  • When I started studying architecture and told people what I did

  • the most frequently asked question was always,

  • 'Can you tell me why all new buildings are so boring?'

  • People have the idea that in the past buildings came with ornaments and decoration.

  • Moats, drawbridges, spires and gargoyles.

  • Today they've been reduced to containers of space. Boring and boxy.

  • Somehow so many of our choices today tend to settle with reaffirming the status quo

  • by replicating what's already there rather than inventing what could happen next

  • might not fit together or even seem mutually exclusive like the gardenn home and the high-rise

  • and merge them together into a new genre

  • you don't have to remain faithful to a single idea

  • Copenhill is a power plant the turns waste into electricity

  • and that is so huge that it's gonna be the biggest and tallest structure in all of Copenhagen.

  • How could we transform the stereotype of the power plant into a public amenity

  • we thought Denmark is cold, we have snow, but no mountains

  • but we do have mountains of trash

  • so we wrapped the plant in a continuous envelope of a giant ski slope.

  • This is only possible because the power plants so clean
