So like the Danish have like this totally cool new school. OMG, I’m so jealous! It’s like all built around this super sweet open area that can be seen from almost every floor. The floors are like these stacked up boomerang thingys. It’s sooo cool, it’s like a big mall. Oh and they have these super sweet orange pillows for people to just chill on or myspace till your fingers bleed or totally spy on Stephanie. I know she is totally a liar. Anyways, from what I heard, like right outside Copenhagen, there is like this ton of young people like my age (16-19) and so they had to build this massive school. It’s out there in the burbs in an area they call Ørestad or whatever. Anyways again, they call it “Ørestad College”, can you believe that? That means their hoodies say “OC” on them, OMG! I am so jealous. Laters…

The demographic development in greater Copenhagen has resulted in a remarkable growth of the 16 – 19 year group, with Copenhagen needing 50% more study places, and this led to a decision to build a new college in Ørestad City; the new city centre for the entire Ørestad.
Ørestad College offers fields of study within science, social science and human science. The purpose of the college is to realize the latest reform’s (2005) aims to strengthen and renew the students’ professional capabilities, to prepare the students better for university and to enhance the science aspect. This college has chosen a profile of media, communication and culture, and with wireless internet all over the school and with laptops for all students - hence the knick-name the Virtual College.
Four boomerang shaped storey decks rotate in relation to each other like the shutter of a camera. They form the superstructure; the overall framework of the college, and provide space for the college’s four study zones. Each zone is on one level, providing organisational flexibility, with the option of micro adjustment to create different spaces, learning environments and group sizes. The rotation of the storey decks projects a part of each deck into the high central hall. This part is the so called X-zone; a spatial expression of the colleges’ ambition to promote interdisciplinary expertise between study zones with physical and visual links.
The storey decks are open towards a central core, where a broad main staircase winds its way upwards to the roof terrace. The main staircase is the heart of college educational and social life; the primary connection up an down, but also a place to stay, watch and be seen. Three ‘mega columns’ form the primary load bearing system, supplemented by a number of smaller columns positioned according to structural requirement, not as part of a regular grid. As a result, each floor has few permanent elements and can be laid out and rearranged almost completely at will.

喜欢丹麦这所酷气十足的新学校。上帝啊，我真是太羡慕了！从每层楼上都可以看到如此芬芳的空旷场地。楼层就像是叠加起来的回飞棒。真是太酷了，就像个大商场一样。里面还有漂亮的橘黄色枕头供人们休憩，还可以在自己的个人空间里玩到手指发麻，亦或仅仅只是窥视一个叫斯蒂芬妮的女孩。我知道她完全是个骗子。不管怎样，据我所知，就是在哥本哈根外面，有一群像我一样年纪（16-19）的年轻人创建了这样了不起的学校。建造在郊区，他们称它为Ørestad或者其他名字。反正不管怎么样，他们叫它“Ørestad学院”，你相信吗？这意味着他们喜欢称乎它为“OC”，天啊！真是太羡慕了。稍后……

哥本哈根人口的快速发展导致了16-19岁人口的急剧膨胀，以至于哥本哈根需要50%多的教学场地，所以就产生了在Ørestad建造一所新学院的决定，在Ørestad市的全部中心地带。
Ørestad学院开通的科目有自然科学研究领域，社会科学和人文科学。大学的目标是为了实现最新的改革目标（2005）中所提倡的加强和更进学生的专业知识，为学生进入大学和社会做更好的准备。这所学院采用了多媒体，通讯和文化，全校用无线网络覆盖，为所有的学生配置笔记本电脑，因此Knick命明它为虚拟学院。
四层相互联系的像回飞棒形状的楼层的装饰板就像照相机的快门。它们组成了上层建筑，是学院的总体结构，给学生们提供了四个学习的场所。每个的区域都是在一个水平线上，拥有灵活的组织，另外还有可以创造不同空间，不同学习环境和容纳不同大小团队的多功能调节作用。楼层上每个旋转装饰板的一部分都对着中央大厅。这部分就是所谓的X区域。这样的空间表达理念充分显示出学院致力于在实质和视觉享受为一体的学习场所间提高学科间的专业技术。
楼层的装饰板统一向着中央，中央部分有个宽大的向着屋顶阳台旋转而上的主楼梯。这个主楼梯是学院学习和交际的中央地带，对楼上楼下的连接起了很重大的作用，也是供人停留，观看和被观赏的地方。三个巨型圆柱是最主要的承载系统，按照建筑需求，旁边还有一些补充的小圆柱，并不是做为一个常规的格子的。因此，每层楼的固定元素很少，大部分都是可以完全随意地重新安置摆设的。
