We saw a lot of towers, statues and similar structures inspired by different objects. In fact, it would be better if we did not see structures such as giant tea cups and giant olives. But don’t worry, this time you will come across a good example of structures built as a ‘giant version of something’.
Meet the observation tower inspired by the DNA model that greets visitors in a national park in Denmark. The 25-meter-high Marsk Tower is not only the symbolic monument of the Wadden Sea National Park; it also connects visitors with unique North Sea views.
Offers a unique view of the Wadden Sea
The construction of Marsk Tower was inspired by the helical structure of DNA. The observation tower, originally built for its function, has already become a symbol monument with this design. The building, the construction of which was almost completed last year, was opened to visitors last August.
Designed by an architectural firm known for this type of work, the Bjarke Ingels Group, the double spiral tower features two different directions in its spiral staircase. To put it more clearly, the 146-step spiral guides the visitor upwards, while the 131-step spiral brings it down. In the middle of the spirals, there is an elevator for those who say “I get blocked”. When you climb to the top, you reach 36 meters above sea level.
