Nordhavn Islands Copenhagen
Urban platform for social and cultural exchange.
With the Nordhavn Islands, C.F. Møller Landscape has created an inviting urban platform for social and cultural exchange, where everyone can meet the natural phenomena head on. The project has tremendous potential as a community generator which, with the water encouraging activity as a social trigger, will bring life and atmosphere to the area, and thus link the new school with the city and the city with the water.
The activities on the Nordhavn Islands are spread out over three different islands, each with its own characteristics: "The Reef", a multifunctional platform for aqua learning and events in extension of the quayside; "The Lagoon", a floating arena for activities such as kayak polo and other water sports, and "The Sun Bath", an actual harbour bath with a sauna and protected areas for swimming training. As an extension of the school's interior space, not only can the functions be included directly in the teaching, but they can also be used by external visitors.
