Booking information on Gift Certificate.

The Danish Broadcasting Company (DR) has collected all its activities in the capital in a single complex. The media center is divided into four segments designed by different architects and built in stages.

The unified plan was inspired by the North African kasbah. A key element is an indoor street that links the four segments.

Segment 1 is the biggest of the four and holds reception facilities, studios, offices, depots, etc. The building has an open look, with large expanses of glass that give passersby in Ørestad North a view of DR's offices and studios.

Segment 2 houses the news and sports offices. The heart of the building is a large, open room characterized by soft, organic shapes and transparency that lets light in on all the building's workplaces.

Segment 3 is the smallest of the four, where DR's administration and Copenhagen's local radio are based in a building whose main theme is greenery.

Segment 4 is the concert hall, which seats 1,800. It seems simple from the outside: a monumental cobalt-blue cube 45 meters tall. Inside, the building reveals a complex, organic structure whose asymmetry creates outstanding acoustics.
