In our stay at Copenhagen, we explored a
recommended summer spot near the coast of Copenhagen, the Kastrup Søbad
Seawater. The Kastrup is a suburb located right in the middle of downtown
Copenhagen and Copenhagen Airport. The place took about fifteen minute biking
from our hostel. There was a boardwalk, a sandy beach, parks, and an
aquarium. The Solbad is a very innovative architectural design, basically it is
an enclosed swimming pool with platforms for diving in the middle of the sea.
This makes it a place for tourist like ourselves want to go to because it
is a great water for people to swim in, but it also has a great architectural
design. The pool consist of a 100 meter long bridge that ends with circular
wooden structure made of quality sustainable materials, azobé wood, which is resistant to saltwater. The design shows
both quality and functionality as the circle shaped swimming area with a outer
screen that block the wind for swimmers. The screen ranges from 1.5 meters to 8
meters.The architect’s target was to make this accessible to the setting for
swimmers and a sculpture sight for a morning and evening stroll. We definitely
recognize its beauty and attract visiting this place as well as seeing night
pictures on the internet.
When we biked there that day, the weather was
not all that great. It was not tanning weather since it rained pretty hard
earlier during the last tour to ørestad. When we went, there was some
clear blue-sky from the beach to sea while the grey clouds were approaching behind
us from the city. So only a fair amount of people were there. The
Kastrup søbad display how sustainable the city of Copenhagen is because they
are using inexpensive and renewable resources such as wood to create space for
everybody to enjoy. This is also sustainable because they are using water which
is already there to create a space so that people can come by and enjoy it. The
area is also sustainable because there are green spaces all around the area
that people can hang out in and do other activities such as sunbathing, play
sports, and relax. The Kastrup Sobad is the perfect secret place for tourists
to enjoy the city of Copenhagen
