At least they should've gone the whole way, as that project in the Stockholm-thread. 850 meters, they suggested!

You obviously lack local knowledge, 50 m in Hillerød is more wild than 850 m in Stockholm.

DONG Energy part ll has also just been inaugurated in Gentofte to the giant total of 57,200 sqm. Unfortunately it has been designed low for long flat walking distances instead of going up in air..

In spite of stories in local media, it now turns out that this was not an April's ool story after all. I still want to see it rise before I believe it will happen though.

Round seems to be the new black (cf. the new Copenhagen Plant Science Centre). Henning Larsen Architects/Friis & Moltke has won the extension of Herlev Hospital with this project:

Vinderen af udbygningen af Herlev Hospital blev Konsortiet Henning Larsen Architects, Friis & Moltke, Orbicon | Leif Hansen, Norconsult (N), NNE Pharmaplan, Brunsgaard & Laursen og SLA.

Fremtidens Herlev Hospital
I 2010 udskrev Region Hovedstaden en indbudt projektkonkurrence om udbygning og modernisering af Herlev Hospital, hvor fem konsortier skulle give deres bud på, hvordan fremtidens hospital skal se ud.

Rammerne for det nye hospitalsbyggeri skal understøtte det sammenhængende patientforløb, hvor patienten, i alle faser, modtager behandling af højeste kvalitet. Det realiseres blandt andet ved at bygge et nyt kvinde/barn-center og en ny stor, fælles akutmodtagelse.

I nærværende konkurrence har de fem konsortier givet deres bud på den komplekse opgave, det er at udvide Herlev hospital, og der er under bedømmelsen konstateret stor variation af forslagene. Konkurrence-deltagernes evne til at skabe arkitektur og syntese har i konkurrencen været sat yderligere på prøve af den store udfordring, det er at skulle udbygge og tilføje nye bygninger til et verdenskendt hovedværk i dansk arkitektur.

Alt andet end firkantet
De indleverede forslag har taget udgangspunkt i visionen om, at de fysiske rammer, integration af kunst og behandling af uderum skal skabe en samlet oplevelse for patienter, pårørende og personale. Mennesket skal være i centrum, og patienternes behov for tryghed og nærvær skal tilgodeses.

Vinderforslaget er ifølge dommerkomiteen det forslag, der er mest tro mod programmets vision om at skabe et patientvenligt hospital. Både i helhedsplanen og i det arkitektoniske, bygningsmæssige koncept formår forslaget på ambitiøs vis at skabe den nye identitet, som både udfordrer og forstærker oplevelsen af det eksisterende Herlev Hospital og dets omgivelser. Efter en lang og grundig bedømmelsesperiode nåede dommerkomiteen frem til en enig afgørelse, som redefinerer, at hospitalsbyggeri kan være alt andet end firkantet.

Akademisk Arkitektforening har været konkurrencerådgiver gennem hele forløbet.

You keep on coming with some good posts for the moment Ramblersen


Round yes - but flat, i actually was hoping that Herlev Hospital would have continued the extension in the higher scale, they could have "rounded up" and not extended in 4-5 storeys. It's like architecture these years in Denmark got to be lower than it used to be, maybe cause the public sector has to show low profile due all the cutting downs in the moment ?

DTU in Lyngby has announced a competition for an extension of 20 - 30,000 m2 new construction and renovation of the existing buildings at the Lyngby campus.

That will be another flat extension for you. There has been quite a lot of local debate about it because people feared it would be visible from Dyrehaven. ( the Eremitage Lodge). But now it has been guaranteed that it won't be.

Acrophobia: is an extreme or irrational fear of heights. It belongs to a category of specific phobias, called space and motion discomfort that share both similar etiology and options for treatment.

This is great, I like to see this location "denzified". And it looks pretty okay to me the renders.

Growing København.
The local politicians in the northern part of Hovedstads-regionen will increase investments in infra-structure, roads and housings, and extend the Fingerplan.

København skal vokse mod nord

Af Nils-Ole Heggland
Fredag den 13. maj 2011, 13:56

Går det, som flere lokalpolitikere ønsker, skal storbyen vokse mod nord - med masser af veje, baner og byggeri.


Flere lokalpolitikere foreslår nu, at hovedstaden breder sig længere mod nord, end de hidtidige planer lægger op til, skriver Frederiksborg Amts Avis.

Det kan udløse massivt byggeri af motorvej, bane og mere by.

Konkret lyder forslaget, at den såkaldte Fingerplan fra tiden efter Anden Verdenskrig bliver udvidet, så fingeren mod Hillerød nordvest for København får lov at vokse videre. De øvrige "fingre" med byudvikling har forlængst nået Køge, Roskilde, Frederikssund og Helsingør.

- Vi ønsker med tiden S-tog til Helsinge, og vi ønsker Hillerødmotorvejen forlænget - i første omgang fra Allerød til Hillerød, men senere helt til Helsinge, siger borgmester Jan Ferdinandsen (K) fra Gribskov - en kommune som døjer med faldende børnetal og færre erhvervsaktive.

Han fremlagde kommunens ønsker på et nyligt møde mellem miljøminister Karen Ellemann (V) og borgmestre i Nordsjælland.

Fra Region Hovedstaden er lignende forslag undervejs.

- Vi ønsker Hillerød-fingeren forlænget både til Gilleleje og Frederiksværk af hensyn til trafiksikkerheden og for at skabe mulighed for at få virksomheder til at etablere sig i udkanten af fingrene. Selv om det har lange udsigter, så skal der gives plads i planen til, at S-togene med tiden kan forlænges til Helsinge, siger regionsmedlem Peter Kay Mortensen (S) til den nordsjællandske regionalavis.

Regionsrådets udvalg for regionaludvikling og trafik er ved at lægge sidste hånd på et høringssvar til "Fingerplan 2007" - den mundrette betegnelse for "Landsplandirektiv for hovedstadsområdets planlægning," som hører under Miljøministeriet.

There is the same plan in the southen part of Copenhagen.
Køge kommune wants to expand the fingerplan to Herfølge, which also contains extension of the s-train from Køge to Herfølge.

They will also expand the roskilde Finger to Borup.

In both cities, there are large areas at around the stations which could be exploited for urban development, if it came under the finger plan.

The old listed farm Favrholm at Roskildevej south of Hillerød has been expanded and converted into a small conference centre for Novo Nordisk by Dutch architectural practice SeARCH and Danish practice JJW:

Favreholm looks fabulous,

which we hardly can call Ishøj Stationsplads/Rådhusplads, but KPC Byg and the municipality are doing an effort to improve it. A lot is going on there as you can see from a clip on the local TV.

So small it is hardly worth mentioning but Rungstedgaard is currently being refurbished and expanded to the design of Lundgaard & Tranberg. It is a former manor house located next to Karen Blixen's Rungsted, which now serves as ahotel and conference venue. Completion later this summer - a bit delayed after the main contractor's bankrupcy.

Four teams are ledt in the competition for a new city centre in Høje Taastrup which is to connect City 2 to the station.


1. Cebra og Transform
2. Entasis
3. Cobe
4. Henning Larsen, Polyform og Dress & Sommer

They seem to be on the right track:

Bæredygtigt byrum


Høje-Taastrup by omkring stationen blev aldrig det aktive byrum, som planlæggerne havde håbet på i slutningen af 70’erne. Derfor skal der nu bygges højere, tættere og mere varieret.
