Town Gate Bridge in Copenhagen Harbor

3XN’s proposal for a construction on Marmormolen in Copenhagen is both: a town gate and a bridge that links Marmormolen with Langeliniekaj, creating a new coherent area in Copenhagen Harbor.

A bridge spanning a body of deep water, providing the only dry connection between two stretches of land, is one of the most powerful architectural experiences in the landscape. Another classical element is the town gate, which marks the boundary between the countryside and the town, and ‘contains’ the town, physically, structurally and aesthetically.

3XN’s proposal for a construction on Marmormolen in Copenhagen is both: a town gate and a bridge that links Marmormolen with Langeliniekaj, creating a new coherent area in Copenhagen Harbor.

The towers and the bridge constitute one single, floating dynamic movement, characterized by the bold span across the harbor entrance in terms of both the plan design and the facade. Establishing a connection across the harbor radically improves public access and creates brand new opportunities for life and growth in the area.

I love the industry design of the north Europe.

This bridge is another example.

It's becoming more common for architects and designer to use commercial products in residential. They are so many creative possibilities. I know of companies for example like Hexocon that uses so many different applications of aluminum and glass to add to interior or exterior of a commercial or residential building such as the windows and doors, the sunroom, shower enclosures from all glass and such.

Jeg har gennem længere tid haft til opgave at tegne varetegn fra forskellige byer i europa, Derfor luner det mit hjerte at se et monoment der modtager rejsende til Danmark. At dette monoment også har en funktion viser vores kultur fra den bedste side! Jeg håber inderligt vi vil se denne bro vil blive bygget, så vi kan modtage de rejsende der besøger vores land, i vores kulturs ånd.
