Handover of the model for BLOXHUB (DK)
On 08.01.2018, Dominik Darasz, on behalf of the architectural firm Horizone (member of SPCleantech) and SPCleantech, handed over a three-dimensional model of the newly established BLOXHUB headquarters, of which SPCleantech is a member. The BLOX building, located in the very center of Copenhagen above the main canal, will be officially taken into use on 01.05.2018 and will also be the headquarters of SPCleantech in Copenhagen.
After traveling over 1000 km and nearly 12 hours of travel, the model of the central part of the capital of Denmark, with the highlighted building of the new BLOXHUB headquarters in Copenhagen reached its destination.
The model is the contribution of HORIZONE, a member of South Poland Cleantech Cluster, to the international collaboration between companies in the new technology sector. Model – permanently – will be exhibited in the entrance hall of the newly built BLOX building designed by Rem Koolhaas and OMA (it is visible in the central place of the model, illuminated building).
The model was personally delivered by Dominik Darasz, handed over to BLOXHUB director Torben Klitgaarden in the presence of Martin Kahl, Cleantech Cluster representative in Copenhagen.
Model 110: 110 x 110 cm scale made of maple wood was created in the studio of Horizone Graphics in Krakow.
The designer of the Blox building (40,000 m2) is the world-famous Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and his OMA company.
