Superkilen brings together urban "objects" from the different cultures of the people living in the area: street furnishings and games from 60 different countries, with a steel plaque near each explaining its origin.
The team of designers from BIG architectural studios, Topotek1 landscape architects and artists from the Superflex group divided up the area into three zones, each identified by a different colour: green, black and red. Surfaces, colours and plants form dynamic settings for street furnishings in each zone.
The project has been presented with the 2013 National Honor Award of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The judges called the project "a joy" because of the energy it conveys, its interesting approach to today?s multicultural society and the way the local people were involved in the project.
