Sustainability is a key aspect here, reducing energy consumption significantly with solar cells and cooling with seawater. Photographer Wonderful Copenhagen Konditaget Lüders On a rooftop, you’ll find a unique recreational space with trampolines, swings, and a 60-meter track on top of a multi-story car park. An architectural stroke of genius, providing locals with an open-air public gym with a view of the Øresund strait. Photographer Jonas Kongstad Århusgade – and the surrounding area Århusgade and the surrounding area is a green laboratory with its low-energy housing using both geothermal energy and seawater cooling systems. Nordhavn is one of Scandinavia’s largest sustainable urban developments. Photographer Signe Nors Copenhagen International School Copenhagen International School combines sustainability and architecture in an exciting manner, the buildings resembling stacks of shipping containers. Solar cells in shades of blue and green account for more than half of the school’s energy consumption. Photographer Jonas Kongstad Svanemølleværket Ride along the harbour towards Svanemølleværket, an iconic power plant from 1953. On the opposite side of the harbour, you will find Danish architect Jørn Utzon's Paustian House and two old coal cranes, one of which is now transformed into a hotel room. Photographer Büro Jantzen Svanemøllestranden On a hot summer day, the highly popular beach, Svanemøllestranden, established in 2010, is packed with Copenhageners trying to escape the heat. A long pier with an equally long bench extends into the Sound, providing great diving opportunities. Photographer Jonas Kongstad Det Vilde Hus Det Vilde Hus, or The Wild House, is a sculptural manifestation of local passion and creativity. In collaboration with Thomas Dambo, a Copehagen-based recycle art activist known for his wooden giants, the house was built in just five days by volunteers. Photographer Jonas Kongstad Courtyards of the future - Askøgade Sneak into one of the courtyards of the future on Askøgade. Explore how a courtyard can be designed to manage cloudburst and how large amounts of rain can be utilised for recreational purposes such as watering and play. Photographer Giuseppe Liverino ØsterGro On Æbeløgade, spinach and cabbage grow into the sky. ØsterGRO is Denmark's first rooftop farm, supplying Copenhageners with organic ingredients grown locally by staff and volunteers. The rooftop farm also has bees, chickens, and rabbits. Photographer Signe Nors Klimakvarter Skt. Kjelds Plads og Tåsinge Plads Klimakvarter is Copenhagen’s first climate resilient neighbourhood with urban spaces like Tåsinge Plads and Skt. Kjelds Plads that combine rainwater management and ‘wild’ nature into a green oasis, which is referred to as ‘the rainforest’. Photographer Jonas Kongstad Østre Gasværk You find one of Copenhagen's most impressive theatres, Østre Gasværk, inside an old gas plant. The building was designed by Martin Nyrop, the architect of Copenhagen City Hall, and immortalised by Kim Larsen (1945-2018), who made a song about the theatre.
