Our colleagues of the Guiding Architects network in Hamburg, A-tour, have decided to bring the world to you through mini-interviews. We had the honour to share as the first city what is going on in Copenhagen and how we can keep enjoying what the city of green has to offer.

31.10.2019If one wanted to get an idea of what sustainable architecture and urban planning is in Denmark, then it was for once a better idea to spend two days inside. Instead of moving through Copenhagen looking at thought-provoking case-studies Scaledenmark changed its learning ground to the Building Green convention at Forum in Frederiksberg. The focus, besides the usual state of affairs on sustainable...

AMAGER BAKKE OPENING
08.10.2019This waste-to-energy plant forms a thrilling new landmark and tour destination in Copenhagen. The BIG project is the result of an intersting marriage between infrastrucure and leisure. It is namely possible to ski on this hill and to hike up along the landscape park, especially designed by SLA for these rough conditions.
CITYRINGEN
29.09.2019The metro is a modern way of transport, which has changed the city of Copenhagen since its opening. With its seventeen new stations the Metro will tie the city even closer together. The stations have a different design, but maintain one same ambition. They aim to get as much daylight in as possible (hence the triangular skylights). In the meantime the construction works on the fourth Metroline continue.
WSP | SE
21.09.2019After enjoying the kick-off lecture "Copenhagen CO2 neutral by 2025" by Bo Christiansen on Friday, the 120 WSP co-workers were ready to see the stories come to life.

The third group, focusing on energy, went all around Copenhagen visiting a cooling plant, windmills and Copenhill to eventually end up in their own hotel,...
