The much debated neighbourhood of Gellerup, in Denmark’s second largest city Aarhus, is in a process of transformation. The area is being rethought, and one of the ideas is to move 950 municipal workplaces to the centre of the area. Arkitema Architects has been appointed the winners of the public-private-partnership competition for a 23,000 sq m building, that will integrate municipal work and meeting spaces, a variety of public functions such as restaurants and cafes, an entrepreneurial start-up environment, and a public rooftop lounge housing the municipal "City Lab".
