stir copenhagen: design, culture, and your senses
an extraordinary design tour for your senses
“Stir Copenhagen was a well-organized and carefully considered trip to a location that appreciates and embodies smart design applications. Copenhagen is a unique, special place—but the organizers helped to isolate important attributes that make the city unique. These ideas become useful sources for further examination upon returning to the US where the political, social, and environmental climate is very different (and in need of important design improvements).”
