Season 2
Ane Cortzen is once again pursuing architectural scandals. Because even though architecture is supposed to make our lives better and buildings last for decades, things still go wrong when we build. Why do we keep getting it wrong? Follow her around the country as she asks if an architect has been present.
Copenhagen’s Unimaginative High-Rise
In Copenhagen, the city’s tallest residential tower in recent memory has sparked outrage. Rising 100 meters on Carlsberg’s old brewery grounds, Bohrs Tårn dominates the skyline—but Ane Cortzen investigates why this tower, visible from across the capital, received so little architectural love.
