I'm not a fan of that Copenhagen development. And it's just one of many ott developments that have no relationship to the Danish architectural tradition and vernacular.

Don't mean to piss on anyone's parade, but I grew up in CPH and it was a beautiful city. Now it's full of wanky monstrosities.

I can hear Danny Kaye warbling away through the mists of time :-)

Cheers, Zen.

It does have an element of UAE cringe doesn’t it. I wouldn’t want it over the road from my palace. Got to look at it how a women sees a short, fat, bald wealthy man though. Not pretty but functional and will get you where you need to be. There’s a genuine attractiveness in that, and I’ve had this explained to me directly from a women who liked the aforementioned men

Let if fall. It's closed anyway, you can't walk to it. They fenced it off with the ugliest looking wire so the whole setup is quite depressing.

Can't disagree with you there, it's a fairly underwhelming monument, but has its moments in the late afternoon sun. Let the sea take it back.
