DTU: The Technical University of Denmark


6 May 2010

Denmark's Technical University is in Kongens Lyngby, a small city about 10 km north of Copenhagen.



The campus is highly rectilinear with a "functional modern" architectural style. The streets have a predominantly orthogonal layout. (Apparently, the campus was built on a former airfield.)



Even though major elements are sterile, the chronically low sun angle at the high latitude combines with the sometimes bright blue sky and fresh spring foliage to generate interesting patterns of form and shadow.

You really narrowed in on your subject here, I like that. Suggestion: for the second picture, I think it could be straightened just a bit. On the right side the wall looks a snitch lower.

I miss you guys a lot.
