Copenhagen has been selected as the World Capital of Architecture for 2023 by @Unesco and @uia2023cph 🌟⁠ ⁠ In celebration of this honor, we have unveiled the exhibition "Copenhagen in Common," which sheds light on our unique architecture and how it fosters a sense of community within the city. ⁠ Here, we present the stunning Royal Danish Playhouse, inaugurated in 2008. This cubist building was designed by Danish architects Boje Lundgaard and Lene Tranberg. ⁠ ⁠ The Royal Danish Playhouse is a part of the "Copenhagen in Common" exhibition. Drop by and discover the story behind this architectural gem ❤️⁠ ⁠ 📸 @dennisphotodk⁠

Skt. Kjelds Plads is wild on purpose!⁠ ⁠ Some might say that the term “urban nature” is an oxymoron. Whereas nature is wild, the city is planned and controlled. Nonetheless, urban nature is now an everyday concept in the climate adaptation and green solutions undertaken by big cities like Copenhagen. One of the strongest proponents of this new type of urban nature is @sla_architects, the architects behind one of Copenhagen’s newest urban spaces at Skt. Kjelds Plads.⁠ ⁠ Here 9000 sqm of asphalt has been replaced with 586 new trees, 3,000 sqm of perennials, 500 sqm of wild grass, and 30,000 snowdrops. A new form of natural climate adaptation has arrived in Copenhagen. ⁠ ⁠ Get the whole story in our new exhibition "Copenhagen in Common". Hit the link in bio for more info ❤️⁠ ⁠ 📸 Mikkel Eye, SLA

Have you had your first dip of the year? 💦 Summer is here, and that means the vibrant spirit of the city's waterfront comes alive. Copenhagen is a harbor city par excellence. The harbor has played a pivotal role in the city's development, benefiting its residents in many ways over the past few decades. Copenhagen Harbor stretches across 42 km of waterfront—42 kilometers of cultural institutions, cafes, bike paths, and inviting swimming spots. 📸 @copenhagenbycosedis

The Central Bank of Denmark is, in many ways, Arne Jacobsen’s crowning achievement. During ‘Open House’, you can take a look behind the facade and experience his magnificent design yourself! ⁠ ⁠ It has been known for its toned-glass facades and grey marble. In the lobby, the marble from the exterior continues as a key element, cladding both walls and floors all the way up to the ceiling of the six-story-high space ❤️ ⁠ ⁠ 📸 Julian Castaneda Photography / Nationalbanken

An unnoticed time capsule! ⁠ ⁠ Kaj Gottlob was both the engineer and architect behind the Langebro Bridge, which was completed in 1954. The new Langebro Bridge, designed as a bascule bridge, replaced the old wooden bridge from the 1600s, opening up the busy industrial harbour to ship traffic, controlled from the tower 🗼⁠ ⁠ 📸 Thijs Kennis
