Yesterday I went to Louisiana - the museum of modern art spectacularly draped on the coastline north of Copenhagen. They featured a great new exhibition called ‘Frontiers of Architecture 1′.
The exhibition left no doubt, that there’s definately a new wave of wavy architecture on the roll…the architects seem to be stretching their minds, materials and methods to the very limit of what’s possible in order to explode the square-thinking of traditional buildings and giving them new, wavy shapes.
One of the pieces immediately caught my wavy attention:
H-edge is created by Cecil Balmont and Arup. And even invites the visitor to pass through the wavy gate to the seashore:

… have had a secret crush on Cecil B for a little while. Sounds like the coolest guy with the coolest job in the coolest company. Actually surprising that Arup has not been hyped as the ‘kind-of-almost-Danish-company’ (à la Viggo Mortensen - the great Danish Son).
