FORFATTERHUSET KINDERGARTEN
08.10.2014This 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
25.09.2014Pro: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!
AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF BEIRUT, LEBANON
16.09.2014Visits 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
15.09.2014Crebeton 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.
We look forward to next years revisit!
NORDHAVN IN COPENHAGEN OFFICIALLY OPENS
01.09.2014How 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.
FSP OF FREIBURG
04.08.2014While 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!
STO GROUP, GERMANY
14.07.2014One 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...
WeiterlesenMKB – MALMOE MUNICIPAL HOUSING COOPERATION
19.06.2014I took the leader group MKB for an office visit to COBE (Copenhagen / Berlin) – the amazing thing about this young office is that they are hardly 10 years old, have 60 PAX working for them in Copenhagen (and several more in Berlin) doing large scale planning commissions in and around the region.
YES! FINNISH STYLE SAUNA WITH WOOD FIRED OWEN!
14.06.2014After 7 years of owning a great farmhouse in southern Sweden we finally succeeded in building our own Finnish style sauna with wood fired oven – I can't wait for Fall to set in!
Please note a delicate detail – as a long term lover and visitor of Helsinki, Finland, I have already for several years been the happy owner of the classic sauna stool by Antti Nurmesniemi.
