We have built an entire centre with the sole purpose of telling everyone who’ll listen that the opera house in Sydney was designed by Danish Jørn Utzon.
The Iceberg
Easily recognisable, the dramatic Iceberg (Isbjerget) building on Aarhus' waterfront is part of a wave of interest in and development of exciting architecture in Aarhus.
The infinity bidge
