Copenhagen Design Museum

Whilst in Copenhagen I went to the Design Museum.  One of the main features was a display which had a supermarket layout but the products on sale were things bottled up such as pause, inner calmness, obesity dissolvers etc. 

Overall the museum was disappointing.  The objects were poorly displayed and the layout was bad.  I don’t think the museum showed the best designs and I didn’t find visiting it that useful. 

    

Architecture Museum

The museum sits on the river front in Copenhagen.  I went to an exhibition in the museum which showed some of the design for the Beijing 2008 Olympics and had the quote “From Made in China to Made by China”. 

The exhibition also showed the percentage of the world’s population that lives in China.  It also showed how the population is getting wealthier and that the Chinese are now looking to go abroad for holidays and that the western population should now make china their main market because there is a lot of money to be made from them.  The exhibition also showed the knock on effect of the changes such as pollution.

           

River Front Architecture

When we visited Malmo went for the day we went to Copenhagen.  We took the train across the Ostrunde Brigde which only took half an hour.

    

   

     

    

Bathing Area

This is a bathing area in Copenhagan.  It was designed by Plot and was opened in 2002.  The harbour was cleaned from all of its heavy industrial pollution and the bathing area was designed to provide a recreation area.
