Denmark Arch-Road Trip | Day 2

 We didn’t know how many treasures the west coast of Denmark holds. A Clever Story. Day 2

In this episode we continue our architectural road trip in Denmark to explore new places. Is the architecture and landscape on the West Coast different from that of the East Coast? How does the new museum designed by BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group and built directly on the site of Denmark’s largest World War II refugee camp look like? How is the Esbjerg Maritime Center designed by Snøhetta and WERK inspired by wooden boat construction from inside? What does it mean - contactless hotel?

This road trip was made in a collaboration with Clever - a leading Danish company in electric vehicle charging https://clever.dk/ and the HOTEL MELFARHUS - a staffed and reception-free hotel in scenic surroundings at the marina in Middelfart https://hotelmelfarhus.dk/ .
