Danish firm Henning Larsen Architects designed this wedge-shaped museum near Aarhus with a planted roof that rises from the sloping landscape to create a site for picnics in summer and sledging in winter. Positioned on the side of a hill in the suburb known as Skåde, the building is partly submerged in its rural site and features a roof that slopes more steeply than the terrain to create an angular section. The museum is shortlisted for the Mies van der Rohe Award 2015.
