This book reveals Copenhagen's quality of life using the example of built spaces. It leads its readers on a tour of exploration, visiting exciting architecture projects and surprising districts between Ørestadt and Nordhavn. A total of over 25 exceptional buildings, urban squares and public spaces created in the past 10 years are presented. Documented with brilliant photos, general plans and texts, these projects paint an image of a brave generation of architects and planners who are not afraid to employ novel solutions. On display are daring typologies such as Amager Bakke, a ski slope on a waste incineration plant by BIG, spectacular iconic buildings, including the Royal Danish Aquarium by 3XN or popular public spaces for the urban community.

Product Description Building material with future potential\nThanks to high-performance composite structures made of 
wood and steel or concrete, wooden buildings are now being erected far 
beyond the high-rise boundaries. An end to the increase in altitude is 
hardly in sight. Wooden constructions are also on the uptrend in 
residential and office construction, sports halls, industrial buildings 
and bridges. They are the epitome of sustainable building and, thanks to 
 new prefabrication processes, are also competitive in terms of 
construction costs. The book shows the current development of structural 
 planning with wood on the basis of around 20 outstanding engineering 
structures. The engineers involved in the planning describe the 
conception of the supporting structures as well as individual solutions 
for their implementation.
