Context piece
- Architecture critic Holger Dahl visits a new university campus along Nørrebrogade in Aarhus after cycling up the steep street to see the site.
- The campus, designed by AART, reinterprets the university’s iconic pitched roofs and famous Book Tower.
- The former Aarhus County Hospital site has been transformed into what the article describes as an excellent new university campus.
It was a beautiful midsummer day when I made my way up steep Nørrebrogade in Aarhus to look at architecture. The bay flashed blue behind the Bestseller building on the waterfront, while farther up the road I could already glimpse the red University City I had come to examine more closely.
The visit focused on the new university campus along Nørrebrogade. AART’s architects have reinterpreted the university’s iconic pitched roofs and its famous Book Tower, giving the project a clear visual connection to Aarhus’s university architecture.
Aarhus County Hospital has also shed the hedge that once concealed it like Sleeping Beauty. In its place stands what the article calls an outstanding new university campus.
