Architecture of Copenhagen

Added: June 03, 2009

Our trip to Copenhagen during Early Bank Holiday was planned for about half a year. Price of flight tickets was good and Copenhagen is full of modern architecture, so I could not say 'no' to Zuzka. She even bought little book about modern architecture in Copenhagen and that helped to sell the idea of visiting Copenhagen to me easily :-)

So this post will be about architecture. Old and also modern one.

Now we are getting to photos of buildings we came to see. We wanted to see many of them also from inside, but we usually failed to get in.

I have not seen so many modern buildings in one city before. Based on what we have seen I have to say Danes have courage regarding architecture.

This is interesting building. It has aluminium sun screens which move according to sun so that façade looks always differently. As you can see some windows are shielded, while others are not.

Ørestad gymnasium. We wanted to get in, but it was Saturday evening so it was closed. I did not try to make any photo of nice foyer through glass because I knew it would not do justice.
