Modern Architecture of Copenhagen
The Kastrup Sea Bath
"The Kastrup Sea Baths, situated off-shore in the Øresund Sound, has great views of the Saltholm Island and Sweden. This is an architectural pearl and a truly magical place that offers good swimming opportunities with protection against the wind.

Facilities include changing rooms with showers and lockers. For those interested in taking the plunge, there are 3 as well as 5-meter diving boards on the platform. The sea is deep here and families with children are advised to swim in the shallow waters off the beach.

At night, spotlights embedded in the wooden deck create a beautiful indirect lighting effect at the Sea Baths." - https://www.visitdenmark.com/denmark/kastrup-sea-bath-gdk412208
THE MARITIME MUSEUM OF DENMARK
"At The Maritime Museum of Denmark you will experience a piece of iconic architecture built below ground around an old dry dock in front of Kronborg Castle. The award winning architecture is designed by the internationally renowned architects from BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group. In 2013 the museum opened around an old dry dock. The museum’s site is one where, between 1882 and 1985, one of Denmark’s most significant and progressive modern shipyards were located. From a distance the museum is almost invisible. Suddenly, one encounters the abyss of an old concrete dry dock, traversed by glass and aluminium-clad bridges and stairs, arranged as a dramatic, multi-angular composition."

The National Aquarium Denmark ("Den Blå Planet")
"The National Aquarium Denmark – Den Blå Planet on Amager is Denmark’s new architectural landmark.
The building’s architecture was inspired by a whirlpool. From the entrance, guests step into the vortex of the whirlpool – the curved lobby – and from here are drawn out to the 53 aquariums and installations. 

Den Blå Planet, Northern Europe’s largest and most state-of-the-art aquarium, is conveniently situated near the Metro, railway connections, motorway and Copenhagen Airport.Whether you arrive by land, sea or air, you can’t miss the National Aquarium Denmark.
Architect and turnkey consultants: 3XN A/S"
