The Battery is a project about integration. It seeks to facilitate the cultural integration of Islamic and Danish culture, by incorporating the first mosque ever built in Denmark, in the centre of a complex consisting of housing, shopping, leisure, and sports facilities. It seeks to bring together the three disjoined quarters of Islandsbrygge, Amagerbro and Ørestad in one overlapping urban activity centre.And finally it seeks to fuse landscape and architecture, the built and the unbuilt environment, into a unified urban topography of man made peaks, valleys, cliffs, and caves. Architecture free from the stylistic straightjacket - free to create new associations from the architectonic spectrum.
