@Cyberpunk Denton It’s a carbon sinking, trash removing powerplant with a hiking trail, climbing wall, and freaking ski slope. When you start with a stinky trash landfill and carbon emitting power plant and end with this, it’s a little harsh to call the design brutalist. From what they started with, the result is rather beautiful.
@@alexgram4345 Or maybe you just have a minority taste yet believe you are superior due to thinking you're the main character in this world? But the fact that you couldn't acknowledge the style, and you claim the design is "horrible" as a factual statement, instantly proves you possess neither stylistic nor design skills of your own. And that makes me doubt your blender skills as well. What work have you done?
"Amagerværket" .... it burns garbage ... TONS of garbage ... ALL kinds of garbage. This the single largest poluter in Copenhagen ... not by choise - but that's how it is :) .... it's also a "nice looking building"
I visited Copenhagen end of 2022 and I always astounded by the hill they created. Seeing this video made me respect it even more. Well done Denmark. Copenhagen was great and this vision makes it even better. Tak!
'Denmark is flat as a pancake' ~ what a way to build a ski slope! with all the benefits that comes within! salute to the architects, and the whole team behind, this is so inspiring! ❤

@@hrimfaxi1 Copenhill is not Amagerværket, if that is what you hint at. They are not even owned by the same people, Amagerværket is owned by HOFOR (Hovedstadsområdets Forsyningsselskab) and CopenHill is owned by ARC (Amager Ressourcecenter I/S)
Copenhill is a fantastic building, sadly with a few oversights. First of all, Neveplast (the ski surface) shouldn’t have any vegetation growing through it - it makes the slope mouldy, bumpy and makes turning quite difficult. Plus it’s basically like riding on ice, thus the number of people trying it once and not coming back. What is also not mentioned is that the ski surface of Copenhill is currently being redone due to the material deteriorating faster than expected, at a cost of a smooth 1 million USD. Sadly, this is par for the course for many of BIG designed buildings: there are histories of the whole facades of residential buildings leaking and the buildings needing extensive and costly repairs, ending in disputes between architects, owners and the municipality. I admire BIG‘s creations and Copenhill is something that should be replicated throughout the world. Just wish the build quality followed the great ideas.
Personally I would get rid of the ski slope. It is akin to a golf course - a large area that is no use to wildlife, and only a few people can use. Instead I would simply add more plants such as those used by bees and other pollen spreading creatures.
Absolutely - but I’d actually argue that the ski slope there is a pretty amazing idea. I use it for snowboarding (there are snowboard obstacles on the bottom section of it) and it is a lot of fun, once you figured out riding on what’s basically sheet ice - and embraced the possibility of a likely injury :)
@@tomedward8652 We already have lots of wildlife dedicated land, and plant-filled rooftop walks. The key here is diversity in the urban landscape, not just sticking with one formula and copy pasting it everywhere. There is also the context of location, the plant is situated in a remote location within the city, meaning a lot of people don't frequent the place unless incentivized by a unique experience. A walk among some plants and wildlife will not do that, it would only really benefit the people working at the plant, but they aren't there for leisure times in the first place. You can look at other architectural works in Copenhagen like the Figure 8 building complex which has a green walkable roof through the entire structure's roof - as well as other places with different approaches. A good architectural city planning will diversify the experiences that are available - and considering people in Denmark have no other places to ski anyways this is a niche opportunistic choice that also serves the Tourist industry well as more of an eye catcher and a novel idea, than simply putting some more plants on a roof.
I really like this buildings architecture with its steel bump exterior and lots of windows and clean industrial interior. I’m going to have to visit your rooftop. This waste management technique is high level with its efficiency to use heat in the garbage burning process well done.
Philippines need this waste plant!! Too much trash polluting our waters and land. Not only is it good for environment, it can provide electricity and heating. Simply amazing!
heat recycling is controversial because a lot of NIMBY/perfect is the enemy of good types will protest any energy recovery from burning trash. They'd rather dream of a future and not address the immediate need.
Burning trash cleanly like this is much more expensive than something like solar and dumps. There needs to be a big environmental push to politically make these happen.
Absolute perfection. Genius. Until I got to the part where he clarified that the stack actually does he met more than just water vapor. It emits carbon.
Maybe this is what we need more of, crazy ideas.. Ideas to inspire people to make a change and think differently. To direct the worlds focus on our green future. 💚 Said by a car channel.. I see the irony. 😏
The video fails to capture the smell, obviously. The first time I I went there, that threw me off a little. Maybe if the path leading to the top was flanked by greenery would help a little. Also, the “café” up there need some help (I would assume that was out of scope for BIG?). Side note: Copenhagen is beautiful, TONS of great designers-COBE, BIG, Frama, Dorte Mandrup, Olafur…GOD (Odin?)! I wish I was born there!!!! Anyways, definitely worth the visit (and please, do yourself a favour and bike there).🇩🇰
@@slavaviktorov6053 The ski slope is obviously not what I was talking about. I meant the ways they are working to reduce energy use, be smart about lighting, and bringing in people to learn about cleaner energy solutions.
I worked at a Coal burning powerplant for 13 years. It amazes me how clean the inside of that place is. There burning trash. Pretty cool. I would like to know how man megawatts this place makes.
The plant is designed to change between operating modes, producing 0-63 MW electricity and 157-247 MW district heating. It's a great feat of micro and macro engineering.

Scandinavian architecture is simply amazing! The clean lines, natural materials, and unique designs are truly awe-inspiring.
Looks like a mix of brutalist and ultra modern architecture. What's Scandinavian about it? Seriously want to know.
Good idea but the architecture is ugly brutalist trash and how is it specifically Scandinavian?

Just learnt about this place in my geography course. Super helpful video!

I’m surprised why there isn’t more of this type of power plant elsewhere in the world…
Probably because its extremely expensive

We could but it isn’t as profitable as oil for example it would take down a multi billion dollar industry, elites don’t want that

The ski slope on the building is so cool; a hiking park and other outdoor amenities with animals and even foxes, wow! 😮
He mentioned the fox like it was a surprise to him. So now I'm curious if they put the fox up there or it scaled the building 😂
I have visions of flying over the edge of that ski slope! 😮
Not really possible - the edge walls are tall and there are walkways all around the slope, so you’d need to be pretty determined :)
Philippines need this waste plant!! Too much trash polluting our waters and land. Not only is it good for environment, it can provide electricity and heating. Simply amazing!
Perfect apocalypse building
I think The Tim Traveller's video on this does a better job of showing the limitations of a good idea like this
What an absolutely brilliant piece of design!
Amazing!! Apparently there are no limits for creativity!!
Wow, why dont we have these built all over the place? Is it not as cost effective as other power/garbage disposal options?
heat recycling is controversial because a lot of NIMBY/perfect is the enemy of good types will protest any energy recovery from burning trash. They'd rather dream of a future and not address the immediate need.
You are right. They paid for the prototype now go make it elsewhere in poorer countries who could not afford to make this up on their own.
@@shinybaldy Could you elaborate a bit more?, I'm really interested in your take, but I really didn't get the first part of ur comment.

How did the fox get up there 😳
it just walked from the bottom and up
You can get a good view at 4:38-I thought the same thing at first though 😂
Thank you for saving a planet ❤❤❤❤❤
This is INSANE!! Wow!!
Absolute perfection. Genius. Until I got to the part where he clarified that the stack actually does he met more than just water vapor. It emits carbon.
A mountain-bike trail on the roof would have been cool though..
More building should be built like this around the world to uplift the CSR and environmental protection
These should be everywhere.
This is super cool. And in my head, it was Arnold that was narrating it the whole time.
this is what we need in my country...
I wish we could have something like this where I live. This is so cool.
Amazing project, so proud of people who made this happen.

absolutely amazing building

This looks like something out of a story book. Wow!
absolutely stunning.
Very Impressed....! Made my DAY!!!!
Thanx Arnold for narrating this
Wish we all had one of these

🇮🇳INDIA should also make plants like this that can manage waste without harming the environment
We need these in the states. Our landfills are becoming a huge problem.
This is super awesome and it just made my day!

The building reminds me of the one in Superman 3 with Christopher Reeve. Also had a ski slope on top of a skyscraper. Movue Magic 🤣
I LOVE IT
This makes my heart smile ❤
STUNNING!
they are building my dream actually!
I want the narrator to say “it’s not a tumor!”
Simply Incredible
This is awesome. This gives me hope :)
In the original design, the stack was supposed to make “smoke rings”.
This building is so cool!
the concept is just amazing
This is brilliant.
I hope we can have this in our country the Philippines
Awesome!
