"BIG's proposal contributes to the city with something useful and beautiful. We see this creating a lot of opportunities and with this unique building, we can brand the Danish knowledge and technology to show the world our abilities within environmental and energy issues", Ulla Röttger, Director of Amagerforbraending
Instead of concentrating on the wrapping paper we have invested our energy on creating a gift for the citizens of Copenhagen & its visitors
The surrounding topography is sculpted by Topotek 1 & Man Made Land to form a park which offers informal sport activities in summer and winter.
