In this episode of Copenhagen Walks we invite you to discover the transformation of Paper Island in Copenhagen from the inside of buildings. In this architectural tour, we'll explore how this former industrial area is being reinvented into a vibrant city quarter inspired by historic warehouses and surrounded by water. Kristian Dyrgaard, Head Concierge of PAPIRØEN, will lead us to discover the history of the Island, its redevelopment project designed by Cobe that created new axis of urban experiences, and show us the unique apartments where the sea enters your home.

A new episode from the Copenhagen Architecture Biennial 2025 showcases the “Slow Pavilions” — modular, slow-built architectural works embodying sustainability and circular design. Highlights include the “Inside Out, Upside Down” pavilion by Slaatto Morsbøl built from reclaimed materials embracing imperfection, and “Barn Again” by Tom Svilans & THISS Studio , a reimagined Norwegian barn using reclaimed timber that emphasizes time, care, and craftsmanship. The Royal Danish Academy ’s Clay Pavillion by Flemming Tvede Hansen and Isak Worre Foged and the Daylight Pavilion explore material behavior and daylight quality, blending research and hands-on construction. These pavilions emit minimal CO2, a radical shift from conventional building emissions, lending a strong message on slow, mindful architecture for the 21st century.
