Reminded me of my own daughter on the other side of the world and a photo I took of her in connection to the Roskilde version of the project in 2010. 


The Zero Carbon Building is right next to the Gigantic Mega Box, that also included an IKEA, where brunch was had, including Swedish Meatballs. The above image is taken from Mega Box in the morning before the event started. See image above this, for the YELLOW IKEA branded Electric Car that can be seen in the streets of Copenhagen.
