Copenhagen’s aquatic centre - The Waterfall - is part of the masterplan for Paper Island, also designed by COBE, and consists of one large public hall containing aquatic activities and facilities for clubs and associations, connected by a continuous cascading flow of waterfalls. Gathered under one roof, the auquatics center follows the distinctive roof motif on Paper Island with large sloping surfaces and gables oriented towards the waterfront. With a simple gesture of twisting the top, the aquatics centre adresses both the harbour and the inner courtyard on Paper Island, becomming a part of the informal, vivid public life on the island as well as placing it amongst some of the most important cultural institutions along the harbour front of Copenhagen.
