Season 4

In the dune landscape, a new water park has been dropped—and with it, a gigantic waterslide that has sparked public anger. Here, new buildings were supposed to adapt to the terrain. Ane Cortzen examines whether an architect was present in Søndervig.

Disappointment over Aarhus’ tallest building, Unity, is so great that it’s called a tragedy. It’s visible from afar, and many are furious. Ane Cortzen looks both high and far to see if an architect was involved.

Lolland has gotten what Ane Cortzen calls the worst-placed building. Right next to the national industrial monument—the sugar factory in Holeby—the island’s largest hotel was built, looking more like an elaborate slum. She wonders if an architect was present.

Cinemas and cultural buildings should attract us—but in Frederikshavn, things went wrong. The new cinema resembles a bunker or concrete block. Ane Cortzen searches for whether one (or more) architects were present in the town’s cultural and political center.
