Blok P was the largest residential building in Nuuk, as well as the largest in all of Greenland . It contained around 320 apartments and it is said that approximately 1% of the total population of the entire country lived in the building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Greenland: The Last Great Place - Greenlandic Architecture )〕 The building was demolished on 19 October 2012.〔(Lea Wind-Friis: "Berømt og berygtet grønlandsk bygning fik dramatisk afslutning", tilgået 19-10-2012 )〕 ==History== The building was built and erected in 1965–1966 as part of the Danish parliament's Folketinget programme since 1953 to modernize and urbanize the Greenlandic infrastructure by moving people away from the coastal settlements which were deemed "unprofitable, unhealthy and unmodern". When it was built it was the largest building construction in what was then the Kingdom of Denmark. The size and floor plan of the apartments were entirely unsuitable for the Inuit lifestyle, with narrow doorways making it difficult, or sometimes impossible to enter and exit wearing thick cold weather clothing, and common European style wardrobes were too small to store fishing gear. This gear was then stored on the balconies, blocking fire exits and creating a security hazard.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.artonline.jp/BGWG/mikestaffan/index.html )〕 During the first years there were minor problems with coagulated blood clogging up the drainage, stemming from the fishermen using the only available reasonable place to carve up their catch: the bathtubs. The building was only five stories high but at a length of 64 apartments, translating to over 200 metres, it cut right across Nuuk in an east-west direction. Block P was generally viewed very unfavourably by the local population, and it was even presented to tourists as "so depressing that it's almost an attraction in itself".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.lonelyplanet.com/greenland/nuuk-town-godthab/sights/other/block-p )〕 There are no concrete plans for Blok P area yet, however since July 2013 the commune has developed a community building project called 'Nuuk Playground', designed to address the needs of the community.〔http://www.thefourthcontinent.com/2013/06/05/just-add-sand-beach-volleyball-the-arctic-and-nuuk-playground〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blok P」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
