Episodes
1. Hjørring’s Dismal Town Centre
In Hjørring, the old slaughterhouse grounds were to be transformed into a vibrant town center—but all the grand visions for the new square have vanished. Ane Cortzen asks whether an architect was present at Bispetorv.
2. Coastal Nightmare on Bornholm
On the “sunshine island,” two rows of newly built blocks sparked drama in the small fishing village of Tejn. The new harbor homes were placed so far into the water’s edge that the sea has eroded beneath them. Ane Cortzen wonders if there was truly an architect on site.
3. The School Scandal in Skærbæk
How does a brand-new school become a massive scandal? Ane Cortzen investigates this question in Skærbæk, asking whether an architect was present during the construction of Tønder Municipality’s largest public building ever.
4. The Failed Future Town
What was meant to be one of the largest urban development projects collapsed completely. Ane Cortzen visits Vinge, intended as the future town outside Frederikssund—and in the middle of the field, she searches for signs that an architect was ever involved.
