the question is: can architecturechange the world? Maria louis wasone of a dozen handpicked journalistsinvited to witness firsthand whycopenhagen is ranked aMong the topthree Most livable cities in the world

My rst glimpse of Copenhagen

is a carpet of green patterned with

grey strips of crisscrossing runways an

apt beginning to an architectural tour

that seeks to prove that this is indeed

one of the most sustainable cities in the

world. Copenhagen has a long tradition

of creating spaces to improve urban life.

From bicycle lanes to parks and squares,

innovative housing developments and

a port clean enough for swimming, this

city has seen a spectacular development

during the last 15 years. Backed by an

insightful Government, Danish architects

have combined the rationality of classical

functionalism with a practical pursuit of

solutions that make modern city life active,

healthy, inspiring and fun.

Proud of the fact that this port citys

modern architecture has played a

major role in the improvement of living

conditions, Danske Ark (the Danish

association of architects) sought to share

with the world how architecture can

contribute to a better life by building

better cities cities where the human

scale in city planning is well-looked-

after. This they did by inviting journalists

from countries such as Norway, Finland,

Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands,

Switzerland, the UK, the USA, Canada,

Russia, Brazil and, of course, India for a

rst-hand experience. We stayed at the

First Hotel Skt Petri, one of Copenhagens

leading design hotels located in the heart

of the Latin Quarter and its downtown

boutique shopping area. (Read about the

rebuild of this former department store in

our Fitted Out section).

As expected from a city ranked among

the top three most livable cities in the

world by international surveys, the

architectural tour of Copenhagen was

indeed an eye-opener.

We began with a visit to the

Municipality of Copenhagen, located

in a historic building, and were given

an introduction to the urban policy in

Copenhagen. Then we cycled to the

Danish Architecture Centre (DAC), where

managing director Kent Martinussen

elaborated on the activities of the DAC and

conducted a tour of the exhibition running

at the centre. After lunch, we were taken

on a guided boat tour of the new harbour

developments with an introduction by

Rita Justesen, Head of Planning, CPH City

and Port Development. Here are some

constructive highlights

The Crystal & Cloud by Schmidt

Hammer Lassen Architects: The

extension to Nykredit consists of a new

building, the Crystal, sited northwest of the

existing Nykredit premises. Freestanding

on the site, it reads as a transparent,

glazed, geometrical form, which, resting

on a single point and line, oats as a

visually light, crystalline structure above

the plaza a crystal. Designed to interact

with their surroundings, the projects offer

a subtle connection between the formal

architecture of the Glyptotek Museum of

Art and the waterfront area which forms

the setting for the new building.

Hellerup and checked out the new

buildings coming up there.

When Carlsberg Brewery moved

production from Hellerup north of

Copenhagen, it was an opportunity to

develop a new part of Copenhagen with

harbours and canals, yacht clubs, housing

and offices right on the edge of resund.

A competition was arranged by Carlsberg

and the Municipality of Gentofte, which

involved a totally new neighbourhood with

the possibility for 210,000m of buildingsdistributed between housing, business,

state school and other public functions.

Dissing + Weitling presented the firms

work in this area.

The new neighbourhood has a maritime

character with a canal, garden elements

and a view over the Sound. Thefirm 3XN

made a presentation of two head offices

Horten Law Offices and Saxo Bank. Both

buildings are designed according to the

district plan which prescribed traditional

waterfront structures.

During our dinner at Restaurant KDY

(the Royal Danish Yacht Club) placed

as the central element with a fantastic

view over the entire harbour, the canal

and resund, Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects

took the floor. The club houses main

architectural characteristic is the large

folding roof that closes the building off

towards the housing area in the south, but

opens out towards the harbour and the

beautiful view of Oresund.

The next morning, we boarded a

bus to Amager and restad. The new

neighbourhoods that restad consists

of are the product of an international

competition. The four neighborhoods

eight islands is scheduled for completion

by the end of 2010.

Bryggebroen (Quay Bridge) by

Dissing+Weitling: The bridge stretches

in a light arc from Havneholmen to

Islandsbrygge, creating a desirable shortcut

for pedestrians and cyclists between two

of the most recently developed harbour

fronts of central Copenhagen. With its

artistic installation of locks inscribed with

the names of lovers who have thrown

the key into the water below (see our BigPicture section), its poised to become a city

attraction like the Trevi Fontaine in Rome.

Havneholmen by Lundgaard &

Tranberg Architects: This is one of

the well-situated dwelling projects in

Copenhagen. Its waterfront location

provides a fine view of the busy harbour

entrance, small docks, canals and the

centre of the city. The housing units have

been given optimal alignment in relation

to the sun. The buildings are positioned

in a fan shape to ensure that all units are

facing the water and all living-rooms are

facing south-west.

Harbou r Bath by JDS Architects:

Life changed in the city of Copenhagen

when the first harbour baths opened in

the summer of 2002 on Islands Brygge.

The water in the Fairway was pronounced

clean after it had been a shipping artery

for many years. The people of Copenhagen

got a welcome opportunity to jump into

the water and still enjoy a view of the citys

towers. The facility soon became a symbol

of the new life that has sprung up along

the waterfront.

On the evening of our first day in

Copenhagen, we visited Tuborg North,

consist of restad North, Amager Flled,restad City and restad South. The

development of restad North and

restad City are the two neighbourhoods

closest to completion. The development

of restad South has begun only recently.

restad is expected to be completed by

2025. During the sightseeing, there was an

introduction to the master plan of restad

by Rita Justesen, Head of Planning

CPH City and Port Development, and a

presentation of the most sustainable and

best new buildings in restaden.

Crystal Sports and cultural

centre in Holmbladsgade by Dorte

Mandrup Architects: The most

pronounced feature is a large translucent

membrane that stretches between the

sports and culture centre arena, and

the four characteristic end walls of the

neighbouring public housing scheme.

The IT University in restad by

Henning Larsen Architects is arranged

around a large central atrium. In the atrium

space, a number of group and meeting

rooms, designed as corbelled boxes, are

placed in a dynamic composition

of this building, completed in 2006,are organized with 360 residence units

along the perimeter and the communalfunctions are oriented toward the innercourtyard. Facilities that are commonto the entire dormitory are grouped atground level.

restad College by 3XN: Theaward-winning restad College (upper

secondary school) is characterised byits open townscape layout offeringplazas and variety in scale rather thantraditional corridors or classrooms.Its design focuses on diversity,

student interaction, social spaces, andopportunities to learn from each other inorder to obtain a high degree of socialsustainability.

apartments are placed at the top, whilethe commercial programme unfolds atthe base of the building. The apartmentsbenet from sunlight, fresh air and the

view, while the ofce leases merges with

life on the street.

After lunch at the town hall ofFredriksberg, where we were welcomedby the mayor Jrgen Glenthj, the chiefcity architect, Ejvind Rostgaard, madea presentation of the green initiatives ofthis city within the city of Copenhagen.This was followed by a walking tour. Thenew campus area around the library,

the cinema, the shopping centre and theeducational institutions at the CopenhagenBusiness School provide Frederiksbergwith a new centre for city life. During thesightseeing, there was a presentation of

the most sustainable and the best newbuildings in the district.

The Royal Porcelain FactorybyJuul | Frost. When production closed

down, it became possible to create newactivities in the old factory buildings.Today, it contains homes, ofces and an

institute of education. The Municipality ofFrederiksberg has laid down strict rulesfor the conversion in order to preserve thequalities of the area. Examples of this are

the existing faades of the old buildings,

which are kept as intact as possible.Frederiksberg Gymnasium

by Henning Larsen Architects:Frederiksberg High School draws in thesurrounding urban life, making it a partof its interior dynamics. It is designed tomeet new ideas of student active learning.

Certainly, something is modern in thestate of Denmark. The packed programmewas lled with glimpses of modern

buildings and insights into the lifestyle ofpeople in Denmark sufcient to prove

that Denmark is indeed one of the mostlivable cities in the world.

We also spoke to some of the architects.

Do you think Architecture can

change the world? In what way?

Yes. 40% of the total energy consumptionin Denmark is used in buildings. Thatplaces a large responsibility on architects but also accentuates architecturespotential to actually change the world. Iam engaged in the ways architecture canshape human behaviour and thus havea great inuence on peoples lives. With

the right planning, cities can encouragewalking and cycling at the expense

of cars thereby improving the localenvironment and public health. Buildingscan be designed to promote interactionand communication, they can makepeople meet and talk, and thereby create

new knowledge. These aspects are veryimportant to me and to our architecture.

What have you or your rm done to

make a difference to the world by

way of design?

Behaviour is always our point ofdeparture. We seek to create dynamic

and transparent layouts for people toexplore, work, study, or live in. In addition

to that, we always involve our researchdepartment GXN in order to integrate

the latest materials, technologies anddigital design tools of benet to the

environment, the indoor climate, theoperating economy and the aesthetics.

Have you been successful in your

endeavour/s?

Our focus on behaviour was initiated with

Orestad College. Since its completion in2007, it has served as an inspiration tonumerous school planners, teachers andarchitects all over the world. We are very

happy to see that our visions regardingan open interactive learning cityscapeis successful in practice. We have been

able to develop and integrate many of ourndings from Orestad College in ofce

spaces and cultural buildings. We put

people, not the elevator, in the centre.Our research has also been fruitful. Thespecially developed faade elements

for Horten have been awarded for theircombination of energy conservation,

spectacular aesthetics and innovativecomposite solutions. Most recently, wehave designed and developed a showcasepavilion demonstrating cutting-edgepossibilities with sustainable andintelligent materials. Our idea was toshow that sustainability does not equalarchitectural compromise. And our hope isthat the knowledge we generated throughthe development of the pavilion, includinga specially developed bio composite, canbe used in other applications or industries.

Architecture cannot do it alone, butit certainly can be conductive byrepresenting a sustainable approachto the needs and solutions of society.

It is important to be precise. Is itenvironmental, social or culturalsustainability that must be in focus?How should the interaction between thedifferent kinds of sustainability be? It isvery important to understand and analysethe specic situation, to be able to nd

the right focus in reaching the solutionrelevant for people.



way of design?

We focus especially on cultural and social

sustainability, and let these subjects guide

our priority, as well as the extent andcharacter of environmental sustainability.We work a lot on restoration and

transformation projects, and always focuson how the values from the past can beused to develop existing structures as a

stimulating frame for modern use.

One example is the department store

Daells Varehus, constructed in 1933-35

by the architect Vilhelm Lauritsen on the

corner of Nrregade and Krystalgade (seeour Fitted Out section). The complex drew

its inspiration from modernism and thelatest currents in European architecture.

In the 1950s, the complex alongKrystalgade and Fiolstrde was extended

with a smaller, characteristic version ofthe 30s building. At the end of the 1990s,

Daells Varehus closed. In 1999, it was

taken over by TK Development with a viewto creating a ve-star downtown hotel with

270 rooms and suites for the Norwegianhotel group, Host. The hotels mainentrance, part of which doubles as a caf,is located in Krystalgade with direct accessto a 1,500sqm vestibule, expanded into

the yard atrium a large, covered spacehousing a restaurant, lounge, ballroom andreception. Rooms and suites are spreadover the other oors. The hotel complex is

divided with different facade colourways toreinforce Lauritsens original building andreduce the sense of scale amid the urbanlandscape. The conversion was awarded aprize by the Association for Beautication

of the Capital in 2003.



Architecture has shaped the world andthe way we live on it in the past so wecan assume it will continue to do so. Thereal question should be whether architectscan change the world and in what way.Most of the construction processes in theworld do not include architects, and most

of the architecture that surrounds us hasnot been designed by an architect. Therole and power of the architect is thus verylimited on a global scale, yet relevant inthe collective imagination. It is throughthis imaginary power that architects caninspire and help make changes. As asociety, we have to build architecture thatstimulates interaction and life. We have to

erect fabrics that open a dialogue with the

city and its citizens, that challenge issueswithin society. Our collective effort has toinvestigate solutions, facilitate progressand guide a sustainable way of living.



way of design?

At Dissing+Weitling, our goal is to

create optimal spaces for humanactivity at work, in the home and inthe public sphere. We have a clear and

accommodating approach, characterisedby user-centric solutions that payparticular attention to the physical,cultural and environmental context.

Regardless of scale, each projectdemonstrates a close relationshipbetween technology and design and

we continuously explore the boundariesbetween design, innovation and theenvironment. We seek to incorporate

high-tech, sustainable solutions as anintegrated part of the overall designstrategy right from the rst sketch. Our

team is characterised by a broad rangeof professional proles, interests, ages

and nationalities. Our work environmentis characterised by an informaltone, interdisciplinary discussions,individuality and enthusiasm for each

project. We believe that quality of design

is what might make a difference to theworld, and we hope that is visible andtangible in our work.


endeavour/s?

Over the years, we have built up aprofessional portfolio that includes some

of the worlds most spectacular bridgesand distinctive international businessheadquarters, as well as new residentialareas, historic building renovations, andinterior/product design. We always aim

at combining inspiring, sophisticated yetminimalistic design with effective andelegant solutions, both on a large scale andin detail. Some of the recent examples are

the Rambll headquarters, the Simcorpheadquarters and the Danish BroadcastingMedia House all in Copenhagen. Inaddition, we have designed gracefulbridges of all sizes: from giganticstructures such as the Great Belt Link inDenmark and the Stonecutters Bridge inHong Kong, to some small wonders suchas the gade Footbridge, the Quay Bridge(both in Copenhagen) and the ADNECbridge in Abu Dhabi.

Architecture can change our mood, ourbehaviour and our social responses, theway we perceive our surroundings, andour expectations of the public realm. As

such, good architecture could make a realdifference not as a revolutionary force,but by attempting to change the world

one person at a time.Danish architecture, always associated

with clarity and simplicity, is deeply rootedin the rational, logical and understandableor explicable. Our Danish approach, in

addition, provides us with a democraticbackground: An insistence on challengingthe given conditions, and keeping a central

focus on the users, the people actuallyliving or working in our designs. We see

this non-authoritarian background as anadvantage as it gives us the freedom andfocus to create architecture for everybody,without getting lost in the monumental or

pointlessly technical.Architecture is also a key factor in

creating a sustainable society: Around 40%of our total energy supply is consumed inbuildings so, the architectural professioncan take advantage of the great potential ofcreating buildings which will go on savingenergy year after year, for 50 or 100 years,and using recyclable components. CFMller Architects aims to be at the cuttingedge of design in the environmental area,as the rst major architectural practice

in Denmark to have introduced anenvironmental management system apractice that became certied in 2009

according to the international ISO 14001standard. This certication documents

our active efforts to minimise theenvironmental effects of all the companysprocesses and services and our constantstriving to push the performance of ourbuildings beyond legislative requirements.



way of design?

To name a highly up-to-date example: One

of the areas where this humanistic designapproach can truly make a differenceis the healthcare sector, where currenttrends mean that hospitals in generalare undergoing a transformation: frombeing based on and serving one individualregion, they are fast becoming part of anational and international strategy. Thisleads to large, complex hospital structures

with administrative and operationalrationales requiring a robust, overallstrategy to afford the structure evidence-based values values that reect how

individual patients and members of staffperceive and are inuenced by their

physical surroundings. In other words,architectural process must focus on theimplementation of aspects which inuence

the wellbeing of the user and which

accelerate the patients healing processand ensure a working environment withreduced errors and stress. We call this

concept healing architecture.Since hospitals are buildings with

a particularly high energy demand,they are obvious targets for employingenergy conservation measures andalternative energy sources, as well as othersustainability issues. This also forms anintegral part of our design strategy.


endeavour/s?

We dare to believe so. To give just a

few examplesof recent award-winning

agship projects, from key sectors such as

education and healthcare: The AkerhusUniversity Hospital in Oslo is a result of

the efforts and values described above.Though the building is a highly efcient

large-scale functional entity, it is designed

and perceived as a friendly and informalplace, one that has a signicant positive

inuence on patients. Additionally, the

bulk of the buildings energy consumptionis supplied by an on-site geothermalplant and energy storage system making it a sustainable design. For thesereasons, the project received the highlyprestigious Building Better HealthcareAward as Best International Project in2009. From the education sector, the

new Danish secondary school in northern

Germany, the AP Mller School, has hada signicant impact on the German future

education debate. The building introducesnew values, inspired by recent Danisheducation sector reforms meaningthat the interior is an open learninglandscape in which not only classrooms,but the entire school provides a teachingenvironment for individual work, groupwork and plenary sessions. The interioropenness and organisation promotes

personalised and democratic teaching.



On a small scale, I believe that architecturecan play a part in changing the world forthe better. This said, it is important toacknowledge the fact that architecture andarchitects do not hold a unique positionin this ambitious project. Architectsdont make the world a better place tolive by seeking self-righteousness in theextraordinary. Where they can truly make

a difference is in the social environmentand life-forming sphere. But this role doesnot only belong to architects.



way of design?

Our practice distinguishes itself fromothers by our strong focus on urban spacein everything we do. Many of us have a

background in urban space, and we applythis approach to everything we do be itlarge-scale transformation projects, campusdevelopment or small-scale housingprojects. The result is, we start our housingprojects from the outside-looking-in waythat makes the space between the buildingsthe foundation from which any housingproject is developed. We have been lucky to

have had the opportunity to use strategiesfrom urban space in Better AffordableHousing a project where the social sphereis the gathering structure in an affordablehousing project. The project has a built-in adjustability and the apartments are

assembled as a kind of Lego system wherethe core is a room of approx 90sqm that can

be combined in various ways. This resultsin apartments of different sizes and, asthe apartments display different types of

ownership, the result is a neighbourhoodwith a mixture of inhabitants from different

social backgrounds. In this way, BetterAffordable Housing also can be seen as acontribution to the ght against ghetto-

isation one of the biggest challenges weface as architects and as a society.

Better Affordable Housing is a prize-winning project in a competitionarranged by the Danish Arts Foundation

in collaboration with a subsidiary of DeForenede Ejendomsselskaber, BedreBilligere Boliger. The competitiondemanded that all the entries shouldkeep building costs at a low level. Asa supplement to the cost-optimiseddemands, the participants should relate tothe charter 99 concept that focuses on the

meaning of space in architecture. In thisinstance, space is created by the interplaybetween elements such as the constructionof the buildings, the infrastructure ofthe city, the terrain and the plants of thelandscape. The name is not a coincidence.These three words ow through the

whole process - from the initial idea tothe nished dwellings. The goal was to

combine the lean construction principleswith quality gains through the wholevalue chain. The result is a project wherecost efciency goes hand-in-hand with

innovative solutions and good architecture

creates better affordable housing.



The overall concept which makes thepractice of Schmidt Hammer Lassenstand out is the democratic approach to

designing architecture. Consequently,this means that the practice cultivatesand develops the democratic idea inorder to substantiate modern thinking,lifestyle, culture and behaviour throughthe genesis of architecture. But whatis democratic architecture and howdoes it interact with the surroundings?

A building revolves around people, andis not merely an architectonic shape or astatic creation of form; the architect mustpay particular attention to the intimateconnection between buildings and theircontext. Architecture should always be

closely integrated with its surroundings,with conscious consideration of function,the social context, and the spatial effect

it leaves behind. Hence, the architecturedesigned by our rm essentially reects a

democratic gesture and appears open tothe outside world.



way of design?

We design sustainable solutions that focus

on the environment, the user and theoverall economy. We challenge the concept

of sustainability, because each projectmust reach new standards.

Architecture is about creating abetter framework for human life anddevelopment as well as considering theresources of the planet from a globalsustainable perspective. As architects,

we have both the opportunity and theresponsibility to design a better world.Sustainability must not solely become aquestion of CO2 reduction. We consider

sustainability from a holistic point ofview that considers nancial, cultural,

and social issues as well as environmentalaspirations. Our rm is a member of the

UN initiative Global Compact, a networkof more than 5200 companies and otherstakeholders from over 130 countries who

are dedicated to sustainable developmentand corporate citizenship. The network

was founded in 2000 under the UNleadership of Ko Annan.


endeavour/s?

One example of democratic architecture

is the extension to The Royal Library

in Copenhagen. It marks a radical shiftfrom the traditional library structureand accommodates a range of culturalfacilities. Open and democratic, thebuilding includes scientic and literary

institutions, exhibition rooms, a bookshop,

a caf and a restaurant, as well as a roofterrace and a hall with 600 seats for

concerts, theatrical performances andconferences. Another recent example is the

permanent premises of the InternationalCriminal Court (ICC) in The Hague in theNetherlands. It is important that a formalinstitution like the ICC does not constitutebarriers for people. On the contrary, itmust express the essence of democratic

architecture. The building is designed tobecome an abstract and informal sculpture a backdrop for communicating thevalues of the ICC. A&I
