Speaking about architecture...

Last night i was surfing the interwebs and thought about one of the greatest Danish architects at the moment, Bjarke Ingels.




















This picture has been extracted directly from their home page http://www.big.dk/. If you click the turquoise tab at 2011, you will find one of their upcomming projects (all the tabs are projects).
The "Amagerforbrændingen" remake project is ideal for Denmark. Reason is that you can only skii very few places i Denmark like in a desolate place called Hedeland.
Bjarke Ingels is very proud of his slogan "Think outside the box" - thinking outside the box is not bad at all, although you need to keep your feet on the ground.

The design Bjarke Ingels Group has done with Amagerforbrændingen has really hit a spot in my heart i must say, using a barren factory-like building and constructing a ski run on top of it is really clever Mr. Ingells. This building will be a man-made mountain in the middle of Copenhagen, Denmark.
