Lunch in Aarhus

For our lunch break, we got pasta at a food truck style eating place and then we explored Dokk1, the public library. It’s so cool and incorporates public space with reading spaces and modern technology, it even has parking elevators!

 

Dokk1 was designed by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects and it is Scandinavia’s largest public library. You enter the building on the second (“first” in European terms, that’s a whole blog post of its own…)

The ground floor of the library has the entrances to the parking elevators and an upside-down cityscape sculpture above.

 

If walls could dream… they’d dream of parking elevators!
