Superkilen, Public park in Nørrebro, Denmark
The park extends 750 meters through Copenhagen's Nørrebro district, featuring three color-coded zones: a red square, black market area, and green park section.
Following neighborhood tensions in 2006, architects developed this urban space in 2012 to create connections between local communities through inclusive design principles.
The space incorporates street furniture and objects from 60 different nations, including Russian neon signs, Armenian benches, and Spanish ping-pong tables.
Each section serves specific purposes: the red zone contains sports facilities, the black zone functions as an urban living room, and the green zone offers areas for picnics.
Information plates accompany every object in the park, presenting details about their origins in both Danish and the native language of each item.

This collection gathers examples of architectural rehabilitation where former industrial sites have been transformed into new spaces for living, culture, and gatherings. These projects illustrate how contemporary architecture can give a second life to structures that marked European and North American industrial history, while maintaining their original identity. Included are the Oberhausen Gasometer, a 117-meter gas holder converted into exhibition space, the Van Nelle Factory in Rotterdam, an old coffee and tobacco factory turned cultural venue, and the High Line in New York, a 1930s elevated railway converted into a 2.3-kilometer urban park. The Zeche Zollverein complex in Essen showcases Bauhaus-style industrial architecture from the 1930s, while Strijp-S in Eindhoven, a former Philips production site, now hosts creative and technological studios. These sites demonstrate the possibilities offered by repurposing industrial heritage into accessible public spaces.
From Nyhavn's harbor houses to the modern architecture of The Blue Planet aquarium, Copenhagen contains varied photographic perspectives. The city combines historical palaces, new buildings, urban parks, and cultural sites across all seasons.
