Er der en arkitekt til stede?
Architecture should make our lives better and buildings should give back to their surroundings. Because once a building is built, it's not going anywhere for decades to come. Ane Cortzen explores how, in this day and age, we still end up with architecture that goes wrong when she asks if there was an architect present.

Seasons & Episodes
1. Unwelcoming, Closed, With Its Back to the Sea
At the Aarhus harbor, Navitas was meant to be a bastion of architectural quality. Everyone expected a building in such a prominent location to welcome visitors and give back to its surroundings. But Ane Cortzen can’t find the inviting staircase or the transparent structure that Aarhus was promised.
2. Yet Another Criticized Development at Copenhagen’s Harbor
In Copenhagen, Denmark’s largest hotel has been erected right where people enter the capital and its harbor. The goal wasn’t to recreate the criticized 1990s monoliths by the waterfront—but the hotel’s facade shows we’ve hardly learned anything. Ane Cortzen chases down who is responsible for the building turning out this way.
3. When the Green Spaces Are Sacrificed
Lilli Gyldenkildes Torv in Horsens promised golden opportunities and green surroundings as part of a new public housing project—but today it stands as a car-oriented development rather than a people-friendly space. Ane Cortzen seeks to understand why Horsens didn’t get the airy, green construction they were promised.
4. Nature Became the Big Loser
In Asserbo Plantation, massive summer-house developments have led to the felling of mature trees and natural landscape. Why can’t good architecture coexist with nature? Ane Cortzen ventures into the forest to ask where the trees went.
