Copenhagen X

I had a really interesting lecture this week with a lady from Copenhagen X. They are not architects or city planners but a gateway to integrate the community with what is happening in the city. They want to celebrate and present the new developments "open people's eyes to the changes in the city"

I really recommend looking further into their website and blog. http://www.cphx.dk
Below is a small selection of photographs from a tour around the university buildings.
The curved shapes of the foyer reflect the landscape surrounding the building breaking the boundary between internal and external space.
This I.T school was quite a sight. The playful and innovative design made a very comfortable and inspiring environment for study.
If you look closely you can see a small garden inside the building. The glass gives the illusion that the interior is not separate from the exterior.

The most amazing student halls I have ever seen. The circular courtyard, where all communal activities face, creates a sociable and exciting living space.

A few more photos of copenhagen, just in case your interested.
