Nordkraft | CUBO Arkitekter

The former power station Nordkraft in Aalborg has been converted into a cultural centre for music, scenic and athletic activities. The main idea behind the Nordkraft conversion is to create a diverse architectural framework as the basis for infusing new life and content into the building. The vision adds to and builds on the inherent characteristics of Nordkraft, for instance to retain the beautiful interior high-ceilinged rooms and to re-use the large concrete structures of industrial architecture. The first part opened in 2009. Official opening 2011. Nordkraft was one of 6 nominated projects for the “Renover Prisen 2013” (Best Danish Renovation Prize). Nordkraft offers a wide range of cultural activities (Cinema, music venue, theater, art gallery, sports…) as well as youth education and parts of Aalborg University + Visit Aalborg, Aalborg Healthcare Center, cafés/restaurants… Project team: Architect: Cubo Arkitekter and Nord Landscape Architect: Egebjerg By- og Landskab Engineer: Korsbæk & Partnere and Brix & Kamp
