Kronløb Island is a newly constructed island located in Copenhagen's recently developed district; Nordhavn. Danish firm Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects has led a team comprised of COBE, Sted, and Rambøll in the design of a brand-new island in Copenhagen's harbour.

Opera Park / Cobe

Paula Pintos — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 07:00:00 +0000

A romantic garden addressing today’s challenges. In 2019, following a design competition, The A.P. Møller Foundation appointed the Danish architecture studio Cobe to design a new park at a former industrial island in Copenhagen’s inner harbor. Located next to The Royal Danish Opera, the site had been a modest green lawn since the completion of the Opera nearly 20 years ago. Utterly transformed today, the island which was otherwise prime for developing new housing, is now home to a diverse and natural landscape. Named The Opera Park, this new public harbor-front park creates a green counterpoint to Copenhagen's otherwise densely built inner harbor.

In southern Sweden, the future of atomic science is under construction. ESS is a state-of-the-art multi-disciplinary research facility that will be open to scientists from all over the world. Almost like a giant microscope, ESS will allow scientists to look deep inside objects to see where the atoms are and what they are doing: A powerful ion source will beam protons the laboratory’s 600-meter main corridor at 96 percent of the speed of light, smashing loose neutrons as they collide with a solid tungsten target disc.

Roskilde Festival Folk High School / MVRDV + Cobe

Paula Pintos — Mon, 25 Feb 2019 07:00:00 +0000

The Roskilde Festival Folk High School is closely linked to the world-famous Roskilde Music Festival, which every year temporarily turns this small town on the outskirts of Copenhagen into the fourth- largest city in Denmark. The school is an example of the Danish system of folk high schools, which deliver a “non-formal adult education” following the concept of “lifelong learning”. This system is based on the ideas of 19th-century Danish intellectual N.F.S. Grundtvig, who believed schools should educate their students to be active participants in society. Courses at Roskilde Festival High School last between 4–10 months, with students and teachers living together at the school to achieve total immersion in their education. The Roskilde Festival High School is the first purpose-built school of this type in Denmark in 50 years and aims to further the values of the Roskilde Festival through courses in music, media, leadership, politics, art, architecture, and design.
