You know a building has become a landmark when everybody knows it by name. But this is no museum or theatre - it's a school. AP Møller is tucked away on the outskirts of pretty Schleswig, a town in northern Germany surrounded by fields and the shimmering waters of Schlei fjord. It's been open for a year and has been drawing the crowds thanks to its stand-out architecture. So far around 27,000 people have visited and it's not hard to see why. With its graceful silhouette, transparent design and use of natural materials, this building is a masterclass in Danish simplicity and elegance.
