Superkilen

Superkilen is a public space in Nørrebro designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, Superflex and Topotek1. Since opening in 2012, it has created a diverse experience, and combined with its vision of creating a park that would bring people together, it is the perfect place to hang out or explore.
