Splendid photographs of Superkilen urban space in #Copenhagen documented by Piotr Bratosiewicz. Designed by BIG in collaboration with Topotek 1, and Superflex, the Superkilen is a half a mile long urban space wedging through one of the most ethnically diverse and socially challenged neighborhoods in Denmark. It has one overarching idea that it is conceived as a giant exhibition of urban best practice – a sort of collection of global found objects that come from 60 different nationalities of the people inhabiting the area surrounding it. #bjarkeingels #bjarkeingelsgroup #park #urbanspace #publicspace #parkdesign #urbanspaces #publicspaces #lines #wavy #urbanarchitecture #urbanism #urbandesign #construction #architecturestudents #digitaldesign #design #designer #parametric #grasshopper3d #rhinoceros3d #parametricarchitecture #parametricdesign #3dmodeling #architecture #architect #computationaldesign #computation #computational (at Copenhagen, Dennmark) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGxbMo2hYTk/?igshid=zsv6vagsxlch

CopenHill, Copenhagen, denmark,

The Danish capital, pledges to become the world’s first carbon-neutral city by 2025, and with the much anticipated CopenHill having opened up, we can see the city hurtling towards its goal. 

CopenHill is an intriguing mesh of a waste-to-energy power plant, a ski slope, hiking and running trail, and a section of lush greenery right in the middle of bustling Copenhagen.

A 1480-foot artificial slope, which is quite interestingly green in color, is a major attraction. Ski lifts and a glass elevator provide access to it. The slope has different levels of difficulty, for the diverse leagues of skiers.

Home to 7000 bushes, 300 pine and willows trees, plus other varieties of nature, CopenHill bears a beautiful connection to nature.

Beneath the slopes, whirring furnaces, steam, and turbines convert 440,000 tons of waste annually into enough clean energy to deliver electricity and district heating for 150,000 homes.

Measuring at 278 feet, CopenHill also showcases the world’s tallest climbing wall, plus a cross-fit area and trail for hiking and running. There’s a rooftop bar you can hit for some drinks and food!

These gigantic towers designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) are planned for Williamsburg's waterfront just north of the Domino Sugar Factory development. At 600 and 650 feet tall, these two towers will house a thousand units of housing surrounded by six acres of public space with a park and beach. Previously home to Con Ed, the site runs along the East River just north of the Williamsburg Bridge between North 1st and North 3rd Streets. The developer, Two Trees, is requesting a rezoning and will likely include a YMCA, community-oriented retail, office space, and 250 units of affordable housing. The developer recently purchased the 3.5-acre site from Con Edison for $350 million. Jutting out into the East River, two jetties will offer nature trails while protecting the cove and beach encircled by a pier. The park entrance will be strategically located at the foot of Metropolitan Avenue, which will be anchored by the two towers allowing for an extended view plane down Metropolitan. The park would also unify Grand Ferry Park with North Fifth Park. BIG, who is also leading the BIG U/East Side Coastal Resiliency Project, and has submitted an exiting plan for the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, has also incorporated resiliency and flood mitigation elements into the project, including wetlands, berms, and marshes that help absorb flooding during storm surges. The beach, community boating, and outdoor "tidal classroom" featured in the proposal are a step in the right direction for Williamsburg's waterfront, which has been overburdened with new luxury residential towers over the past decade. While it features two 600+ foot residential towers, the project seeks to give the waterfront back to the public, something we at NYC Urbanism advocate for.

For much of the industrial age, factory roofs with sawtooth clerestories brought steady north daylight into spaces where workers toiled at assembly lines and production tables. For today’s office workers, flipped this model on its side, wrapping the facades of the Shenzhen International Energy Mansion with a zigzagging curtain wall made of alternating panels of glass and powder-coated (PVDF) aluminum. Like its industrial predecessor, the 21st-century wall system blocks a great deal of direct sunlight, reducing solar loads by 30 percent, according to the architects. BIG then took the concept one step further, pulling on the vertical folds in certain places, so they form supple curves that animate the elevations in surprising ways.
