Abstract
Copenhagen is starting to glow! Unquestionably the city has become one of the shining nodes in the network of New Europe. An opera house sponsored by the richest Dane, A. P. Møller, and built by Henning Larsen, a museum extension designed by Zaha Hadid, a theatre on the waterfront drawn by the Danish architects Lundgaard & Tranberg, a concert hall conceptualized by Jean Nouvel; and the new urban area Ørestad with its housing schemes designed by MVRDV and the young Danish stars PLOT — that is to name just a few of the new developments that make the super-modern difference of Denmark’s capital.
