Bagsværd Church

Abstract

Dictated by its position on a main road on the periphery of Copenhagen, this elongated, stepped building seems at first glance ostentatiously introverted. One sees a concrete structure with wide, solid north-south gable walls and long east-west flanks. The roof of the centre structure and the roofs of the structures on either side contrast with one another: the former, oblique surfaces of vertically profiled aluminium and the latter, low pitched surfaces of glass and steel. Large format white tiles cover the upper sections of the external walls; the rising and falling of the exterior loosely corresponds to the line of the vaulted interior.
