Copenhagan Royal Theatre
The design for the Royal Theatre responds to the two fundamental mandates of the competition brief: to develop an open cultural institution and a pragmatic well-functioning venue for cultural events.
The proposed solution suspends the Auditorium in a colourful glass encasement, reversing the tradition of the theatre as a dark, monolithic structure. The building responds to the surrounding landscape of the quay, adopting an undulating, planted rooftop, lending form to the Auditorium below.
