Kongespillet

I learned a new game last weekend! It is called kongespil or kubb. The goal of the game is to knock over wooden blocks on the opposing side by throwing wooden batons at them, and then knock the "king" over, before the opponent does.



It is a so cool game. I absolutely love it and look forward to playing again! :)

Quiche, Ice Cream and Networking Nature

Taking pictures of food I cooked seems to be my new obsession.



Anyway, I enjoyed another sunny and productive day in Copenhagen on Monday. I spent some time studying Danish at home, washing laundry, trying new quiche recipe, sunbathing in Nyhavn, and eating the best ice cream in the city. And before my regular Danish classes started, I also made it to a super interesting lecture at Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (CIID).

The lecture was called Networking Nature and was hold by an Italian couple from the design office Studiomobile. I was pretty impressed by their eco-urban concepts and their believes in the adaptation to climate changes.

They designed different ecosystems living off seawater in the past years. Their biggest experimental project is called Jellyfish Barge. It is a nomadic public space for farming built with recycled materials and low cost technologies. It would be so cool, if these floating islands would be produced in developing countries, don't you think?
