Copenhagen aquarium "The Blue Planet"
Inspired “by the shape of water in endless motion”, Denmark’s new national aquarium, the Blue Planet, is northern Europe’s largest and most modern.
The whirlpool concept on which this unusual edifice originates is, according to Copenhagen-based architectural practice 3XN: “in a narrative about water, and as an image, is at once both abstract and figurative”. The practice also cites shoals of fish and swirling starlings for influencing the vortex-like form of the building.

ThyssenKrupp Steel Kindergarten
“Understated, metallic and perfectly harmonised,” is how ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe describes its recently launched ReflectionsPearl® range, but it is also an accurate description the company’s colourful new kindergarten in Duisburg, which makes good use of the coil-coated steel façade system.
