Robert MartinGUEST
I think that Danish architects, especially in the last 10 years, have been really forward in the way they think about new urban developments.
Robert MartinGUEST
We can look at places like Norhavn, for instance.
Robert MartinGUEST
This is the new city quarter that's grown up in the northern harbour of Copenhagen, just a bit outside the city centre.
Robert MartinGUEST
Right.
Jonas HartzGUEST
Yeah.
Richard FeiginHOST
I went to his studio this summer in, uh, yeah, in Nordhavn.
Jonas HartzGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Richard FeiginHOST
Far out in Nordhavn.
Jonas HartzGUEST
Yeah.
Richard FeiginHOST
Uh, and there we were talking about his art history, and he said, "I've always done art and graffiti in parallel."
Iain MontgomeryHOST
And it's sort of l- mixing and matching old ways of doing things, new ways of doing things, and then productizing them.
Iain MontgomeryHOST
Um, and I g- I guess, like, Co- I think the reason that made me think of it is, like, there's a building, I think it's in Nordhavn in Copenhagen, where they've effectively gone and built a giant tent over the construction site, and they're kinda using the site as the factory for building the building while not letting all the negative externalities of noise and dust harm other people who are living in the area, which I think is a really good example of taking that-
Bent FlyvbjergGUEST
Yeah
Iain MontgomeryHOST
... modular concept and putting it on a building site.
Bent FlyvbjergGUEST
...
Bent FlyvbjergGUEST
the weather, and that's a, that is a big thing, especially in a place that has as bad weather as Denmark has.
Bent FlyvbjergGUEST
So that, that, uh, yeah, that, that, uh, is happening in Nordhavn.
Bent FlyvbjergGUEST
That is happening right here where- which is, you know, like a mile south of Nordhavn where I'm sitting now, and that's becoming more common b- simply because it's economical, because you won't have, uh, uh, many days where people can't work on the, on the construction site.
