Tales of the City
Listen and experience urban tales in the company of author and social pundit Knud Romer and the architects WERK.
In this exhibition, WERK has put architectural works in the hands of Knud Romer, who considers the works from a wider perspective and asks us why we don’t turn the tables and live the way we actually want to.
The exhibition is a hotchpotch of architectural models, personal recollections, social comment and dreams of community, and it gives the visitor an insight into how architecture affects us.
Architecture is only really revealed when we use it, when our lives and the lives of others unfold and merge, and when the whole becomes our shared life in the city.
The “Urban Tales – Knud Romer & WERK in community” exhibition is an alternative and entertaining introduction to 14 architectural works designed by WERK and centered on community.

Carl Nielsens Allé – a green oasis that also protects the city against cloudbursts
It used to be a busy parking lot. Soon this urban space will have been transformed into a lush green park for everyone to enjoy. During heavy rainfall, the green oasis becomes a beautiful water reservoir detaining the rainwater. This urban green space is multifunctional: it serves as a barrier against traffic, a piece of furniture providing shelter and a place to rest, and a means of retaining and channeling rainwater.
