I was watching the Tour of Denmark recently, and they showed this Olafur Eliasson building when the peloton was near it. The commentators didn't identify it, but this morning I came across an article about a monograph of his work. Turns out it's an office for some Lego heirs' investment company: https://www.dezeen.com/2018/06/04/o...nhus-office-vejle-fjord-denmark-architecture/ He also designed the mirrored orb sculpture in front of the Chase Center here in SF (sadly, recently vandalized).

Apparently there is a large group of people pushing back on modern architecture in the Nordics.

A Nordic Revolt Against ‘Ugly’ Modern Architecture

A movement known as Architectural Uprising is pushing back against Scandinavian design trends — and sometimes forcing architects back to the drawing board.
