Architectural recordSummary: The landscape of Ørestad, a fairly recent development of office buildings, educational facilities, and housing on the southern outskirts of Copenhagen, next to hauntingly beautiful marshlands, is an odd array of wide-open spaces—often without a soul in sight—lined mainly with competent but sedate contemporary architecture. There are some exceptions, notably BIG’s 8 House, in the form of a cascading figure eight. But more immediately visible from the elevated train and metro lines that swiftly connect this new area to the city center and the airport are a pair of distinctive round buildings. The larger of the two, the Royal Arena (2017), designed by 3XN, has become a popular venue for concerts and sporting events. The smaller one has a program not as obviously associated with its cylindrical form.
