The new buildings rise up from the ground and provide spaces which
articulate the fusion of outdoor landscape and indoor exhibition.
This active ground modulates according to program and location in
the park. The endpoints of the buildings blur the line between building
and park by offering inside-out spaces as display areas and projection
surfaces related to the temporary exhibitions inside. Silhouettes,
as groups of land formations, define the unique newly programmed horizon
line of Danfoss Universe.

Danfoss Universe is a science park in Denmark, embedded in the agricultural
landscape of Nordborg next to the founders home and the Danfoss
HQ. It opened in May 2005 and is already enlarging due to its considerable
success. The masterplan for Danfoss Universe Phase 2 includes an exhibition
building (Curiosity.Center) and a restaurant (Food.Factory) which
extends the summer based outdoor park into the winter months by enclosing
spaces for exhibitions and scientific experiments.
