He would coordinate our booking and then go on to Stockholm later in the week. On Olivier's advice we took a walk up the street and over the train and tram tracks into a district which would feature nice restaurants. Sadly, even with all the bicycle traffic, we found most of the places were closed on Sunday. We then walked back to have our dinner at the Trivoli Brasseri. There were several tables of people we recognized as being in the On Line Vacation Pre-cruise group staying in the hotel. We reviewed the menu and decided on a Starter: Brasserieets Caesar salad: Spicy heart salad turned home with homemade Caesar dressing ~ planed Parmesan ~ croutons). The Main course: Powdered breast of chicken - buttered summer green - broken new potatoes. The meal was lovely and served as a reintroduction to European restaurant prices. Though not brutal, the charges are a bit more than we would find in a comparable restaurant at home. Monday, August 21 Copenhagen was originally a Viking fishing village founded in the 10th century, Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in the early 15th century. Beginning in the 17th century it consolidated its position as a regional center of power with its institutions, defenses and armed forces. After suffering from the effects of plague and fire in the 18th century, the city underwent a period of redevelopment. This included construction of the prestigious district of Frederiksstaden and founding of such cultural institutions as the Royal Theater and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. After further disasters in the early 19th century when Nelson attacked the Dano-Norwegian fleet and bombarded the city, rebuilding during the Danish Golden Age brought a Neoclassical look to Copenhagen's architecture. Later, following the Second World War, the Finger Plan fostered the development of housing and businesses along the five urban railway routes stretching out from the city center. Since the turn of the 21st century, Copenhagen has seen strong urban and cultural development, facilitated by investment in its institutions and infrastructure. The city is the cultural, economic and governmental center of Denmark; it is one of the major financial centers of Northern Europe with the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. Copenhagen's economy has seen rapid developments in the service sector, especially through initiatives in information technology, pharmaceuticals and clean technology. Since the completion of the Øresund Bridge, Copenhagen has become increasingly integrated with the Swedish province of Scania and its largest city, Malmö, forming the Øresund Region. With a number of bridges connecting the various districts, the cityscape is characterized by 122 parks, promenades and waterfronts. Copenhagen's landmarks such as Tivoli Gardens, The Little Mermaid statue, the Amalienborg and Christiansborg palaces, Rosenborg Castle Gardens, Frederik's Church, and many museums, restaurants and nightclubs are significant tourist attractions. Copenhagen is home to the University of Copenhagen, the Technical University of Denmark and Copenhagen Business School. The University of Copenhagen, founded in 1479, is the oldest university in Denmark. Copenhagen is home to the FC København and Brøndby football clubs. The annual Copenhagen Marathon was established in 1980. Copenhagen is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world. The Copenhagen Metro launched in 2002 serves central Copenhagen while the Copenhagen S-train network connects central Copenhagen to its outlying boroughs. Serving roughly two million passengers a month, Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup, is the largest airport in the Nordic countries. There were several buses waiting for the large group of tourists setting out from the hotel to tour the city. Our guide, Bert, was born in Copenhagen and although he had never been to the United States, his English was that of an American Midwesterner. As we drove he described his birthplace and told us what we would see. His plan was to arrive at our first stop, Rosenburg Castle, in time to match our appointed ticket entrance time. We drove past the grounds of the palace as Bert told us that Christian IV planned this palace “outside” the city to enjoy the fresh air and and avoid the congestion and grime of living n Copenhagen. Of course, now this estate is in the center of this world capital. When we made the turn to enter the grounds we noted that there were two platoons of the palace guard preparing for training in front of the palace. Royal Danish Life Guard is an infantry regiment of the Danish Army and founded in 1658 by King Frederik III. The guards we saw preparing for drill were in fatigues. Once we reached the front of the palace we learned the review order 123 uniform of the Royal Life Guards, worn while they are on guard duty, consists of bearskin headdresses, dark blue tunics and light blue trousers with white stripes. When we entered the castle we came to Christian IV chambers. Here we learned he was very prolific and fathered seven children by his first wife, Anne Catherine of Brandenburg, twelve children by his second wife, Kirsten Munk; his mistress, Kirsten Madsdatter, gave birth to another; another mistress, Karen Andersdatter, gave birth to two children; and another mistress, Vibeke Kruse, gave him two more children. As described later, Rosenborg Castle had to be expanded several times.The king had a privy over a stream, probably an early example of an indoor toilet, and it seemed to be tiled with blue and white porcelain squares. Bert suggested our group try to discover the “error” in that room. As it turned out, one of the tiles was installed upside down to emphasize that “only God is perfect” and therefore man made objects are prone to mistakes. When we finished the apartments we went upstairs to the throne room and viewed the tapestries, silver lions, and paintings of the kingdom. Then we went to the Schatzkammer to see the Crown Jewels and the regal trappings of office. These are appropriately stored in a vault/museum and under maximum security. Rosenborg Castle is a renaissance castle originally built as a country summerhouse in 1606 and is an example of Christian IV's many architectural projects. It was built in the Dutch Renaissance style, typical of Danish buildings during this period, and has been expanded several times, finally evolving into its present condition by the year 1624. The castle houses a museum exhibiting the Royal Collections, artifacts spanning a breadth of royal Danish culture, from the late 16th century of Christian IV to the 19th century. Some of these articles once belonged to the nobility and the aristocracy. The castle was opened to the public in 1838. Of special interest to tourists is a Schatzkammer displaying the Crown Jewels and the Danish Crown Regalia located in the castle. A Coronation Carpet is also stored there. The Throne Chair of Denmark is located in the castle. In the summer time, flowers bloom in front of the castle in the castle garden. After we left the castle we drove to the Langelinie promenade to see the Little Mermaid (Den lille Havfrue), a bronze statue by Edvard Eriksen. This iconic representation of Copenhagen is displayed on a rock off the shore. 124 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 attraction since 1913. “In recent decades it has become a popular target for defacement by vandals and political activists.” There a half dozen vendors selling mermaid souvenirs to a supposedly constant turnover of visitors. We had twenty minutes before we needed to rejoin the group for ride to Amalienborg. Amalienborg is the home of the Danish royal family, and is located in Copenhagen, Denmark. It consists of four identical classical palace facades with rococo interiors around an octagonal courtyard; in the center of the square is a monumental equestrian statue of Amalienborg's founder, King Frederick V. According to Eigtved’s master plans for Frederikstad and the Amalienborg Palaces, the four palaces surrounding the plaza were conceived of as town mansions for the families of chosen nobility. Their exteriors were identical, but interiors differed.

  • Engaging Young Adults to Read About Artworks
    IT UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN BACHELOR THESIS Engaging Young Adults to Read about Artworks Rethinking Interpretive Text through User-centered Design AUTHOR: LINDA ROGBERG SUPERVISOR: ANDERS SUNDNES LØVLIE MAY 2018 ABSTRACT Smartphones are becoming increasingly integrated in the museum experience, which paves the way for designers to experiment with alternative mediation processes. This paper presents a case study of the image recognition app Vizgu. The project is driven by a Research through Design approach, presenting a format for interpretive text of artworks in a locative media app. The format is based on a twofold design challenge. One, to design a story-editor tool that assists backend users to re-write interpretive texts. Two, to offer a redesign that supports the experience. Through a user-centered design approach, the format was tested and evaluated in three iterations with potential users. In the finale evaluation it was found that the story-editor tool could be used by inexperienced writers to re-write stories. Additionally, the re-written stories were evaluated in a prototype with users. It was evident that text must be presented in a manageable way with reduced amount of text, and that the stories must be written with a concrete language style using deictic writing to enhance the storytelling experience. To conclude, the results indicate that the format engages young adults to read about artworks. Yet, further research is necessary in order to make sufficient conclusions. 1 out of 72 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

  • Danish Cold War Historiography
    SURVEY ARTICLE Danish Cold War Historiography ✣ Rasmus Mariager This article reviews the scholarly debate that has developed since the 1970s on Denmark and the Cold War. Over the past three decades, Danish Cold War historiography has reached a volume and standard that merits international attention. Until the 1970s, almost no archive-based research had been con- ducted on Denmark and the Cold War. Beginning in the late 1970s, however, historians and political scientists began to assess Danish Cold War history. By the time an encyclopedia on Denmark and the Cold War was published in 2011, it included some 400 entries written by 70 researchers, the majority of them established scholars.1 The expanding body of literature has shown that Danish Cold War pol- icy possessed characteristics that were generally applicable, particularly with regard to alliance policy. As a small frontline state that shared naval borders with East Germany and Poland, Denmark found itself in a difficult situation in relation to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as well as the Soviet Union. With regard to NATO, Danish policymakers balanced policies of integration and screening. The Danish government had to assure the Soviet Union of Denmark’s and NATO’s peaceful intentions even as Denmark and NATO concurrently rearmed. The balancing act was not easily managed. A review of Danish Cold War historiography also has relevance for con- temporary developments within Danish politics and research. Over the past quarter century, Danish Cold War history has been remarkably politicized.2 The end of the Cold War has seen the successive publication of reports and white books on Danish Cold War history commissioned by the Dan- ish government.

Its objective is to ensure a robust economy in Denmark, and Danmarks Nationalbank holds a range of responsibilities of vital socioeconomic importance. The Danmarks Nationalbank building is centrally located in Copen­ hagen and is a distinctive presence in the urban landscape. The build­ ing, which was built in the period 1965–78, was designed by interna­ tionally renowned Danish architect Arne Jacobsen. It is considered to be one of his principal works. In 2009, it became the youngest building in Denmark to be listed as a historical site. When the building was listed, the Danish Agency for Culture highlighted five elements that make it historically significant: 1. The building’s architectural appearance in the urban landscape 2. The building’s layout and spatial qualities 3. The exquisite use of materials 4. The keen attention to detail 5. The surrounding gardens This publication presents the Danmarks Nationalbank building, its architecture, interiors and the surrounding gardens. For the most part, the interiors are shown as they appear today.

  • Frederiksstaden Set Fra En Anden Vinkel
    Anmeldelser 409 ren både egentlige byplanarbejder samt udkast til større byggeri, ja der er end­ og exempler på forslag til opstilling af skulpturer. Med så vid en definition er det indlysende, at man ikke kan få alt med, og skønt nogle læsere utvivl­ somt vil finde mangler, synes forfatteren dog at have dækket emnet godt, såle­ des at de væsentligste projekteringsarter er omtalt. Som nævnt er illustrationerne det bærende element i bogen. Alligevel må man gøre indsigelse mod teksten, som skæmmes af urimeligt mange trykfejl og unøj­ agtigheder. Ulrik Frederik Gyldenløve var trods alt ikke Christian V ’s halvonkel og Frederik VI ikke konge i 1745. Hofbygmester Lauritz Thurah hed ikke Albert til fornavn, ligesom arkitekten N. H. Jardin ikke stavede sig med »Ch« som sin landsmand, den berømte maler. Forfatterens kompasrose har en stærk misvisning, idet en udsigt mod Christiansborg fra Nybrogade angives at være set fra syd, mens Frederikskirken (Marmorkirken) skulle befinde sig øst for Amalienborgkvarteret. Bogen er naturligvis ikke tænkt som en tilbundsgående studie i Københavns byplanmæssige historie - den handler jo netop om de projekter, der ikke blev til noget. Den er en populær fremstilling i billeder og tekst af et særdeles interes­ sant emne, som rigtigt behandlet formår at sige umådeligt meget om hoved­ stadens historie og udvikling siden Christian IV ’s dage. Man er forfatteren tak­ nemmelig for den gode idé, og det er nyttigt at have alle disse ikke-realiserede projekter samlet på et sted. Det kunne blot være gjort bedre.

ISSN 2245-7070. (www.2dgf.dk/publikationer/bulletin). Late Holocene coastal dune successions in north-western Europe contain evidence of episodic aeolian sand movement in the recent past. If previous periods of increased sand movement can be dated sufficiently precisely and placed in a correct cultural and geomorphological context, they may add to our understanding of storminess variation and climate change in the North Atlantic during the later part of the Holocene.

  • SYDHAVNEN/SLUSEHOLMEN COPENHAGEN Harbour Renovation Project 2000-2009
    SYDHAVNEN/SLUSEHOLMEN COPENHAGEN Harbour renovation project 2000-2009 Text by Sjoerd Soeters Sydhavnen is the southern harbour disctrict of Copenhagen, located south of the historic city. With Java Island in Amsterdam as an example, Sjoerd Soeters was asked by the Municipality of Copenhagen to make a plan for the transformation of Sydhavnen into a residential area. Sydhavnen consists entirely of city blocks, situated so as to be oriented toward the water on all sides. In order to achieve this, kilometers of canal were added to the area. The size of the blocks are based on the dimensions of the large city blocks in the centre of Copenhagen. The twists and curves of the canals create constantly chang- ing spatial effects and sightlines. Sluseholmen is the first application of the Sydhavnen plan. The island is character- ized by a panoramic view of the surrounding water and a more intimate inner side. The inner area is formed by a curved main canal and several short lateral canals. Each city block is made up of different dwelling types. Supervised by Sjoerd Soeters, the facades of the blocks were worked out by different Dan- ish architects. Architectural guidelines were set for materials, colours, spatial effects and building height, to ensure that each city block remains unified and fits in with the greater ensemble. - 1 - Soeters Van Eldonk architecten Masterplan Sydhavnen 2000 Phase 1: Sluseholmen 2003-2009 Client masterplan Masterplan, supervision and architectural guidelines Byggemodningsselskabet Sluseholmen PS (Københavns Sjoerd Soeters Havn & Københavns Kommune) Developer Masterplan JM Danmark - Karre A & B Sjoerd Soeters Sjælsøgruppen - Karre C, D, F & H Nordicom - Karre E & G Block architects - design, construction & coordination Arkitema - Karre A, B, C, D, F & H Gröning Arkitekter - Karre E & G Landscape Arkitema Facade architects Arkitema Kim Utzon Arkitekter C.F.
