Yes, it's a... voluptuous... way to open a place. 
Perhaps it'll catch on?
A little stroll back to the 70's where nudity in the day to day scenery wasn't that big a deal - nor being viewed with as much hypocrisy as today.

"voluptuous" - that's a good way to put it.  I am wondering what that has to do with architecture (LOL!)...but maybe it means a glittery new building or something. Frederik goes home and Mary asks..how was your day dear? LOL.
Also, when I saw photos of the library I thought it was still under construction!! It is more minimal that IKEA furniture!

Perhaps because she is well-build? 
Yeah, yeah, you have to admit that one was irresistible.
Indeed. Keep it simple but highly functional and you have defined the essence of Scandinavian design - and architecture.
BTW we have a few problems getting Ikea-stuff here in DK these days, not due to lack of drivers, but because there isn't enough cardboard to back the furnitures safely.
The costs of importing stuff into DK has gone up, and there are often delays. But exporting stuff from DK outside EU is no problem.
The reason is lack of containers in China, - well, Asia as a whole. That's where the stuff that is imported to DK is produced, but during the lockdowns people ordered lots of things from abroad, and that meant containership after containership sailing out of China in particular. But as there were lockdowns in Europe and USA, the main destinations, it has taken time to off load these containers at their destinations.
So that means that fewer containers have been shipped back to China.
And in China the store are filled to the brim with wares that are to be shipped out, but there are currently not enough containers to put the wares in.
So baisically every container the company I work for send to China, is almost welcomed by brass bands at the harbors.

Wow...well, we are having delays getting things here in the US. They keep talking about the back up at Long Beach Port especially. I am in the process of having an order filled at my grocery store and the shelves are empty for many items. I am being told it is that they have not received stock in and are low on merch! Amazon seems to be getting me my items on time for the most part! Maybe I should try placing my grocery order to China! LOL. Maybe they will have my croissants and cereal!!
I do like the look of that new library tbh. I mean do these students really need ornate carvings, etc to study? But it did take me a second to realize that that was the intended design of the library.
Added: The naked woman apparently is a live installation titled "Hyperoganism". A soprano, Anne Mette Pødenphant, came out on sitting on a platform naked with like strobe lights timed to her singing. It is supposed to a sensual experience of primordial power. It was created by Alex Mørch. Anne proceeded to crush stones of clay into some vessel which produced steam. Every once in a while she played the cello.
Seems there was a pomegranate involved at some point. Well....that seems uhm...interesting!

Wearing the full dress uniform of a major general of the army.
We usually see him wearing the navy uniform.

Glad to see him looking much cheerier in the last three posts than he was at the opening of Parliament. They all looked rather glum.
He is so good when dealing with young ones.

The regiment has now turned 363 years. The Royal Lifeguard Regiment is by no means the oldest Danish regiment, several are around 50 years old.
The concept of having standing regular regiments came about early in the 1600's in DK. Prior to that the king had housecarls and nobles were responsible for raising local regiments.
But the threat to Denmark, especially from Sweden, was by now such that permanent regiments had to be raised.
The Royal Lifeguard Regiment was formed to become the monarch's personal regiment, directly responsible for protecting the royal family - and if need be, a loyal unit for putting down an uprising in Copenhagen if need be. Just in case...
Of immediate interest to me, is what role this staff officer plays in this parade:

https://scontent-lax3-2.xx.fbcdn.net...7b&oe=61875D85
And why he and his two staff members, have such a prominent place.
I can't make out the unit markings, but the uniforms and insignias points clearly towards an Anglo-Saxon country. I.e. Britain, Canada, New Zealand or Australia.

I believe a regiment from Britain (the Royal Regiment of the Princess of Wales) took part in today's events.

Always thankful for the extra info. In the gallery it states,
"The Royal Lifeguard's English sister regiment, the Princess of Wales Royal Regiment, attended with some selected representatives."

You are both right.
I got a PM from another member, who kindly told me that the foreign soldiers are indeed from the Princess of Wales Royal Regiment, for whom QMII is honorary colonel.

BB reports that Frederik during his speech at the LIFE Campus, mentioned his father-in-law. And said that he would absolutely love this place. Because when he taught as a mathematics professor, he very much used applied teaching. That could be illustrating his lessons with golf balls, or whatever is handy. - So Donaldson would find this campus that is based on applied teaching most useful.

He mentions it from the rostrum in this video.
