Denmark - Copenhagen - Student housing 2_sq crop
The Tietgenkollegiet by Lundgaard & Tranberg is one of my favourite buildings in Orestad, Copenhagen. It may not be the most dramatic but it would seem to have formed a perfect little self-contained student community.
This is an old shot that I've redone as a square format crop and I think it's a stronger image now as the crop has excluded extraneous paving and tightened up the composition to concentrate on the relationship between the bike and the supergraphic number.
From Wikipedia : "Its concept focuses on how the accommodation can help encourage the personal and social development of the students. The courtyard, around which all common areas are located, reinforces the idea of community. It also enables the often monotonous student corridor to become not only spatially interesting but unending, linking all student ‘houses’ on each floor.
There are 360 rooms, 10% of which have been designated for international exchange students. The building is circular, with 6 floors and rooms set up in blocks of 12. Each room has its own washroom and there are four sizes to the rooms: 26 sq. metres, 29 sq. metres, 33 sq. metres, and 42 sq. metres, approximately. Each block has shared kitchen and living room, with each living room having a unique set of furniture and other items."
