Abstract

Although Aalborg, Denmark, has historically been an industrial city, such activity has been
leaving. One of the latest examples of this is the relocation of the Aalborg Akvavit production
to Norway. In an attempt to pay homage to the distinctive spirit produced by Aalborg
Akvavit and its unique manufacturing facilities, its former production site will be
transformed into Cloud City –a hub for innovation, art, technology and culture. One of the
planned projects is the Spirit Center, a micro-distillery whose primary ambition is to
represent and dignify the history and heritage of the Akvavit Distillery in the city. On five
floors, the Spirit Center will hold a showroom exhibiting the spirit production, an Akvavit
tasting area, the micro-distillery itself, a restaurant/bar and an open rooftop garden.
