Text description provided by the architects. In many years the attention has been aimed at the site adjacent, where Kronborg Castle and cultural tour de forces exert their magnetic pull on both tourists and local citizens of Elsinore – but now Elsinore’s old shipbuilding yard has been transformed into a 17.000m2 cultural and knowledge centre, including concert halls, showrooms, conference rooms and a public library. The Culture Yard symbolizes Elsinore’s transformation from an industrial town to a cultural centre. In this way, the yard is designed as a hinge between the past and present, reinforcing the identity of the local community, but at the same time expressing an international attitude, reinforcing the relation between the local and global community.
