The Great Belt Link, Denmark

In 1988 D+W was selected for the comprehensive task as architects for the Great Belt Link and, together with landscape architect Jørgen Vesterholt, has been responsible for the design of all visible structures and their fitting in the landscape. In addition D+W has developed the general guidelines and specifications for the detailed design of equipment and permanent buildings, lighting, signs, surfaces and colours.

The overall aim has been to ensure that the Great Belt Link appears as a visually clear, easily understood whole which, given its enormous size, dovetails harmoniously with the landscape.
