Orestad à Copenhague, quartier qui présente un nouveau mode de vie
Un immeuble surprenant : le « 8tallet » a prit place dans le nouveau quartier urbain de Ørestad à Copenhague . .Ce quartier tout neuf est construit le long de la ligne de métro qui conduit de la Vieille Ville à l’aéroport. Il s’agit du projet d’urbain le plus important à l’heure actuelle au Danemark . Aujourd’hui, dès la sortie de métro DR-Byen un monument de Per Kirkeby et deux grands bâtiments s’élèvent de part et d’autre de l’Emil Holms Kanal.
Luckily there aren’t many countries that drive on the opposite side of the road and share borders. However, they do exist, such as China, which drives on the right, and the former British colony of Hong Kong, and former Portuguese colony of Macau, both which drive on the left. This can pose an interesting problem for engineers and road planners, but Dutch architectural firm, NL Architects, has come up with a bridge with a twist – a concept that not only puts the drivers on the correct side of the road physically, but helps reinforce that fact visually to help get the drivers into the mindset of driving on the opposite side of the road.
