A mountain in the middle of the city
After having opened SKI365, a ski slope on the roof
of the waste processing facility CopenHill designed
by the architecture firm BIG in Denmark, the Amager
Group has now drawn back the curtain on the world's
highest rock-climbing wall delivered by Walltopia,
making it possible for mountain sports lovers to train
in downtown Copenhagen.
B
IG, who won the bid to build
the project, has created a facility with an avant-garde, cut-out
design. Visible from the centre of
the city, this waste-to-energy plant is
at the heart of an innovative project
whose aim is to incorporate industrial buildings into urban planning, by
giving them new functions. In this
context, the facility offers inhabitants
a way to get exercise in the middle of
the urban environment, an initiative
that is rethinking the place and role
reserved for buildings in urban areas.
At 80m high, with a total useable surface of
1,200m2, the Copen Hill
wall built by Walltopia
in Copenhagen,
Denmark, is the
largest rock-climbing
wall in the world.

Diversifying
the functions of a building
Since 2019, on the fringe of its primary function of producing energy, this
facility has also embraced a mission
to promote sports and exercise in urban environments. BIG had already
achieved a first and spectacular step
in this project by creating an XXL recreational space the size of the plant's
entire rooftop, which features a dry
ski slope accessible to the population.
In July 2020, they realized the second
step in development, by unveiling
the highest rock-climbing wall in the
world, at 80m tall, which is integrated
into the building's facade. It's enough
to thrill rock climbing enthusiasts.
The wall is reserved for experienced
climbers, and the four different routes
comprise real physical challenges. But
before giving visitors a chance to try
out the holds, there were numerous
challenges to resolve in terms of design, technical aspects and materials
forming.
