Here is the new Maersk Building - the graphics

The new laboratory tower at the Panum Institute, Faculty of Health and Medicine Sciences, the Maersk building, is a foray into sustainable architechture. It combines state-of-the-art laboratories with green roofs, solar panels, moveable shutters and bike-friendly surroundings. The new copper tower is expected to generate enough water and energy to be 50 per cent self-sufficient.

While the tower itself will be working laboratories and as such is not open to the general public, the top floor is intended to be a public space, with an open view of the entire Greater Copenhagen area and Øresund.

In the gallery below, you can see blow-ups of the different segments of the building.
