WEEK ONE

Framing Fredriksværk

First Visualisation of the framing routes throughout Fredriksvaerk. A crossingpoint of two frames at the City Center.

The initial concept of the frames in Fredriksvaerk

Our individual models gave us a lot of inspiration about Fred-eriksvaerk design concept. We combined all ideas and analyzed indicated problems. During dis-cussion we focused both on local spots and large scale issues. We looked for main paths, impor-tant, characteristic areas and significant points. Finding con-nections and identity, showing structure and nature were our main focuses.

Inspired by the Bjarke Ingels Group and their project Stockholm-sporten, we thought about locating an enormous structure in the mid-dle of the city. The aim of this con-struction would be a reflection of surrounding beautiful area, nature and landscape. A tower, wooded hill, balloon or modern structure would arouse interest among peo-ple.

Another idea which came out from brainstorming process was usage of lights in order to empha-size outside shape of the city and landscape. Lights would be in in-

visible for birds and other animals and will not have any influence on wild life.

Finally we agreed on common concept: in our model we would like to highlight local history, show different stories of the Frederiks-vaerk and solve ongoing issues mentioned above.

First part of the modelling proc-ess was finding hot spots - places that are already important for citi-zens, touristic places and other in-teresting or meaningful sites. Next we created new spots in different parts of the city, which would be-come part of our project. We con-nected selected points and those created paths formed four frames crossing each other. Each frame had individual pattern and style vis-ible up close and from afar.

With this concept the central part of the city will be more compre-hensible and engaging. There will be connection between various ar-eas and new public spaces will be arranged.

The aim of the project is to breathe new life into the city of Frederiksværk as a phenomenon of cultural history and as part of existing qualities of the landscape.

Frederiksværk is a city with a wide-spread history visible all over the city. At the same time the land-scape provided lots of beautiful sites, such as tree covered hills sur-rounding the city and an amazing shoreline to the Roskilde Fjord.

Despite all these qualities the city still lacks something. It seems like early urban planning has failed and divided city into smaller uncon-nected areas. It is easy to get lost in the city and there are not many landmarks to use for orientation.

To reconnect the city it is neces-sary to acknowledge the qualities and define the missing links. As the urban planner Kevin Lynch sug-gests paths, edges, districts, nodes and landmarks are important to have an understandable city for its citizens. The pattern of the existing qualities according to this theory has helped us to define areas where there was a need of intervention.

By framing different parts of the area, we are able to map the points of interests. The frames are turned into and organic carpet which re-connects and embraces the city. Putting in new structures that re-peats themself along the routes we can obtain our goal. We will use commonly known urban in-ventories such as trees, hedges, light poles, bollards, trash cans etc.

The paths create very interest-ing voids, which also calls for attraction, but in a later stage. This gives the municipality sug-gestions for locating further de-velopment. This project starts a process of a better and easier un-derstandable city of Frederiksværk.

Mission ImpossibleTo step out of the frames we fo-cussed upon last weeks, we turned back to the idea to our first and most important thoughts about Fredriksværk; its morpho-logical position in the landscape, ehanced by the hills and the water of the lakes coming in by the river. The important nodes, concluding to our analysis, are part of experienc-ing this surrounding nature and will be unifying the city when connect-

ed in the network of hotspots. Our process developed from framing specific zones to connecting frames of intervention in the inner city.

The ConceptFocussing on the experience of this variety of nature by man we intro-duce the concept of a network with-

the city next to the shopping mall.

HotspotsThe existing points in Frederiks-værk, which can give the city a new asset to develop along, are:

- the Shopping mall square- the entrance to the Hill-route- a Viewpoint over the city- the Station- the Shoreline

To make the network there is a need for a new hotspot, which can redirect and distribute the inhabit-ants and visitors. The central placed hotspot is a reflection point of the morphological position of Freder-iksværk. Since it is the centre of the zones it will be designed reflect-ing the map of Fredriksværk, in-troducing the landscape structures departing from this crossing point towards the hotspots and visible by the landmarks.

The linking landscape As a carpet a connecting landscape is spread out on the city. Reach-ing each hotspot and joining them in the central reflection point. The linking landscape open up the city and make interesting paths, ready to be explored. The path consist of structures that reflects the existing landscape. The build-up area will mime the scale and characteristics of the existing. Tree sorts are cho-sen according the existing habitat and paths offer better connections and new spaces to be developed.

Further DevelopmentsNext week we are planning on defin-ing the actual form of the landscape structures along the routes, also we will focus on designing the hotspots and squares. The network map will change into a more detailed map.

in the city with nature in a guiding role. What started as a concept with frames to connect hotspots, the hotspots turned out to be the frames of interest themselves. In order to bind these hotspots together, the structures consist of landscape el-ements defined in three different zones; the hills, the forest and the lower grassland. The use of mor-phology and the height differences are a tool to guide to a variety of interesting destinations for both inhabitants and visitors of Fre-driksværk. To conclude, excavating the morphology in the city to link hotspots will guide people and make entire city coherent. The design of the master plan can be summarized in four layers of different scales.

Layers:- Typology zones (large scale structure)- Landmarks (single elements)-Hotspots (urban/natural fabric)-The linking landscape

Typology zonesTo experience your position in the landscape, a tool with corre-sponding elements for each zone is used to design the hotspots/squares and the linking land-scape structures. For example, for a structure in the hill-zone, pines are used as vegetation and in the forest-zone deciduous trees.

LandmarksVisual connections are an im-portant component of the over-all master plan. On the squares or connection-points, landmarks are made visible to continue your way in the right direction. Guided by the visual connection of the high-er points as the chimney and the church tower, you are naturally ledthrough the city. We introduce new landmarks like a bridge be-tween the hills and landscape ele-ments highlighting the entrance to

The masterplan shows the connecting role of the trees and the pavement underneath. Green patches pop up at the squares to create voids in the dense city.

Frederiksværk is a city with a widespread history visible all over the city. At the same time the landscape provides lots of beautiful sites, such as tree covered hills surround-ing the city and a shoreline to the Roskilde Fjord. But the current situation is lacking a visible structure in the city. Implementing identity points reflected in the underlying landscape structure helps the citizens to understand the city.

cussing on the experience of this variety of nature by man a network within the city appears. This has an important role of guiding the citi-zens around.

In order to bind these the experi-ences together, the structures con-sist of landscape elements defined in three different zones; the hills, the forest and the lower grassland.

The use of morphology and the height differences are a tool to guide to a variety of interesting destinations for both inhabitants and visitors of Frederiksværk.

flection point. The linking landscape opens

up the city and makes inter-esting paths, ready to be ex-plored. The path consist of structures that reflects the ex-isting landscape. The build-up area will mime the scale and characteristics of the existing. Tree sorts are chosen accord-ing the existing habitat and paths offer better connections and new spaces to be devel-oped.The DesignTo design the nodes and the link-ing landscape a grid defines where to build upon. The grid indicates density throughout the network, open and dense are defined in the base-layer to have a consistent story and experience while follow-ing the network.

On top of the grid there is placed three different elements: - Trees- Squares- Structures.

It has to be easy to access and move around in the grid. Therefore the trees are placed on paved areas. This makes also the transition from the areas of the trees and to the squares easy.

The squares are openings in the dense city structure. This frames important spots in the city and makes room for meetings and re-laxing.

The structures are new built structures along the network.
