Kopenhag'ın yeni çehresi "Tuborg Havn" // The new feature of Copenhagen "Tuborg Havn"
Avrupalı şehirlerde yeni bir moda... Çevre dostu, eko-şehir. Özellikle Kuzey Avrupa'da şehircilik değince akla gelen ilk şey bu. Krizin vurmasıyla birlikte yapılan evlerin boş kalması biraz gölge vurmuş bu sürdürülebilir, eko mahallelere. Fakat görüntü ve pahalılık açısından hala bahsi çok geçen şehir köşeleri...
Tuborg Havn yani Tuborg limanı, Kopenhag'ın en nezih semti olan Hellerup'un yeni bir kısmı. Daha önceleri Tuborg fabrikasının burada bulunmasından dolayı mahallenin adı Tuborg limanı olarak kalmış. Apartmanlardan oluşuyor. Kimileri "modern ve sürdürülebilir" derken, diğerleri "taş yığını ve ruhsuz" diye eleştiriyor... Eko-şehir dedik ya, yani sürdürülebilir olması gerekli. Evet binaların yapılış tarzı, kullanılan malzemeler, hangi odanın hangi cepeye baktığı, bunların üzerinde bir hayli düşünmüş Danimarkalı mimarlar. Aslında mahalle biraz bizim İstanbul'daki yeni siteleri anımsatıyor. Fakat daha İskandinav ve daha tarz diyebilirim. Tasarımın doğduğu ülkeden de zaten böyle bir şey beklenir.
Mahalle kesinlikle üst gelir kısmı için tasarlanmış. Bu evlerin önünde demir almış yatlardan belli oluyor. Zaten Hellerup semti Danimarka'nın Upper-east side'i diyebiliriz. Tuborg Havn'daki evlerin fiyatları ise 3 trilyon TL'den başlıyor...
Gezerken benim en ilgimi çeken şey kaldırım kenarlarına yerleştirilmiş ve su kenarına çok yakışan heykeller oldu. Sokakların tasarımı gerçekten çok güzel bana göre.
Fazla yazmadan sizi fotoğraflarla baş başa bırakmak istiyorum. Fotoğraflarda tarih çıkmış kusura bakmayın :)
Ruhsuz mu, taş yığını mı, yoksa trendy ve fresh mi bunlara kendiniz cevap verebilirsiniz. Sizi etkilemek istemem.

It is a new
trend in the European cities... Environment-friendly, eco-city. Especially a
big trend for the northern European city planning. Nevertheless, because of the
financial crisis, some of the newly built condos are empty and it is hard for
the find new owners. But the talk about eco-city still keeps its strength, and
the neighborhoods that are sustainable, new and eco are still the trend of
urban.
Tuborg
Havn(Tuborg Harbour) is a part of Hellerup city, which is the most expensive
and elite part of Copenhagen. The area is named Tuborg Havn because of the
Tuborg factory that was in the area in the past.
The area is
full of new and modern apartments. Some says "modern and
sustainable", and some says "kitsch and dead alive"... I can say
that the building style of the apartments, materials that are used, the
location and so on proves that it is sustainable.
There is no
doubt that the area is designed for the upper-class people. You can easily
understand that from the boats that are staying near by the apartments. Nice
life ha? So much so that Hellerup is the upper-east side of Copenhagen. The
condos prices begin from 1.5 million Euros.
When I was
walking around in the area the thing that I liked was the sculptures, matches
gently to the water, which were placed on the sidewalks. And the environmental
design of the area is just perfect.
I don’t
want to write more, just want to leave you with the photos. Sorry for the date that
shows up on the pictures :)
Outfitters rocks!
Last week I
was in Stockholm, visiting my old friends, living in the city. Well, Stockholm
means shopping, partying, drinking rosé and enjoying every part of the city.
Hipster
Götgatan, classic Gamla Stan, exclusive Stureplan, elegant Strandvagen and
cosmopolite Plattan.
Especially
the shopping district Biblioteks Gatan (Library Avenue), is the place that I
love to hang out with some friends and try to follow the days fashion.
Basically everyone walking on that street is stylish as it actually is in the
whole country. But here it is more exclusive and trendy. From COS to Flippa K,
Acne to Hilfiger, from Ralph Lauren to Massimo...but maybe the most trendy one
is Urban Outfitters. Not only trendy and crazy clothes they do offer design
tools too. Books, cups, kitchen wares and more... Moreover the building of
Urban Outfitters gives a feeling of being in a palace! It is a huge saloon with
mezzanine! You see the picture of it below.
I always
cipher out some things from Outfitters!
Last week
my favorite one was a book! It can be really nice gift to anyone specially the
kids! But I believe that it would easily suit to your center stand in your
living room. What makes the book so special ?? Watch the video that I took for
you guys ;)

Come, Come again !
Whatever you are...
Whether you are infidel,
idolater or fireworshipper.
Whether you have broken your vows
of repentance a hundred times
This is not the gate of despair,
This is the gate of hope.

Mevlana
Mevlana, a
Turkish theosophic philiosopher. He accepts everyone, does not discriminate,
and is known by his honesty. I am not sure what his thoughts would be about
"Christiania" but, our guide in "Christiania" says just the
same things as Mevlana did. He says that in Christiania they accept everyone, doesn’t
matter who he is, where he comes from or what he does.
Christiania
is a part of Copenhagen situated in the middle of the city. Some says “the
freed place" some says "a disgrace city" and some thinks it’s
the center of narcotic.

The area
was occupied by the hippies in 70's, right after the military sources left the
area. The reason to move to the area was the hippies’ opposition to the
government of Denmark and its law, which they claimed that it wasn’t fair.
Since the early 70's the area is administrated by the hippies. Today the area
is the definition of the word "athwart". The soft drugs are allowed,
people do not pay any taxes to the Danish government, and the sprit of
hippiness still exists in the area. Moreover, Christiania hosts art centers and
concert halls, which makes the area more attractive and keeps it lively. There
are also some shops and art ateliers where you can actually find really
interesting and unique things. Especially
the Christiania Bikes are known by every Dane. Denmark is a bicycle land. Even
the parliament members bike to the parliament. Hippies of Christiania produce
really unique and good looking bikes to Danes.
Recycling
is important!
While going
around Christiania, you can easily see many houses that are built by using only
recycled materials. Christianians give a big importance to recycling. They
recycle almost everything. When the houses are built by recycled materials, and
when the architects are also from Christiania, the result is a
"athwart" architecture. Every house in the area has its own hippish
style.
Want to stay in Christiania??
You have to come to Denmark first. Then it is only two stops from the central station. Christianians welcome everyone in their area. They call it "the free country of Christiania". They also like to have new people living in the area. Right know the population of Christiania is 1000. If you want to live in the area or stay in Christiania, while you are in Copenhagen, you have to apply for a room to stay from their webside http://www.christiania.org/ .

The area of Christiania

Banana House



Everything that is built in Christiania is from the recycled products. Christianians recycle their wastes and produce new environment-friendly products. The houses that are built in Christiania are all built by using the recycled products. As this is a free-land, the style of the houses has a free-style too. Recycled materials, combines with the vast imagination of Christianians at the end we experience a totally different architectural trend.




Purity at home, purity in the wardrobe
The color of Autumn, White and grey! Pure and elegant. I like these words. And I like to use their terms for my clothes and things at home. So basic and simple can sometimes make you the most elegant and handsome... I really believe in it. Therefore today I want to share my favorite two brands, Eva Solo and Cos. As I sad before, I think a man should give importance to his lifestyle, means home and his clothes.
Eva Solo is a kitchen tool design brand. http://www.evasolo.com/page/omevasolo/ is the web site of the brand. Eva Solo is just one part of the Danish Design. They create kitchenware. They are on the stage for 100 years. The look is perfect.

Cos is a newly known brand, same company with H&M. But it is much more exclusive. It has opened its stores in Stockholm and other places some years ago. The brand became so popular in very short time. Europeans love Cos! The design is perfect and the most important thing is, it is different than any other brand. It is unique. I visited Cos in more than 3 countries, and trust me, all of them are just perfect.
The aim is! To have a cloth from Cos in your Wardrobe and to have a kitchenware from Eva Solo in your kitchen!
Both of them will be like your children. I have a carafe from Eva Solo at home, which I really proud of and I have shirts from Cos. http://www.cosstores.com is the web-site to reach Cos. They are just so unique and look perfect. I wanted to share some photos with you.
Enjoy the purity!
