5/5 Danish Architecture C. 6 years ago on Google • 12 reviews
Just
south
of
the
covered
food
market,
a
magic
carpet
has
landed
on
Israels
Plads,
bringing
life
to
the
previously
messy
square.
The
location
is
perfect
and
rich
in
opportunities:
surrounded
by
the
bustling
covered
market,
the
lush
Ørsteds
Park
and
busy
Nørreport.
How
annoying
it
used
to
be
to
see
the
southern
part
of
Israels
Plads
deserted
with
a
messy
jumble
of
ballgame
cages
and
parking
spaces.
The
inauguration
of
the
covered
market
gave
the
northern
part
of
Israels
Plads
a
real
injection
of
urban
life.
At
last
the
southern
part
has
been
given
its
own
share
of
tender
loving
care.
Israels
Plads
was
built
on
top
of
the
historic
ramparts,
which
used
to
surround
the
city.
The
square
interconnects
with
Ørsteds
Park
and
the
Botanical
Gardens,
and
the
principal
idea
behind
renovating
the
square
is
to
enhance
the
coherence
between
the
square
and
its
surroundings.
The
goal
was
to
integrate
the
covered
market,
Israels
Plads
and
Ørsteds
Park
in
a
contemporary
urban
space,
taking
advantage
of
the
square's
unique
location
and
challenging
ideas
about
what
activities
might
take
place
in
the
area
between
the
city
centre
and
the
residential
neighbourhoods.
