Color the city
Add color to Copenhagen. Download the Copenhagen portrait by A mile in the woods right here.
Bomb the city green
Roll seed bombs and help spread flowers in the city’s concrete jungle. Throw the seed bomb when it’s spring – or give a green and sustainable gift to your grandfather or aunt. You will find the recipe right here.
Make a rocket-mobile
Space rockets are just great – and you can easily make your own little space rocket that flies to the moon. Download the cutting sheet below, print it out on an A4 sheet (preferably on slightly thick paper) and follow the instructions. Enjoy!
Create your own shell relief
Roll up your sleeves, crush seashells and create your own image! Experience how the materials change during the process and gain new knowledge on how we can use them in other contexts.
Floor plan as a mandala
Mandala means circle in the ancient Indian language Sanskrit, and is a symbol of the unity of the universe. Hindu and Buddhist monks use mandalas for meditation, and here it is designed in accordance with the organically shaped floor plan of the New North Zealand Hospital.
A new facade for Bohr’s Tower
Bohr’s Tower has met quite a resistance in the public. A major point of criticism has been the shape of the tower – its height and width make it something of a hulking presence. However, the building’s shape had already been defined in the City of Copenhagen’s local development plan, so the architects have played with the size of the windows to make the tower appear narrower. How would you draw the facade of Bohr’s Tower if you had the chance?
Build your city
What should your city look like? Should there be a harbor bath and houseboats? Homes with slides from the roof down into the yard? With recycled materials and a glue gun, you can build just what you dream of. And maybe awaken a future urban planner?
Fold your own room
If you could decide for yourself, what would your room look like? You can sleep under the table, and the furniture can be placed wherever you like. Download our template, use your imagination and creativity, and decorate yourself so that you live at your best!
