The Danish firm\u00a0Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter<\/a> has won the competition to design an extension to the existing headquarters of The Danish Society of Engineers, IDA.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>\u201cThe Opal\u201d,\u00a0so the building was named for its shape resembling an oval gemstone that reverberates all colours of the spectrum, will be a new landmark in the harbour\u00a0of Copenhagen thanks to the color effects\u00a0when the water will be reflected in his facade\u00a0and through the lights projected from the facade itself.<\/p>\n

The structure is a trial of advanced technology and a catalyst of attention to people passing nearby. Furthermore, a conference hall\u00a0and a restaurant will be provided in the building, so it\u00a0will also be lived in by locals and passers-by. The main attraction is the facade, the “business card” of The Opal. The lighting design reflects\u00a0the visionary design developed by Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter and engineers from S\u00f8ren Jensen R\u00e5dgivende Ingeni\u00f8rer<\/a>. The competition brief\u00a0for the extension of\u00a0IDA headquarters requested the need to show through the building the futuristic engineering possibilities obtainable with contemporary means.<\/p>\n

Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter – extension to the existing headquarters of The Danish Society of Engineers, IDA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The close cooperation between Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter and the engineers allows the building to rest on just four V columns made of steel, so you have the impression\u00a0of the building waving, as if gravity doesn\u2019t exist in that portion of the\u00a0Earth’s surface. The triangular elements used for the facade cladding follow an alternation of transparent and opaque finishings. There is also a technical textile covering that incorporates LED lights to allow for a spectacular vision of the building during the night.<\/p>\n

Quoting a part of the jury report: “The proposal offers a unique architectural approach for creating a visionary and distinctive new landmark for IDA’s headquarters. The building will become a focal point for illustrating the symbiosis between the art of engineering and architecture. Both IDA and Copenhagen will benefit greatly from the beautiful new addition”.<\/p>\n
