Dome of Visions / Kristoffer Tejlgaard + Benny Jepsen

The Dome's fascinating and soap bubble like look makes it an real eye-catcher, drawing both tourists and Danes from its location in the Copenhagen harbor, squeezed in between the world renowned restaurant Noma and Danish architect Nicolai Eigtved's old warehouse. It's spectacular shape brings out the contrast with the rest of the rectangular urban landscape and its delicate skeleton and glasslike facade almost makes it soar. Those who enter inside, are embraced with the warmth of a calm summer day, the smell from countless rosemary bushes, busy bumblebees and a 100 year old olive tree snuggling, sheltered from the spring-fresh wind outside.

Roskilde Dome 2012 / Kristoffer Tejlgaard

A geodesic dome, like the one put up by Kristoffer Tejlgaard and Benny Jepsen at the Danish music festival, Roskilde Festival in 2012, is a construction that optimises the use of resources to a high degree, by imitating natures own methods. The molecular structure found in one given family of carbon molecules, is copied when constructing geodesic domes. This structure allows for great strength and stability, construction of large-sized spaces using a minimum of building materials as well as reduced energy consumption used for heating because of the minimal surface and aerodynamic form of the dome. The geodesic method of building, is a method as fundamental as the rectangular method we mainly use today, hence the two methods ought to be considered of equal standing.

CONSTEXT: BL, Denmark Public Housing participated in this year's Peoples Meeting on Bornholm, in order to generate debate on the future of housing. According to BL a standard exhibition tent would not do justice to a debate of such importance. Instead they wanted a space that stuck out, inspired and invited inside. In addition to creating the physical space for this debate, it was important for us that the space also became an independent contribution.
