Continuing Danish Architecture Week - yes I gave it a theme name - I wanted to share the newest project by 3XN: The BLUE PLANET, located in Copenhagen, at the island of Amager. “We wanted to stage a totality of the experience one has visiting an aquarium. The starting point was this magnificent experience of actually watching fish in their element. We wanted to create that adventurous feeling, and we took inspiration in the natural phenomenon of the whirlpool or maelstrom drawing you into the deep. A sculpture at the coast it unites the natural elements of water, air and earth.” You can check it out on their website, 3XN.dk. |

What is Danish architecture
What is Danish architecture compared to European or Scandinavian architecture? What characterizes architecture that is Danish(besides its Danish origin)? On a sidenote, Coppenhagen is supposedly the nicest city where the most happiest people live.
What I have gathered from
What I have gathered from observing danish architecture - I had originally only referred it as danish bc of its origin - is that its playful yet very straightforward design, with simple (not basic) design concepts such as shifting volumes or stacking boxes or folding planes, for example. Things that you might have learned during the first year or two of undergrad.
When I look at a lot of projects by BIG, for example, it brings me back to the cube and thinking of architecture in the simplest manner.
But maybe I'm not making any sense at all.
