Statuary and Architecture

Copenhagen was full of excellent bronze statuary everywhere you looked, and the modern architecture amidst a historic city was a joy to come across. Walking through Copenhagen, you are treated to a real, world class city.



















This fountain depicts the goddess Gefion ploughing the island of Zealand (the island where Copenhagen lies) with her four sons yoked as oxen.



















A public art campaign to promote waste reduction and discourage littering.









Old boat, modern metal building, geodesic dome, brick apartment building, modern office building, sailboat. Seamless.










A new theatre









One, two, buckle my shoe










Modern apartment buildings










Brick behemoth










Pre-cast, modular office building foundation façade.










Corrugated steel-sided barn/studio.










The dock and the diving platform at a new public beach area, Amagerstrand













This is a large, windowless volume, completely sided with slate shingles. Note corner detail. Wild!
