@Cyberpunk Denton It’s a carbon sinking, trash removing powerplant with a hiking trail, climbing wall, and freaking ski slope. When you start with a stinky trash landfill and carbon emitting power plant and end with this, it’s a little harsh to call the design brutalist. From what they started with, the result is rather beautiful.

@mattgreene01 Жыл бұрын

Copenhill is a fantastic building, sadly with a few oversights. First of all, Neveplast (the ski surface) shouldn’t have any vegetation growing through it - it makes the slope mouldy, bumpy and makes turning quite difficult. Plus it’s basically like riding on ice, thus the number of people trying it once and not coming back. What is also not mentioned is that the ski surface of Copenhill is currently being redone due to the material deteriorating faster than expected, at a cost of a smooth 1 million USD. Sadly, this is par for the course for many of BIG designed buildings: there are histories of the whole facades of residential buildings leaking and the buildings needing extensive and costly repairs, ending in disputes between architects, owners and the municipality. I admire BIG‘s creations and Copenhill is something that should be replicated throughout the world. Just wish the build quality followed the great ideas.

@tomedward8652 Жыл бұрын

Personally I would get rid of the ski slope. It is akin to a golf course - a large area that is no use to wildlife, and only a few people can use. Instead I would simply add more plants such as those used by bees and other pollen spreading creatures.

@tomedward8652 Жыл бұрын

I forgot to add that I can imagine the plastics used in the production of the ski slope material are pretty bad.

@mattgreene01 Жыл бұрын

Absolutely - but I’d actually argue that the ski slope there is a pretty amazing idea. I use it for snowboarding (there are snowboard obstacles on the bottom section of it) and it is a lot of fun, once you figured out riding on what’s basically sheet ice - and embraced the possibility of a likely injury :)

@@tomedward8652 It's fine. It will just get burned.

@Real_MisterSir Жыл бұрын

@@tomedward8652 We already have lots of wildlife dedicated land, and plant-filled rooftop walks. The key here is diversity in the urban landscape, not just sticking with one formula and copy pasting it everywhere. There is also the context of location, the plant is situated in a remote location within the city, meaning a lot of people don't frequent the place unless incentivized by a unique experience. A walk among some plants and wildlife will not do that, it would only really benefit the people working at the plant, but they aren't there for leisure times in the first place. You can look at other architectural works in Copenhagen like the Figure 8 building complex which has a green walkable roof through the entire structure's roof - as well as other places with different approaches. A good architectural city planning will diversify the experiences that are available - and considering people in Denmark have no other places to ski anyways this is a niche opportunistic choice that also serves the Tourist industry well as more of an eye catcher and a novel idea, than simply putting some more plants on a roof.
