arkiquirky copenhagen, size small

on our walks around Copenhagen away from the tourist sites, along quiet canals and behind buildings and in tranquil courtyards, the odd small sized structure stands alone unengaged with its surroundings but serving a purpose of sorts...


elegantly ornamented but solid metal barricades for the private relief of bodily functions...


a caravan-style cabana serving as a sauna for heated debates... or other steamier encounters, wink, wink...
(by the Johan Borups Hojskole, a high school for the arts, on the Frederiksholms Kanal)


a mysterious enclosed structure with a small water trough attached in the garden of the Design Museum Denmark


tubular tentacles for intrepid children - and larger humans - to climb and burrow in, are solidly propped on a playground in a Norrebro neighbourhood


this spherical "COSMIC ROOM" installation on the quay beside the Nordatlantens Brygge (North Atlantic House) presenting a cosmic experiential space within its mirror-paneled interior is the creation of Trondur Patursson, a painter, glass artist and sculptor from the Faroe islands


a cubist folly of brick laying skills as a spatial enigma of stolid compunction squats in a courtyard of the architecture school at the Royal Danish Academy
