Bye, bye cars – hello fruit , Denmark
Contemplating what could be done with a boring grey parking lot, architect Hans Peter Hagens had a creative idea: to turn it into an organic food market. Little did he know that this was going to become the new hype on Copenhagen’s food market scene. He proposed the concept to the Municipality of Copenhagen back in 1997 and travelled all around the world to study other examples. The market finally opened its doors in September 2011.

A medieval guild, Estonia
The artists hosted in St Catherine’s passage in the medieval part of Tallinn’s old town are united by a guild. But they have not sworn eternal loyalty to each other, but to you: the so-called ‘Katariina Guild’ is the idea that visitors should be able to witness the processes behind each artisan’s creations. Wandering along cobbled streets, visitors can observe work first-hand in the artists’ studios, showcasing an array of textiles, ceramics, millenary, fine leatherwork, patchwork, jewelry and hot glass.
