Smoking zones

Reflective pavilions

The sculptural smoking zones are tailor-made for Copenhagen University, mirroring the surroundings to blend seamlessly into different settings at the Copenhagen Science Campus. The chameleon-like smoking zones are the result of the university’s updated smoking policy, which stipulates that students and employees cannot smoke within a 10-meter perimeter of the university’s buildings. Therefore, the design of smoking zones is carefully created to intrigue and encourage students, researchers, and administrative personnel to step away from the building. The modular concept creates an open-ended design, which can be combined in various compositions that softly connect to the surroundings as well as create an exterior hot spot for social gatherings, sheltered from wind and rain, and just as attractive to those not smoking.
