ERHVERVSAKADEMIET LILLEBÆLT, DENMARK

Hosting 46 Danish and international students from Erhvervsakademiet Lillebælt for full day visit in Copenhagen based upon the theme 'Skyscrapers' was a lot of fun, even though the fog distrupted an otherwise spectacular view from 23rd floor of Foster's office building in Ørestad.

ISRAEL'S SQUARE

Israel’s Square in Copenhagen has been undergoing a huge renewal since COBE ARCHITECTS won the competition in 2008. Squezed in between the citys renowned Market halls and the H. C. Ørsted Park - the new square for all kinds of sports and recreational activities is completed to everyone's joy.

FRENCH-SPEAKING GENEVA-BASED SWISS ARCHITECTS

Doing the entire 1000 meter long ramp on foot with the least impact on the community is always a challenge at 8HOUSE.

TECHNICAL SCHOOL ESBJERG, DENMARK

Our long term client Technical School Esbjerg visited with 30 students and teachers; they enjoyed the Trilogy of BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group - in Ørestaden: the VM Houses, the Mountain and the 8HOUSE.

BRUXELLES CHAPTER OF BELGIAN ARCHITECTS

Bruxelles chapter of Belgian Architects visited Copenhagen and its surroundings with 38 architects for a 3-day visit.

Seeing classic postwar contemporary Danish icons like Bellevue by Architect Arne Jacobsen and Fredensborg Houses by Architect Jørn Utzon on a beautiful late-summer day was a treat.

FORFATTERHUSET KINDERGARTEN

This brand new day-care institution for 160 children, age 0-6 of a size of approx. 2,000 m2 for the City of Copenhagen by COBE ARCHITECTS is really worth a visit!
It consists of five small houses with a unique brick cladding and green roof gardens which will provide the framework for Forfatterhuset Kindergarten. From the outside the day-care institution appears as a village for children, but from the inside it is coherent and efficient. This helps creating a place that is small,...

PRO:HOLZ NIEDERÖSTERREICH

Pro:Holz Niederösterreich came straight from Hamburg hosted by a-tours.

Then it was the local member of Guiding Architects Scaledenmark's tour showing how to keep 35 mature architects and decision makers interested for 1½ more days through the best of edutainment money can buy!

Not only getting interviewed by Austrian TV was a blast but getting to know the local Commercial Counsellor from the local Austrian Embassy seemed promising for future cooperation!

SWISS BAUSCHULE AARAU

Swiss Bauschule Aarau visited with 22 students and 2 teachers.

The lecture of Copenhagen as Eco-Metropole kickstarted a 2-day exploration on bicycles led by Scaledenmark's freelance guiding architect Bo Frederiksen.

ARCHITECTOURS FROM CONSTANZE

Architectours from Constanze visited yet another time with a superb mix of architects from eastern Germany and a leading Zürich office.

VELUX POLAND

Having VELUX Poland visit with 10 leading architects and Professors from the University of Warsaw for the first time was a joy and the beginning of a strong new cooperation.

AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF BEIRUT, LEBANON

Visits from Lebanon are not an everyday occurrence for Scaledenmark, but having American University of Beirut visit for half a day in Ørestad was a blast.

Fool me if some of these smart youngsters will not be the leaders and decision makers of their region in the future.

CREBETON FROM SWITZERLAND

Crebeton from Switzerland visited with a 50 PAX French / German speaking group of architects and decision makers.

The seminar was kick-started at DAC – Danish Architecture Center – and 3 days of exploration of the green Capital City of Copenhagen followed.

NORDHAVN IN COPENHAGEN OFFICIALLY OPENS

How exciting – a future home and workplace for 40,000 people is developing in front of our eyes on a former industrial landfill in Øresund.

The first workspaces in a former silo have already been filled, and inhabitants of the homes are soon to follow.

LUND MUNICIPALLITY, SWEDEN

Great hosting & talking urban qualities with the leader group of the Lund Municipallity with whom we share visions of the Øresund Region!

SUMMER SEMESTER OVER AT DANISH INSTITUTE OF STUDY ABROAD - WWW.DIS.DK

After having taught a spectacular group of bright young American Architecture students during the summer (in what has been measured as the warmest in 50 years) it's time for celebration!

FSP OF FREIBURG

While visiting Ørestaden we took the group for a visit to the state of the art Tietgen student housing.
Their own students are trained to tell the extraordinary story of the building, and life in and around it!

If any city on the planet would be worth calling a twin-city to Copenhagen when it comes to its values, it might be the south-German university town Freiburg.

We'll stay in contact!

SUMMER IN THE CITY

Seeing your city bursting with life when the weather takes on a Mediterranean character is something which makes anyone on the northern hemisphere overly excited.

Conclusion - you better enjoy it while you can!

STO GROUP, GERMANY

One of the classic components of our tours is the day-trip arround the Øresund – lots of highligts from visits of the western harbour, sustainable housing district of Malmö, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, to 8 House where we would wrap it all up before going back to the airport.

Thanks Ulrike for how great you are for our network of guiding architects.

First picture: here we are – the STO group has just landed in copenhagen international airport and literally 45 minutes later...
