Biking. Biking. Biking
I have never biked as much or as often as I have in the last three days as I have over the previous year. Copenhagen IS the bike city of the world.
Day 2 of our studio in Copenhagen started off at the Danish Institute of Study Abroad (DIS) where we received a lecture by a feisty Dane. We later took a bicycle tour across 5 different neighborhoods and explore various scales of the Kantzone, the transition between the building and the urban fabric, and its various stages of Private & Public.
We explored waterfront properties in various price ranges, old neighborhood townhomes and reclaimed public spaces.
The tour ended at Carlsberg Brewery, the site of this years studio. We manged to get their in time for our small and quick guided tour of the old brewery site and learn a bit about the history of Carlsberg. The tour ended with free beer at the courtyard.
Copenhagen has been wonderful the last few days. Today we return to the site after a day of biking across the city to explore the new development of Orestad. We stopped by the University of Copenhagen and saw their impressive Tietgenkollegiet, student housing and ended up at the top of the cities development at the 8 House, a housing project designed by BIG.
