South Campus (University of Copenhagen)

The 20,000-square-metre public plaza Karen Blixens Plads os a focal point for outdoor life in the area.

Completed in 2019 to designs by local architectural firm Cobe, it is one of the largest public spaces of its kind in the city.

The domed structures are cast concrete shells with rounded openings, clad with hand-laid tiles in pale colours that match the exteriors of the surrounding buildings.

Steps cut into the sides of the larger concrete hills allow the space to double as an outdoor auditorium, which can be used for concerts, performances and other public events.

Islands Brygge Station is located next to the campus, on the corner of Njalsgade and Ørestad Boulevard, serving the M1 line of the Copenhagen Metro.
