CopenHill is a 41,000m2 new breed of waste-to-energy plant with an urban recreation center and environmental education hub, turning social infrastructure into an architectural landmark. The plant, which features the ski slope, the climbing wall, hiking and running trails, and a rooftop bar, converts 440,000 tons of waste annually and powers 150,000 homes. The 10,000m2 green roof addresses the challenging micro-climate of an 85m high park, rewilding a biodiverse landscape while absorbing heat, removing air particulates and minimizing stormwater runoff.
