Dania Park

Landscape Architecture: Thorbjörn Andersson
Location: Malmö, Sweden
Year of construction: 1999
Photo: Landezine

‘Öresund, the sound that separates Denmark from Sweden, features magnificent views of the long horizon and a wide sky. This is dramatic coastal setting for the Dania Park. As a shoreline park it offers different ways to be close to the sea that vary from simple access to purposeful challenge. It is also a good place to experience the tempers of the climate, with Malmö’s sunny summer days, violent autumn storms, and calm, frosty winters with views over grey waters.’

Cpnhgn Harbour Bath

Last year I posted pictures of Harbour bath in Copenhagen, last month I visited the site and made a few more photos. You can see how the wood is aging and some green carpets emerged I suppose due to safety precautions.

Architects: PLOT = BIG + JDS
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
Area: 2,500 m²
Project year: 2003
Budget: US $787,000

JDS: If you walk across Langebro on a sunny Saturday afternoon in summer, you’ll see a very peculiar sight when looking down at the old industrial area on Islands Brygge. Hundreds of people dressed in swimwear are walking, standing, sunbathing and smiling about as if they were on a sandy beach far from the metropolis. In 2002 the Harbour Bath was opened as part of the Havneparken. In no time it developed into a unique oasis right in the middle of Copenhagen. People instantly loved it. City harbours are usually not associated with fresh swimming water. Old swimming baths at Langebro closed down in 1953 because of poor water quality. Bathing is now without health risks thanks to the improved water quality. With 42 km of wharf in the harbour the city’s revitalization “Blue Plan” is working on making room for houseboats, promenades, water sports, recreation areas and playgrounds in the entire harbour space. Copenhageners now pack towels and swimwear in their briefcases. They might fancy a swim.
