The new viewing tower and landmark on the harbour of Aarhus Ø, The Salling Tower, is shaped as a dramatic urban sculpture with a significant architectural expression. The white body of steel is a luminous and distinctive focal point and meeting place. Visitors will be led on a course full of experiences that start at the quayside and go to the upper platform 7.5 meters above quay-level. The route through the tower leads under an inclined surface and up to the first viewing plateau that hovers above the water. From here, the visitor is led upwards by a broad staircase which serves a lookout to panoramic views of the harbour and bay. Finally, the covered upper plateau provides a 360 degree overlook of the city and the harbour.

The Campus at Aarhus University is renowned for the superb architectural heritage. Erected in the 1930s, the architecture of the University is modern and anti-monumental, as an organic interpretation of the open campus in the center of a city. It provides distinctive and solid evidence of how a major structure in an urban context can develop with beauty and with soul over a period of more than 70 years. Cubo has continued this tradition in the recent additions to the campus and the designs of the new faculties in this listed context was and still is challenging and commanding.
