The vision of the music plaza in Copenhagen is to create an urban space for vivid and involved urbanity. All day,  week and year.

Music Plaza is one of the most important urban spaces on Amager south of central Copenhagen. The task is therefore to use the existing potentials of the area while creating a new specific identity for the urban space. An identity that works as a unifying factor, and creates a setting for a versatile urbanity.

Our vision for the Music Plaza is therefore build up by a simple concept that feeds a versatile  urban life and creates a gathering point in eyelevel. A node that creates a poetic, musical,  cultural and urban synergy for Amager and the Copenhagen area.
