Copenhill

Most tourists to Copenhagen want to see its famous sights: the statue of the Little Mermaid in the harbour, the Tivoli Gardens, old palaces and museums. The Danish capital is also famous for its beautiful modern buildings, and in 2019 another building was completed in the city: the Amager Resource Centre (ARC), also known as Copenhill. It has many visitors, but it is unusual because it is not a hotel, a bank, an office block, a museum or a shopping centre. It is a waste resource centre. This means that 400,000 tons of rubbish are brought inside the building every year. There, it is burned to heat 150,000 homes and make electricity for 550,000 people.

7. 7. Which statement is true?

•   A   Old buildings in Copenhagen are not as beautiful as modern ones.

• B   Tourists prefer Copenhagen’s old buildings to its modern ones.

• C   Visitors to Copenhagen can enjoy a variety of different sights.

Copenhill

.....

However, Bjarke Ingels, the architect who designed Copenhill, wanted the 90-metre-high building to do more than burn rubbish. It is the only place in the country where people can go skiing. The roof is like a mountain with a 400-metre ski slope. It is not white, but green: bright green in the middle and dark green at the sides. Ingels chose green because white would get dirty too quickly. Visitors can also go snowboarding, running or walking on Copenhill, and after an enjoyable day of activity they can relax in the cafe. The outside of the building also has the world’s highest climbing wall: 85 metres! The idea that a building can have many very different uses is exciting, and it will be interesting to see what Copenhagen will offer visitors in the future.

9. 9   The ski slope

•       A   is inside the Copenhill building.

• B   is 90 metres in length.

• C   is on the roof of the building.
