Copenhagen Harbour : New Bridge, Denmark

CPH Arch is 3XN's spectacular proposal for a town gate inspired bridge 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. The development of Marmormolen is a part of the urban development plan of Copenhagen Harbor, which is facilitated by CPH City & Port Development.
