I went with my coworkers to
Ørestad, a neighborhood in
Vestamager that has seen a recent boom in ambitious and wildly designed buildings. Up-and-coming designers like
Bjarke Ingels (<<website is awesome) have been given relatively free rein to dream up and construct living spaces and office buildings that Europe often shies away from, a result of strict zoning that prevents bold new architecture from mingling with quaint old architecture.
With tons of open land and license to experiment, architects have bent glass and steel into crazy apartment blocks like
8TALLET and the
Tietgen Students' Residence. Honestly, the trip to Ørestad felt a bit like a trip into
Orbit City - all that was missing was a Spacely Sprockets factory.
