Scaledenmark proudly introduces its second instagram page: @exploringcopenhagen_ !

The account is closely linked to the book and is built up in the same way: 12 months, 12 neighbourhoods. Every month we will provide you with Copenhagen's best practice solutions of that particular neighbourhood, the design tools employed and select quotes from the book. In this way we provide a new platform for a continuous debate and we invite you to join! Whether you are a tourist, student, designer...

This year’s meeting in Scotland was a great success, thanks to the tremendous efforts of our colleagues! We had some great exchange of experience, workshops, lectures and of course an amazing tour through the city of Glasgow. We are so excited to include four new members into the network: Warsaw, Sao Paolo, Bregenz and London!

Nine Suisse architects from Atelier M2 faced the Copenhagen winter with us and went around several projects in Ørestad, such as Tietgen Student housing and the Mountain dwellings. They ended up biking along the harbor, where they explored the public buildings that revived the inner city, amongst others our own home base BLOX. We had many interesting discussions on the strong design culture in...

If one wanted to get an idea of what sustainable architecture and urban planning is in Denmark, then it was for once a better idea to spend two days inside. Instead of moving through Copenhagen looking at thought-provoking case-studies Scaledenmark changed its learning ground to the Building Green convention at Forum in Frederiksberg. The focus, besides the usual state of affairs on sustainable...

The two day tour for Carlstedt ark. (64 PAX) was kicked off by a private boat tour along Copenhagen’s canal. In the afternoon we walked the harbor circle in groups. The second day started at our own Bloxhub, where Bo gave the lecture Copenhagen as eco-metropole, and finished in Ørestad.

The metro is a modern way of transport, which has changed the city of Copenhagen since its opening. With its seventeen new stations the Metro will tie the city even closer together. The stations have a different design, but maintain one same ambition. They aim to get as much daylight in as possible (hence the triangular skylights). In the meantime the construction works on the fourth Metroline continue.

The Swedish office Archus brought 50 architects and landscape architects to Copenhagen to enjoy an extended biketour around the city. They split up in three groups so each group could focus on their designated topic: housing and schools, offices and trade or landscape. Coming from the triangle Stockholm – Uppsala – Västerås they brought very diverging examples of architecture and city-making....

During this two day session the 34 Swiss students from the Bildungsdepartement Gewerbliches Berufs- und Weiterbildungszentrum St. Gallen had the opportunity to fully explore both sides of the Sound. They started off in Copenhagen, discovering the new citydistricts Nordhavn and Sydhavn at the harbor, and changed ground the second day to Malmö, where they could compare their experiences with the Swedish answer to ecological city building, namely BO01. A visit to Malmoe Kunsthal topped off the...
