Where to find ugly architecture in the World Capital of Architecture?

Let's Talk Architecture

In 2023 Copenhagen is named the World Capital of Architecture by UNESCO due to the city’s livability and architecture which is renowned and praised by internationals as well as locals. But not all architectural realities deserve an award, and in this episode, we take a hard look at some of the Copenhagen buildings we condemn rather than praise. Your host Michael Booth takes a tour around the city with Holger Dahl, architectural critic from the Danish national newspaper Berlingske, and together they explore Copenhagen’s less popular sites. Even the home of Danish Architecture Center, BLOX, gets a few punches, although this construction seems to be growing on Holger Dahl. Come visit us some day and let us know what you think.
