Steven Holl Architects have won a competition to design a new harbour entrance in openhagen, Denmark.

The following is from Steven Holl Architects:

"Steven Holl Architects’ design for the dramatic new harbor entrance to the great city of Copenhagen is
based on a concept of two towers carrying two bridges at wo orientations all connecting back to the unique
aspects of the site’s history. The Langenlinie site, a berth for ocean ships for decades, is expressed in the
Langenlinie tower with geometry taken from the site’s shape. A prow-like public deck thrusts out to the
sea horizon. This deck is the level of public entry to the ridge elevators and has public amenities such
as cafes and galleries. It can be eached by a wide public stair as well as escalators. The Marmormolen
tower connects back to the City with a main terrace that thrusts out towards the city horizon shaped by a
public auditorium below. It can also be reached by escalators and is adjacent to the public bridge elevator lobby."
