Last night was fun– we rolled up to the beach for midsummer festivities and tried to meet up with Chris and Erik who were with Daniel (the Dane), but it was such a crowd that it was rather impossible without any phones. We found a nice fire and had some beers and wine, and made our way back to the city at midnight. When we were crossing the canal back to our hostel we found a rather underground scene of subculture kids under the bridge with a bonfire of palettes on the wharf and a dj playing some interesting electronic music. We had another beer there and watched the gigantic fire for another hour or so before going to bed. It was actually a really low-key night, but surely a good one.
This morning was a slow start, ate an early breakfast and then went back to sleep until noon. We met up at the Danish Architecture Center for a meeting with a journalist from Copenhagen X , which was super interesting about their documentation of architectural events happening throughout the city. After that we grabbed a late lunch (a bacon-wrapped hot dog) and went straight to a firm tour with JDS, the other firm that came out of the Plot divorce which also produced BIG. They had equally impressive projects and models, and a neat studio, but it was a much smaller firm of 15, and we didn’t visit any actual projects. Very nice guys though. All the tours so far have made me want to practice in Europe– all opinions say they are much more open to the progressive.
I think the rest of the day will be here in the lab trying to figure out a way to further my project. No plans for tonight but I think it would be a good idea to take it easy and go to bed early. Walking around in the hot sun all day really takes a lot out of you.
That’s it.
