Update 050513
The two pictures below were taken by Kristian Mollenborg 092408 and are displayed here under CC 2.0 terms; the first is a cool external shot and the second an interior shot which shows the Futuro configured for use as Løgstrup's employee canteen 
Original Information 093011 This video is actually documenting the history and renovation of the French Futuro that was located at La Défense, Paris in the 1970's but it does feature a couple of shots of this double Futuro right at the end [4:35] following the teasing heading "The adventure continues in 2011 ..."; we will have to wait and see what that actually means and whether or not it relates to the French Futuro or to these two here in Kvistgård. I have only come across one photo of this set of Futuros, CC or otherwise - it is by www.unbexadventures.com and can be found here [if you have or know of any I could use please let me know] but I did think the "Bird's Eye" perspective in Bing Maps was quite interesting and so I grabbed a screen shot of it [see this perspective in Bing Maps].

Update 050513
The two photos at left by Kristian Mollenborg were taken back on 092408 but only came to my attention recently. One is an interior shot which clearly shows the Futuro set up as what appears to be some kind of a canteen. That the Futuro's serve as Løgstrup's canteen is confirmed in a Feb 4th post on the Løgstrup Facebook page which includes a screenshot from Google Street View showing the Futuros accompanied by the following text: "Has Google Street view found UFO's at Løgstrup Denmark? No it's just Futuro homes, a kind of transportable ski lodge. Now it is our canteen. The picture was voted #2 in top Google Street View pictures in Denmark." Update 062212 I was incorrect in associating this pair of Futuros with Nordcoll. The Futuros actually sit on the campus of the company Løgstrup. Unfortunately as is the case with Nordcoll the company website has no information relating to the Futuros. My thanks to Len Peltier for this information. Additionally Google Earth now has updated satellite imagery which places the Futuros on site as of 053111. Original Information 093011 There appears to be virtually no information about this pair of Futuros on the web or at least if there is I am not searching in the right places. They sit on the property of the company Nordcoll but the company website does not appear to reference them at all. They do appear to be in excellent condition and are attached to each other and to the main building so the best guess is that they are still in use; perhaps as office space, meeting rooms - who knows. If anyone has any information please let me know. Since I cannot find any dated images of the Futuros it is difficult to ascertain a definitive date on which their presence at the location can be confirmed. The Google Maps imagery showing them in dated 123006; the "Street View" is likely to be later but Google does not release the dates of "Street View" imagery. The video perhaps gives the best information. The French Futuro renovation was completed in 2010 so the video could not have been made prior to that. In addition the end of the video where the Kvistgård Futuros are shown is prefaced with a "teaser" referencing 2011 so based on that I am saying that 2011 is the "confirmed" date for these Futuros. Sources & Reference
Got new, updated or corrected information or an image I could use?
I am always looking for additional information, history, details, images, videos; just about anything Futuro I guess - if you would like to contribute please use the Futuro Contact Form at the bottom of the main article or email me. As far as images go I am particularly interested in those that are either significantly better than the ones already on this page or show a different aspect or detail. If you own an image meeting one or both of those criteria I would love to be able to use it on this page but I will simply provide a link if that is your preference. Where permission is granted to use an image on the page appropriate attribution will be provided by means of a link to the original image, a link to a website of your choosing or both. |
