Turning the first sod for the Bryghus project

On Thursday, 16 May, The mayor of the Technical and Environmental Administration, Ayfer Baykal, and Realdania's Chairman Jesper Nygård turned the first sods for the Bryghus (Brewery Site) project, which is to rejuvenate the harbour area.
The Bryghus project is designed by the internationally recognised Dutch firm of architects OMA, and a number of partners have been involved from the very earliest phases of the project. The Bryghus project will be built on the Bryghus site adjacent to the open harbour at Christians Brygge, between the Langebro bridge and the Frederiksholm Canal in Copenhagen. The client for the project is Realdania Byg. C.F. Møller is OMA's Danish partner C.F. Møller is OMA's Danish partner for the Bryghus project and handles the coordination of the many consultants, as well as project design and follow-up at the construction site. The design office also handles contact with the authorities, and coordinates the work in accordance with Danish regulations and statutes. A multi-functional building The Bryghus project will be the new setting for the Danish Architecture Centre, with exhibition halls, a café and a bookshop. The project also includes flats, offices, shops and a restaurant. The various functions will be combined to the greatest possible extent, in order to ensure a dynamic environment. Below the building there will be automatic parking facilities, and adjacent to the building there will be attractive public areas, with space for leisure and recreational activities. A building to revitalise the city The ambition behind the building's design is to create more activity in this area of the city, as an urban powerhouse in which the building, homes, squares, people, restaurant and café are fused into a lively environment, while the site is bisected by the traffic entering and leaving the parking facility. The Bryghus project is expected to be completed in 2017.
