Baroque Church Orangery Denmark leadA famous Roman church designed by Francesco Borromini got a luminescent reinvention with this translucent <a href="https://inhabitat.com/tag/temporary-pavilion/" target="_blank">orangery pavilion</a> in Denmark. Danish studio <a href="http://lenschowpihlmann.dk/" target="_blank">Lenschow & Pihlmann</a> wrapped a steel structure with a plastic envelope to create an orangery with plants hanging from the dome. The space was envisioned as a way to blend classic Baroque ideals with modern sensibility.1
