If it were up to Danish Architect Johnny Svendborg and Japanese Architect Junya Ishigami you can take a walk on the rooftops of Copenhagen in a not too distant future.
In the project Carpet//Horizon they have investigated the architectural potential of converting traditional rooftops of Copenhagen into a natural habitat.
- The idea was to create at new urban landscape on a new kind of scale. We wanted to create one big landscape with the whole city spread out like a carpet, says Junya Ishigami.
- What we have worked with is so to speak, creating a kind of new horizon, adds Johnny Svendborg.
The result of the project can be seen on youtube.
