Every other year, a number of Danish cities celebrate World Architecture Day by recognising their best new buildings, urban spaces, and landscapes. This year, C.F. Møller is strongly represented with 10 nominated projects across five Danish cities.
“We are proud to be so widely represented, both in terms of the number of cities and the variety of projects – spanning transformation and renovation, new construction, planning, landscape, and climate adaptation,” says Mårten Leringe, Chair of the Board, Architect and Partner at C.F. Møller Architects.
