OMA Commission at Old Brewery Site in CopenhagenThe Realdania Foundation of Denmark has announced their commission of The Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) for a new project in the city centre of Copenhagen.
The project is to be cited on a 12,000sqm block in the historical location of the Port of Copenhagen, the Bryghusgrunden, across from "The Black Diamond" Royal Library and the National Parliament.
OMA Partner, Rem Koolhaas said "for us, what is unique about this project is that we have the ability to classify the project before it begins."
He continued "It is unusual for the architect to be able to define the project from the beginning but with collaboration between our think-tank, AMO, and our clients we are able to establish the programming and use of the site."
It is anticipated that the new building will house exhibition spaces for the Danish Architecture Centre and Realdania Foundation's head office as well as residential, commercial and entertainment venues.
It is intended that by creating open areas and public space more life will be brought to the Bryghusgrunden.
