Documentary • 28 min • 4 seasons, 16 episodes
Episode synopsis
In Copenhagen, Denmark’s largest hotel has been erected right where people enter the capital and its harbor. The goal wasn’t to recreate the criticized 1990s monoliths by the waterfront—but the hotel’s facade shows we’ve hardly learned anything. Ane Cortzen chases down who is responsible for the building turning out this way.
About Er der en arkitekt til stede?
Architecture should make our lives better and buildings should give back to their surroundings. Because once a building is built, it's not going anywhere for decades to come. Ane Cortzen explores how, in this day and age, we still end up with architecture that goes wrong when she asks if there was an architect present.
