Industriens Hus

The building is located at the corner of H. C. Andersens Boulevard and Vesterbrogade, opposite the City Hall Square, in Copenhagen, Denmark.

An architectural competition was won by Arne Jacobsen in 1965 but his proposal was met with fierce opposition and was never realized.

[3] After Jacobsen's death in 1971, Jørgen Buschardt was charged with the task of designing the building, first alone and later in association with Erik Møller, but their proposal was not realized either.

Two floors were added so that the building now reaches eight storeys towards the street while it gradually drops towards Tivoli Gardens to reduce the impact on the historic premises.

The glazed façade consists of 3,331 5-square metres pieces of glass and features 3.9 km of LED panels with more than 80,000 diodes.
