HUMLEBÆK SYDDette projekt tager dets afsæt i den åbne internationale byplan konkurrence for Humlebæk Syd udskrevet i juni 2011. Kommunen ønsker med projektet at skabe et boligområde af høj arkitektonisk kvalitet med fokus på klima og bæredygtighed, diversitet i arkitektur, landskab og beboere og social kontakt. I projektets analyse problematiseres en række forhold skabt under den modernistiske planlægning Humlebæk er et resultat af. Herunder findes den separerede trafik og de usammenhængende monotone grønne strukturer problematiske. Især findes den ekstensive brug af enklaven som urban form problematisk, som opstår i kraft af ensartede boligtypologier og ejerformer. Projektet lægger ud med en kritik af nutidige projekter hvor en fortsat anvendelse af enklaven synes at forefindes. Dette på trods af en fortsat stigende bevidsthed omkring enklaven som væsentlig årsag til

polarisering af samfundet. Humlebæk Syd er et åbent område der ligger i forbindelse med Humlebæk. I dag er området anvendt til agerbrug, men med enkelte gennemgående stiforbindelser der sikrer adgang til området for Humlebæks Borgere. Området tilbyder i dag byens borgere lange uafbrudte gå og cykelture med store vider og en udsigt der langt overgår de funktionalistiske grønne rum der findes indenfor bygrænsen. Ligeledes rummer Humlebæk Syd flere beskyttede habitater og dyrearter, herunder diverse flagermus og padeforekomster. Sitekonceptet for Humlebæk Syd tager afsæt i en pragmatisk proces hvor de mest essentielle natur- og landskabskvaliteter sikres forud. Derved defineres områder for et bygget miljø der tilgodeser stedets kvaliteter. Ved denne proces tegner der sig en overordnet struktur der også bliver sitekonceptets hovedgreb. Området inddeles i seks

nord -sydgående bånd hvoraf fire er landskabsbånd og to er bybånd. De fire landskabsbånd udvikles med hver deres landskabskarakteristik baseret på deres nuværende stedsmæssige kvaliteter. Hvert bånd indrettes med en nord -sydgående stiforbindelse der sikrer tilgængelighed internt og fra Humlebæk til det enkelte bånd. Tværgående stier i en øst-vestgående retning tilføjes ligeledes. Hermed muliggøres det at opleve et enkelt landskabs- eller bybånd i dens helhed eller at bevæge sig på tværs og opleve områdets diversitet. De to bybånd tager udgangspunkt i ønsket om at skabe nye bydele der ikke vil opleves som lukkede enklaver. Derfor forlænges to af byens stamveje ind i Humlebæk syd og bliver hovedgader i området. Frem for den separerede trafik der har kendetegnet store dele af Humlebæk indtil i dag, samles alt trafik i en hovedgade for at intensivere oplevelsen af liv.

For at intensivere denne yderligere placeres offentlige funktioner imellem vejens to baner. Centralt i planen for det byggede i Humlebæk Syd er ønsket om at skabe en bydel der understøtter social kontakt på tværs af samfundslag og livssituationer. Som led i dette ønske skabes fællesparkeringspladser og gode rum imellem bygningerne der vil skabe gode rum for social kontakt. For at undgå den store monotone bygningsmasse med tilsvarende monoton befolkningssammensætning der kendetegner enklaverne i Humlebæk indføres principper der sikrer en oplevet diversitet i arkitektur og beboere på naboplan. Resultatet er en arkitektonisk divers og beboermæssig mangfoldig by der opleves på naboplan. Her vil mennesker af forskellig baggrund og fra forskellige sociale lag bo side om side med god mulighed for social kontakt igennem møder i rummene mellem husene.

Humlebæk SydThe holistic plan for a 58 hectare area south of Humlebæk with focus on architectural quality, diversity, sustainability and climate

Project name: Humlebæk SydProject Period: 02.01.12 - 18.05.12Focus: Strategic planning, holistic planning, sustainability, social contact, rainwater management, densified surburbanismAreas: Urban Design, sociology, Project Supervisors: Lasse Andersson(AAU), Jes Vollertsen(AAU)Project Members: Sebastian Andersen, Kristian OverbySkills Obtained: Public transport planning, Strategic planning, holistic planning, rainwater management, architectural typology design, urban design, topographical adaption

The project takes its point of departure in the architectural competition for Humlebæk Syd. The overall vision of the com-petition is to create a suburban neighbourhood build upon ideas of the good life in the suburb with the nuclear values: Architectural quality, Diversity, Climate and Sustainability and social contact.

The landscape concept evolves around the formation of six bands of individual characteristics that are possible to visit individually in a north south going direction having solely an experience of one landscape type. It is also possible to move across the bands in a east-west going direction having a more diverse experience.

For the build environment the focus has been set upon making up with the modernist ideal of the enclave. Part of the concept has been to change the status of the suburban stem road from being solely a peripheral car road to be the main street in Humlebæk Syd. Further a big emphasis has been put upon creating principles that ensure a mix of typologies to accommodate a diverse neighbourhood that can support social contact across different societal levels.

THE AXIS OF KNOWLEDGECREATING A COHERENT INFRASTRUCTURE CONNECTING ACTOR OF THE KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY IN ODENSE

Project name: Urban TransformationProject Period: 02.01.11 - 27.04.11Focus: Strategic planning, city branding, knowledge citiesAreas: Urban Design, sociology, Project Supervisors: Victor Andrade(AAU), Shelley Smith(AAU), Niels Melchior(AAU)Project Members: Thomas Oxvig, Sebastian Andersen, Ann Sofie Grimshave Christensen, Kjartan Gidskehaug, Kristian OverbySkills Obtained: Public transport planning, Strategic planning, Animation, Ideas of City Branding, general knowledge of Light Rail Transit and Bus Rapid Transit,

Project Description: Odense is though the third largest city of Denmark somewhat getting forgotten when talking about growth in Denmark. Instead all focus seems to be on the East Jutland city band and Copenhagen. Odense is struggling with keeping its young newly educated people and attracting companies to open in Odense. This has left the city in a situation where action is needed if the city should not end up being just a sleeper city with no jobs outside the cities service industry. Børsen has proposed a closing down of Odense University, as the municipality has not succeeded in creating synergy between the university and local business. This project takes its starting point in this situation and tries to create a stronger link between places where local business can emerge, the university, places of culture and the cities recreational life. The project works in various scales making a proposal for an overall transit system infrastructure of the city, a strategic plan for the development of Thomas, B. Thriges Gade and a de-tailed design for a urban space.

Project Concept: By creating a strong infrastructure between the identified development areas of the city a fundament for synergy happening between them is created. This is the Axis of Knowledge for Odense. For the infrastructure, a Bus Rapid Transit system is proposed. This system brings flexibility, as the route of the infrastructure can be changed if some of the development of the city should not happen or be moved elsewhere. By introducing the Bus Rapid Transit system it is possible to reduce the traveling time of the current public transit system, the local busses with more than 50%.

THE NEW NØRREPORTCREATING A DESIGN FOR NØRREPORT STATION, COPENHAGEN

Project name: Network CityProject Period: 02.09.10 - 15.12.10Focus: The station role in the network city, seamless travel, public domainAreas: Urban Design, sociologyProject Supervisors: Ole B. Jensen(AAU), Simon Wind(AAU)Project Members: Thomas Oxvig, Sebastian Andersen, Ann Sofie Grimshave Christensen, Kristian OverbySkills Obtained: Station Design, 3D modeling, Bicycle parking planning, designing for seamless travel, Theory of Public domain, Non-Places and the Network city.

Project Description: Nørreport is the busiest station in Denmark. The station has over time gained various modes of transit, and does now have both busses, s-trains, national and international trains and metro. This creates a need to think about seamless travel to handle to massive amount of flow. The challenge is, that places of seamless travel often gets so streamlined, that people have a hard time relating to them. At the same time the stations functions as a public domain for the network city where people are living further and further away from one another. This creates paradox of how seamless travel and a public domain can both be enhanced and coexist at the same place. And further, how can this exist when the space should also give room for 2100 bicycle parking spaces and various service offers.

Project Concept: In the project inspiration has been taken from the theory of a theatre. By creating two tribunes which points towards a space that serves as main flow space, the huge amount of people walking to and from the station gets staged to people observing them from the tribunes, but at the same time the people observing gets observed by the people walking through. This way a public domain is created whit out harming the flow spaces needed to ensure seamless travel. To create a Nørreport not so dominated by bicycles, a structure is proposed where bicycles are parked on an elevated surface. All service facilities, bicycle park-ing and tribunes are placed in two structures shaped after the historic bank forming an overall missing link in bank surrounding the station.

ØSTRE HAVN - THE NEW INDUSTRYREDEVELOPMENT OF HARBOUR BROWNFIELD CENTRAL IN AALBORG

Project name: Urban LandscapesProject Period: 01.02.10 - 15.04.10Focus: Redeveloping harbor area for future use as urban neighborhood in the cityAreas: Urban DesignProject Supervisors: Lea Holst Laursen (AAU), Jes Vollertsen (AAU), Rune Christian Bach (Metopos)Project Members: Thomas Oxvig, Sebastian Andersen, Ann Sofie Grimshave Christensen, Kristian OverbySkills Obtained: Master planning, 3D modeling, Wastewater management, Animation Adobe Suite

Project Description: With the closing of the grain and fodder storage and shipping facilities of Eastern Harbor, Aalborg, the areas has been sold off for new development. The site is placed centrally in Aalborg near the new cultural lighthouses of Nordkraft and the upcoming House of Music and with a good connection to the cities overall infrastructure.

Project Concept: With the closing of the old industry, a shift towards the cities new biggest industry, education, is proposed. The project takes its starting point in a new proposal of how to build on the Harbour front. It was found that the true quality of the harbour was found by the inner harbour basin and between the huge industrial volumes creating a refuge from the wind. Instead of creating a north facing quayside bathed in shadow like seen on other parts of the Aalborg harbour front, it is proposed to move the harbour front into the inner basin and build housing direct by the water. This forms the building concept where two wings of high building mass surrounds an inner environment containing an urban landscape and the harbour basin shielded from the wind. In the inner environment the educational facilities are placed along with a public indoor swimming pool, ensuring a rich urban life in the area
