Field Trip

Yesterday the studio architecture classes went on a bike trip to Christianshavn. The weather continues to cooperate, so our professor took us on the scenic route to get there.

Riding into Christianshavn.

Not surprisingly this gave me even more places that I want to explore: for example, the church in the background of the above picture. The staircase to the steeple, rather than being built in the conventional manner, is on the outside of the building. Cool beans.

Looking across the harbor to the central city.

The harbor also looks like a fun place to spend more time. Many people take berths along the edges and simply live there on their boats. And then, if the spirit moves them, they untie and go for a sail. That sounds like the live to me.

Christiania.

And finally, Christiania. Yes, I know the stigma surrounding Christiania, but just look at it. It's beautiful. And as a social experiment it's just way too good to pass up seeing.
