way tracks and Tippen by the waters of Kalvebodløbet.

The aim of the assignment is to plan, program and design for a sustainable urban connection in the south-western part of Copen-hagen. This part of the assign-ment has similarities to e.g. the green bicycle route that connects Frederiksberg, Nørrebro and Øs-terbro. An additional challenge is that Sydhavn does not meet the demands for the future when it comes to access: public transpor-tation to the greater Copenhagen is weak and local access to vast green areas such as Valbyparken and to Tippen by Kalveboderne are limited. This is, for a large part, because Sydhavn is divided into different areas by busy streets and two railway tracks. The Zydhavn project aims to address this dilem-ma of urban fragmentation with new visions of a greater coherence and improved access.However, Sydhavnen is also a fantastic (hidden) oasis. Therefore, one could argue that too much attention from politicians, and sub-sequently planners and architects is a sure way to make Sydhavnen look like all the other renovated quarters of Copenhagen. The in-tention of the Zydhavn project is not to give Sydhavn a whole new top-down identity. Neither is it the intention to make bottom-up

surveys and interviews of what people want. The intentions of the Zydhavn project is to let the land-scape be the voice of urban negoti-ation – one that connects, opens up and gives access.

Future plans for SydhavnSince most of the housing is from the 1930’s and were build to sup-port a growing need for housing to support low income working fam-ilies the housing units are small. If Sydhavn, amongst other, is to attract e.g. young working families to generate a more diverse popu-larity of the people in Sydhavn one major challenge for the future will be to meet the demands for living in the city today. The question is what makes an attractive city life? What contemporary changes and new conceptions are needed to

meet the challenges for Sydhavn in the future? One such attempt to make changes is to improve public transportation with a metro station under Mozart’s Plads. Another attempt to make Sydhavn more attractive is an initiative to con-struct a beach by the water edge of Valbyparken.

From Sydhavn to ZydhavnThe overall assignment introduc-es combinations of long-distance dedications and small-scale inter-ventions as an alternative to broad strategies of social, economical and environmental improvements. The assignment is open and with few limitations – the scale and the context is debatable through the design.To support the assignment and the learning outcome the course entails fieldwork in Germany, The Nederland’s, Belgium and France.

AssignmentLong-distance dedicationThe assignment is to plan and design a combined bicycle –and pedestrian connection from the

northern end (on top of the hill) of Sjælør Boulevard to the south – through Sydhavn to Tippen by Kalveboderne. The connection should be encompassed in such a way that it connects significant local areas and at the same time it should enhance the qualities of Sydhavn. Key areas (from north to south) can be taken into consid-eration (depending on the visions you have): The edge/boarders/new openings between Vestre Kirkegård and Sjælør boulevard, the Gymnasium and the land-scape that defines Sjælør Station, crossings and intersections at P. Knudsens gade, Karens Minde and its surroundings and the railway tracks that divides Sydhavn from Tippen and the waters of Kalve-boderne – including the two over-passes.

The proposal must consider the possibility to encompass runoff rainwater to alleviate the pressure of drainage.

“an experimental Garden for new urban development”

“The program is open.The scale and the context is debatable through the design”

ZYDHAVN – a territory of Sydhavn Long-distance dedications and small-scale interventions.

With Zydhavn the wish is to envision, plan, and to design for a future urban territory of

Sydhavn. Zydhavn, like some strange transitional world - a very long experimental garden in Sydhavn, is an urban land-scape that joins: Sjælør Boule-vard (and Vestre Kirkegård), Karens Minde, the allotment gardens on both sides of the rail-


ZYDHAVN - a territory in Sydhavn

Small-scale interventionsIn order to anchor and to support the connection from north to south (as described before) the quality and identity of the local urban en-vironment must be strengthened. Small-scale interventions along

and in proximity to the bicycle and pedestrian path can be identified, designed in greater detail and used for such proposes. These smaller interventions can include visions and activities such as space for sports, urban gardens,

quiet places, squares for perfor-mance, plantings (nurseries) and new places for urban experiments. The proposal must consider princi-ples for storm water management on a local level.

The proposals shall reflect and contributes to an on-going discus-sion regarding sustainable urban transformation as a whole, and of our cities, their infrastructure and cultural significance in our cities today.

The way we work 1

Vertical projection combined with simple models during a design conversation (supervision).

Presentations and discussions of design models. The way we work is through putting individual models and group models in the hole of the big model. This is our laboratory and this is where we rate and talk about the qualities of the design work.

Abstract model. We travel with a model box and we have meetings and talks while we are on the move.

The way we work is by repeat-ing the same model and the same drawings throughout the course. We do this meanwhile we talk, travel, listen, read, draw and evaluate. Model, Engagement, Movement and Observation (MEMO) are key concepts to understand how we work. The theory is; we make mod-els because we work with space. We make them in order to engage with matter. The movement made from working with models help us observe and enable us to make new and better drawings and models. Bacause we shift from plans and models they will never exactly be alike - something changes in the process of going back and forth. This is because they (the plans, you and the models) are feeding off of each other – one always making the other adjust a little.

The methodWe use Google earth, maps and other representative medias to recreate the urban landscape of Zydhavn. We will build analogue model (we will build them in our Model Lab) of Z(S)ydhavn. Dur-ing the building of the model we will rate qualities of the urban landscape and the possibilities for new development as qualified as possible.

The big model (the context mod-el) is where we test and develop our overall ideas. To understand small scale interventions we build mod-els in fitting scale.

During our work with the design we use the walls and floors of the school to exhibit our work in pro-gress. The exhibition wall is where we meet our imaginary client and where we let go of our fear of showing all the mistakes we have to make before we are satisfied with the result. The floor we use like an experimental ‘campfire’ where we share ideas and have design con-versations.

Engagement. Think of a crime scene and of working on a murder case. Who is the murderer? In real life we try to recreate the scene of the crime through movement. We do this while we narrow in on a motive. The motive is important because it can reveal the murder.

When we work in the studio we feed of models so to speak, because

the movement we create makes us able to engage in our work. In planning we call the motive; is-sues (problem formulation) and the scene of the crime; the site.

The observations we make when we work we document, evaluate and talk about. Observations that give us new knowledge and new possibilities are what we are look-ing for. We often call them the little mistakes - something that makes us wonder, because they often show themselves in a drawing or a model as something that just doesn’t fit

in the big picture. So look out for them! Besides working digital we work with two types of different models. Simple modelsThere is a substantial advantages in building simple physical mod-els. The investigative and inquisi-tive models have a central role in the process of analysis and design. They empower ideas, concepts and programming. We repeat the sim-ple model again and again.

Abstract modelThe first (and often the last) model we work with when we engage and try to understand our own work or other works of landscape architecture is even more simple. The model is abstract and we carry it with us in a model box. We can build this type of model anywhere. We often use this model when we travel and when we work on the floor in the studio.

Big modelIn order to strengthen and qualify the way we discuss and evaluate our work in the context of a greater urban landscape we use a big mod-el to test our arguments by putting our simple concept models in a big context model. We then repeat the process while we work on our digi-tal plans, visualizations, sections, text and so forth.

The way we work 3

The studios called Versailles and Skallingen are places where a ladder across a gaffa tape boarder (on the floor) marks a special work zone - this is where The Big Model is. This 3x5 m square is on the floor of Versailles, Model Lab and Skallingen and is the experimental territory of Zydhavn. In this zone we can mix and experiment with matter that normally seem non compatable - ex. fitting a stuffed bird, some bricks and a digital plan together and find new and unexpected observations in our work. From what we find we can then go back to our work outside the zone and incoorporate new ways of seeing into our design. With the gaffa tape we can take this work zone with us when we need to. Here we work with all scales, with books, digital drawings projected from the seeling down onto the models we make, paper presentations, stufed animals, 1:1 examples of pavement stone and soil types, movies, etc. This is from the course of 2014.

Landscape architecture students in the city of Steel - Frederiksværk

Landscape Planning 2013

STEELSCAPEPROCESS DIARY

The unique historical site that de-

to Arresø and Roskilde Fjord, the -

hind the main pedestrian street and the canal has drawn attention to teachers and researchers from The University of Copenhagen. Consequently the University has organized a planning laboratory in Frederiksværk. The student projects will be a supplement to the competition that takes place later this year.

Until the end of June 60-65 stu-dents from Denmark and the world will be working intensively with a transformation of Frederiksværk.

The overall design question is how Frederiksværk can be trans-formed within the following themes;

1. The connection between the water and the urban environment. Sustainable landscapes.

2. The urban spaces and their mutual relations. Climate and rec-reational space.

3. Access and identity. -

tion.The aim is to work with both

innovative and traditional solu-tions in a design for a sustainable urban process in Frederiksværk. Throughout the course at team of Landscape architects, teachers and researchers from The University of Copenhagen will follow and sup-port their work.

The studio entail travel, res-hearch and work into a wide range of exemplaty sites in Barce-lona, Spain.

This paper will work as the stu-

dents dairy, where they each week upload their work, to share with orthers and to show the overall process of their work. One spread corresponds to one week of group work. In the end, this paper will show how the students have gone from analysing and a con-cept in week one, to having a com-plete masterplan and design pro-posal in the end of their journey throgh Frederiksværk.

The calendar shows the scheduled activities. Since the course is a full time course, it is expected that the students/groups, outside of the sched-uled activities, find the necessary time for preparation.

NOTE. Be aware that changes may occur. Therefore remember to check the dashboard on absalon every morning or afternoon.

The Zydhavn Profile

“The Park Karens Minde will be a multifunctional area which can include storm water management, give the residents a green living room right outside their front door and be a link between Sjælør Boulevard and Sydhavnstippen.”

The green line connects the different areas of Sydhavnen. Along the stretch, green interventions add value to the visitor. KM Park is the new green centre of Sydhavn.

Karens Minde is the centre and anchor in Sydhavnen.

Sydhavn is a part of the city with many areas with different compositions. It’s an area not very well known to many Copenhageners, although it is so close to the city centre. But when you look into the area you realize how many qualities the area holds. This is not Vesterbro, this is not Valby, this is Sydhavn, and when you are there, you can really feel that it is a neighbourhood with its own typology, attitude and history. The main challenge as we see it is that the many different areas are not as well connected as they could be.

The green line North to South running through this area is Sjælør Boulevard. In this proposal we redesign this street with the new Zydhavn Profile; a

Group 1: By M, M, F & O

backbone of trees in a grid and a water management system combined with walking paths and experiences for visitors. We do not want to force a totally new concept to Sydhavn and make it the “new Vesterbro”. We want to enhance the values that are unique and enhance the Sydhavn spirit. In this context we don’t want to talk about the Zydhavn Profile only in terms of street design. We want to explore the Zydhavn spirit and by our design provide platforms for it to grow even stronger and for more people to meet each other and take it further.

Karens Minde ParkWhen studying the map, it would

be easy to start the stretch closest to the city centre and design the stretch down through the area and end at Tippen. But to give that dignity to the northern start of Sjælør Boulevard would almost be rude to the rest of Sydhavn. Instead we want to look at this stretch with Karens Minde as an anchor in the middle with a Northern path connecting it to the city, and a southern stretch connecting it to the

“This is not Vesterbro, this is not Valby, this is Sydhavn”

nature area of Sydhavnstippen. Karens Minde has an excellent

location in the heart of Both Sydhaven and the green stretch of Sjælør Boulevard. We want to emphasize this role with The Karens Minde Park, the new city park of Sydhavnen. It is a park that will both take the role as meeting point when Mozarts Plads gets transformed into a metro station, but also extend the cultural life from Karens Minde into the rest of Sydhaven.

Sjælør Boulevard enter Karens Minde Park at P Knudsens Gade. The profile change into a green space, but the rain water ditch continues into the middle of the park. The board walk lead people through the park and let them cross from one side to the other.

The rain water management ditch will vary in size, and where possible, parts of the cemetery could be taken in as part of the intervention area.

At certain locations, the board walk connect the street with the cemetery, this will be designed as a pocket park and in some places an entrance to the cemetery.

The Zydhavn Profile at Sjælør Boulevard connected to the cemetery. The rain water management ditch runs next to the street and bring vegetation and biodi-versity through the area.

Platforms at the Southern point give access to the water.

The Wasted Cut: The line cuts through a hill at Tippen, exposing the soil-profile and tells the story of how the area is constructed of waste.

The grids of trees create a green line that connects North and South in Sydhavnen. Karens Minde Park becomes the new green center of the area. 1:10 000

order to support the characteristics of the local. In the northern area the wa-ter is collected from the residential ar-eas and transported southwards along Sjælør Boulevard. It moves quickly complimenting the fast movement of the bicyclist and straight line of the boulevard. This area is mainly for transportation.

In the area around Karens Minde, the water is collected and used to cre-ate recreational value. The water runs into a village pond at Karens Minde and further south, a larger marsh area. Concurrently with the intensification of water elements, the density of the vegetation increases towards the exist-ing dense forest. Some areas are used for infiltration and some are used as permanent wet basins acting as reten-tion for storm water.

Water is present everywhere you go in Sydhavnen, from the strict lines of Sjælør Boulevard, through the busy station area of Sjælør station, across the village and marsh of Ka-rens Minde, passing the exuberant lagoon on the other side of the train tracks into the vast green area of Tippen. As a common element, the waterways leads the way to the hid-den treasures of Sydhavnen, relieves the district from the incriminating storm water and adds together with the new green infrastructure, amen-ity value to the area.

DesignThe water is a common design element from the northern part of Sydhavnen to Tippen in the south, but it is used very differently within each area in

What we want to do

This project aims to create a cohe-sive and legible connection through Sydhavn while at the same time enhancing the character and quali-ties of the smaller areas within Sydhavnen. We wish to reinvigorate interest and use by the local citizens as well as people from neighboring areas. We are working with a con-cept of framing, hiding and reveal-ing which with simple interventions will enable us to arouse curiosity and intriguing new ways of experi-encing the area.

Concept

Throughout the project area con-crete is used as the main material just as the overall design language will be the same although the elements are used for different purposes. This makes it possible to make a coherent project all the way from Vigerslevs Allé to Sydhavns Tippen while at the same time dealing with the specific problems or challenges of the smaller individual areas.

The project will deal with storm-water by leading it to retention ba-

sins incorporated into the street- and landscapes of Sydhavnen. Along the stretch of Sjælør Boulevard stormwa-ter management is an important factor in the design of the pedestrian area, here the paving will be slightly raised in order to allow stormwater to be col-lected and led to retention basins with-out disturbing traffic. Gaps in the pav-ing will allow people to see the flow of the water under them.

The intersection between Sjælør Boulevard and Ring Road 2 is a large barrier on the axis. To clarify the con-nection, we create a path through the bunker at this intersection. Currently the bunker is covered in dense vegeta-tion, creating visual and sound barrier

of traffic for the residents on either side. Cutting through the vegetation pro-vides a visual connection, while cross-ing the intersection and maintains the barrier functions. The path through the bunker is lined by concrete wall ele-ments which define the path/direction.

Karens Minde represents the cultur-al center of Sydhavn. There are vari-ety of functions for all types of people and interest groups. In its current state, it has an undefined edge. There are closed / semi-closed edges between the area and the surroundings. We create a

consistent border in concrete elements around Karens Minde to indicate com-ing and going of this area, and mark the entrances with vertikal concrete blocks. We pave the area around the old beautiful building, to elevate it’s status and importance.

The southernmost end of the site, Tippen, is a large nature area domi-nated by open grass areas and scat-tered clusters of trees. Tippen has a natural ending because it is a penin-sula, and therefore a destination at the end to draw visitors out into the nature

area. We will emphasize the value of the place, by creating subtle interven-tions of concrete, such as a rised path, framing a view with vertical blocks, or paving a small area. These elements will stand out as sculptures in the land-scape.

To define the long stretch from the top of Sjælør Boulevard to the very end of the Hinterland, we are placing a sculptural grid of tree on a floor of concrete, in each end. Lamps placed in the floor will light up the canopies at night, turning the installations into lighthouses.

The Wall Creates a dynamic border north-south along Sjælør Boulevard on the otherwise unused side of the Ves-tre Cemetery. Access to the cemetery is a priority because it is an underused green area proximate to a densely pop-ulated area.

The Pedestrian Path is made up of concrete, like the wall, but with a dif-ferent texture. The divisions in the slabs of pavement coincide with the

gaps in the wall. This creates continu-ity in the wall elements and path. The path serves as the major stormwater management element on the site. It is at the same level as the sidewalk to-day but with a channel underneath. The water channel will be visible be-tween the gaps in the slabs, making the stormwater elements visible.

Crossing bordersSjælør boulevard along Vestre kirkeg-ård, a stretch of 1,2 km consists of a residential area in the west including two high schools, a S-train station and a grocery shop. To the east, the cemetery poses an almost impenetra-ble border, fenced off with a standard metal fence with only one entrance along the boulevard. This proposal

suggest to remove the fence and cre-ate a barrier of a swale, serving as a crossable reminder of the passage between cultivated nature and the in-tensely urbanized area. By doing so,

Zydhavnen Equalized

A lookout tower at Tippen pulls you out of the city. At Tippen you can reach down and dip into the water, or reach up and look out. The lookout tower opens the view of both nature of Amager and the city you came from. Created is an open playground at the edge between land and water.

This project is connecting Zydhavn-ens attractions and key sites to each other and to the rest of Copenhagen by creating a bike path through the area. The bike path links up on the greater biking network of Copen-hagen, as well as giving space for unique blue-green public spaces along the way, strengthening the backbone of Zydhavnen.

Zydhavnen have the quality of a loca-tion in the transition between city and sea. These two elements acts as the main push/pull factors, the reason to go and come back. Within minutes, you can move from the quarters of Sjælør boulevard to the sheep paddock at Tippen. The turning point of the transition is the heart of Zydhavnen; Karens Minde.

Defining Karens Minde, the heart of ZydhavnenAs an independent cultural institution, Karens Minde serves as a centre of Zydhavnens culture as well as offering visitors a destination. As central as 20 min by bike from Copenha-gen city centre, you can get the farm-like feeling.

However, the place is poorly defined in its spatial sur-roundings. By defining its space by a circular path, Karens Minde institution can play out its role in the area, as well as developing inside.

Tippen, a place for contemplationReaching outside the city, crossing the railway, the view from the bridge reveals a lookout tower in the horizon. What is there? To make the journey, a gravel path meander through a savannah like landscape with meadow and areas of shrubs. Along the shoreline, wooden pontoons connects land and

sea. The pull of curiosity drives the movement further south, and as a final destination, there is a lookout tower, where you are elevated up, and can look back towards the city you came from, and out over the sea.

Cohesiveness through materialsIn order to create a comprehensible sense of place, a red thread through the area, series of elements with the same design language will each introduce their individual area in a different way, while connecting the individual parts of Zydhavnen together by elements, detailing and materiality.

The transition from the city to Tippen, crossing the southern railway, a lookout tower pull you towards the sea. Reaching the tower, you can see back into the city and the tower of Copenhagen Zoo.

The interventions will play an im-portant role as conductive elements.

Access FirstThe most important thing in the trans-formation is to make the area acces-sible. A vertical connection from the start of Sjælør Boulevard all the way to the Tip will be the new backbone of access. Soft traffic will be prioritized.

The three most important transition zones are the edge to Vestre Kirke-gård, the intersection between Sjælør Boulevard and Ellebjergvej and the large undefined area on the westside of Karens Minde and down to the bridges across the railroad tracks.

The edge to Vestre Kirkegård is very important in order to respect the at-mosphere of solitude and immersion. The large size of the cemetery makes it possible to combine the special char-

Figure 4 - “Nature comes first. Access is being adapted. Le Louvre, Lens.”

A fluid vertical connection with a simple rhythm, interlaced with di-verse interventions presents the so-lution to several challenges at Sjælør Boulevard and its surroundings.

The main challenge in Sydhavnen regards access and orientation. Hard traffic defines movement in the north-ern part of the area which creates bar-riers, transecting and providing other-wise valuable linear connections and recreational possibilities for the entire area. These traffic challenges make the area seem fragmented and sepa-rated from the surrounding city.

StirTo visualize a transformation we have used the image of a tidal wave cascad-ing and consuming the area, leaving debris behind when retiring.

These debris are inspired by stones left by the water flow. The stones make the water flow change and create voids behind them creating diverse collec-tion of happenings and voids in the area. The voids become spatial con-

tinuing elements that bind the area to-gether.

The surrounding edges play a major role, both by being transition zones and also in the way they break into the pattern and create a stir in the flow.

In real life the movement of water reflects the human movement and the effect of time together with weather-ing abrasion. Life is seen as a wavy element that is stretching out to reach and connect.

Rhythmic DiversityIn order to place debris, voids and oth-er disturbing elements, we have em-phasized a simple rhythmic system, based on the existing connections in the area, creating a simple yet elegant dialogue.

The rhythm consists of rectangular groups of plantings, placed in a specif-ic angle across the main vertical con-nection. These groups of trees are the ‘debris’. The debris dictate together with the edges how voids, light inter-ventions and water will be composed throughout the area.

acter with some strong connections across to connect Sjælør Boulevard with the inner city. The edge between Vestre Kirkegård and Sjælør Boule-vard will be defined by a low geomet-ric wall in collaboration with the exist-ing slope.

The intersection between Sjælør Boulevard and Ellebjergvej will be changed in a way that prioritizes soft traffic. Bicycles and pedestrians will receive a ‘node’, from where the soft traffic can be lead safely and direct through the junction.

The Depth of SydhavnenBy following the vertical connection the depth of Sydhavnen will appear.

In the beginning the debris are very obvious. By moving further along the connection the debris begin to dissolve and in the end, at Tippen, the debris will stretch out and blend in with the existing traces of time.

In this way the different characters and atmospheres will be underlined, while at the same time, a new cohesive layer will be added to the area.

Allé to its meeting with Sjælør Sta-tion, Sjælør Boulevard has an imper-meable border on both of its sides. On the west side of the boulevard is Vestre Kirkegård, a large cemetery separated from the sidewalk by an unattractive metal fence. On the other side of the boulevard there are large, mostly pri-vate buildings. These impermeable surfaces on each side of the road inten-sify the long north-to-south line. With no points of interest or places to rest along this part of the road, the journey is dull.

The next area of the site includes Sjælør Station and the heavily congest-ed intersection directly south of it. The station, although used by many, is not a comfortable place to be as there is no place to comfortably sit and wait. It is surrounded by car traffic and a park-ing lot and does not visibly welcome pedestrians. The intersection south of the station is a meeting point for five directions of car traffic and needs to be reorganized so that cyclists and pedes-trians can easily get where they would like to go. On the south side of the in-

tersection, two old bunkers surround-ed by overgrown vegetation absorbs some of the noise from the intersec-tion; however, it decreases the visual accessibility of the area behind it.

South of the bunkers lies the vibrant community around Karens Minde Kulturhus. The area, which was his-torically a farm, has a strong identity, and drastic physical changes should not be made here. Traveling south from Karens Minde, one next reaches a small community of allotment gardens, named the Music City. This is a transition between hu-man society and nature. Finally, the southernmost part of the site is a nature preserve known as Tippen. The main issue facing this place is a lack of any sense of arrival. Additionally, although there are dirt walking paths that allow pedestrians to easily access the area, there is nei-ther infrastructure for cyclists nor any places to stop and rest.

Using the terrain to create an en-trance & a resting place. A wide set of steps fits into the sloping land between Sjælør Boulevard and Vestre Kirkeg-ård. These steps provide a more visu-ally accessible entrance to this side of the cemetery, as well as presenting a

place for people to rest and socialize. Building the steps into the slope in this way also allows the cemetery to re-main separate from the road, while the entrence to the cemetery also makes a good connection the high school at the other side of the road.

2. Bringing life to the station. Making a high platform at the station with a light installation makes it pos-sible to see all the way down to Tippen and it also brings visibility and excit-ing to the station at night. Adjacent to the station there is a green area which is not used. This is a perfect place to build a skatepark for the young people in the area to hang out and play.

3. Rearranging the intersection. This intersection is fed by several vehicular roads, and rearranging the

bicycle and pedestrian will make it easier and safer for them to cross. The proposed solution is a roundabout for pedestrians and cyclists which extends through green areas in the corners of the intersection. The path continues through a cleared space between the two bunkers, providing a visual con-nection to Karens Minde.

4. Defining a square at Karens Minde. The area around Karens Minde Kulturhus is full of life and strong identity; while wandering in this area, one might come across a library, mu-seum, a building for scouts, playful kindergarteners, horses, and people relaxing by the green areas. A new cobblestone square becomes a meeting point that connects the areas public buildings and makes it welcoming to

5. Viewpoint: structure overlooking the area. At the beginning of the natu-ral area south of the Kulturhus com-munity, a tower for visitors to climb and overlook the area will provide a good orientation point for any visit to these natural lands. It will give people a chance to admire the view of Tippen, and also to look back at the similar platform at Sjælør Station.

6. Steps for waterfront interaction. Another wide set of steps here pro-vides visitors a place to rest and enjoy the local environment. These steps fit into the slope from land to sea and cre-ate opportunities for people to interact with and enjoy the water.

Zydhavn - a new rhythm

Sydhavnen gets a renewed character by using natural materials and increased greenery to create public places, urban rooms and an experience along the new bicycle path.

The conceptual axis of the the new Sydhavnen connection.

From left to right: Green connec-tion, storm water management with retention points, wooden elements.

The future of Copenhagens Sydhavnen combines stormwa-ter-based design with a connect-ing bike- and pedestrian path in a northern-southern direction. The new, greener axis connects Sydhavnen to the city and gives a vibrant and active identity to the district. Exciting wooden decks tie the areas together, resulting in a sequence or rhythm along the bikepath.

Located south of the Copenhagen City Centre, Sydhavnen is a borough of diverse character. The area has a high percentage of traditional Dan-ish working-class housing units, since Sydhavnen historically held a large part of Copenhagen’s heavy industry.

In contrast to the old industrial fa-

cilities, Sydhavnen has large green ar-eas by the water. “Sydhavnstippen” is a well-used green area, located at the southernmost edge of Sydhavnen. The recreational area is mainly landfill, but has evolved into a green free-space with fields and running paths.

Group 7: Hans Bruun Pedersen, Karin Sanfridson, Kit Schmidt Petersen, Mira Theil Carstensen

Directly north of the area is Vestre Kirkegaard, Denmarks largest cem-etery.

The new combined bike- and pedes-trian path runs from the northern part of the cemetery, and ends in the recre-ational areas of southern Sydhavnen. A densification of trees and plants cre-ates a green connection, which helps to break Sydhavnens infrastructural barriers.

Along the way, four major focus points, based on level of intensity and human activity, creates small and characteristic focus points.

“Since Sydhavnen has a natural incline, the area has potential of being a storm-water focused district”

Despite being different, the four “hubs” use the same design element; the wooden deck. These structures are used in different ways along the Sydhavnen axis, ranging from ramps and stairs to benches and viewpoints. Additionally the decks are a creative way to use differences in terrain to create urban spaces and new ways of interacting with the area.

The natural atmospheres in the dif-ferent areas are emphasized by using natural and flexible design materials.

Being one of the more sloping bor-oughs of Copenhagen, Sydhavnen has potential of being a district with focus on rainwater from cloud bursts.

To manage the challenges of storm water bursts and general rainwater, a lowered water path filled with stones and pebbles follows the bike-lane and ends up at the lower areas of Karens-minde Culture Centre.


Group 7: Hans Bruun Pedersen, Karin Sanfridson, Kit Schmidt Petersen, Mira Theil Carstensen

Below are two detailed sections of the wood-en niveaus in relationship to roads, paths and terrain. Left is the wooden bikepath running between the Sjælør bunkers, and the bottom illustration shows the south-western corner of Vestre Cemetery.

At Karensminde Culture Centre, where the stormwater creates a small “wetland”, the decks serve as dry plateaus.

Above: Human activity is the mo-tivation behind the choice of focus points.

The decks can be used as urban furniture, as well as new means of transportation.

At the periphery of Sydhavnstippen, the wood-en structures frame the natural environment. These ways of interacting with the nature can function as viewpoints or steps towards the wa-ter edge.

Sydhavnen is an area with many strong identities. The area, extend-ing from the top of Sjælør Boule-vard to Tippen in south, consists of three different neighbourhoods – each with a different character and atmosphere. The new bike path will connect these three neighbourhoods and create a coherency in the area as well as enhance the different exist-ing qualities.

The three neighbourhoods of Sydhavnen are; the Vestre Kirkeg-ård in the north, the urban area with Karens Minde in the middle and the pastoral landscape in south known as Tippen. Vestre Kirkegård represents a rigid structural composition with symmetrical placed elements. The ur-ban area with Karens Minde is char-acterised by three storey blocks with smaller intimate urban spaces in be-tween and Karens Minde with several functions and activities such as hors-es, petting zoo, library and a dancing hall etc. In this neighbourhood, the squared structural composition gradu-

The Backbone

Fig. 1. The Backbone creates a direct connection from Vigerslev Alle to Tippen. The straight line is created by an edge which is followed by a ditch handling the storm water issue. When the edges deviates from the straight line the ditch becomes retainment pools which will function as public spaces when water is not present.

The Backbone creates a connection in the project area Zydhavn - a part of Copenhagen in the Valby and Sydhavn neighborhoods. It consists of design interventions, pedestrian and bike routes and storm water management. The concept is a con-nection from north to south inter-rupted by deviating spots for water retainment and urban renewal.

SiteThe area of Zydhavn starts from Ves-tre Kirkegård and Vigerslev Alle, and goes down south along Sjælør Boule-vard, reaching Karens Minde and fi-nally the area Tippen at the seaside. Sjælør Boulevard has a high im-

portance in transition, permits cars, local pedestrians and bikers to reach residential areas from the city central and to continue on another crossing road. Sjælør Boulevard also provides

the shortest and main way to approach the seaside, Tippen and the neigh-bouring Valbyparken. Consequently, Sjælør Boulevard is the backbone of Sydhavn. Though, the route appears fragmented and the different passages is not experienced as unified which makes the connection seems weak.

Like many urban areas Sydhavnen also struggles with the consequences of climate change creating problems with storm water.

Site potentialSjælør Boulevard is the backbone of Sydhavn. The area consist of a great variety in spatial experiences, materi-als and vegetation. The wide spectrum of the existing features and qualities in the area stand out as a potential ba-sis for renewal. Rather than creating a new master design the Backbone aims at respecting and emphasizing exist-ing characteristics and strengthening the connection from north to south, while handling storm water issues.

Water managementThe map in Fig. 2 shows zones that

for leading water through the area and retaining it in key areas. The terrain slopes down towards Sjælør Boule-vard on both sides of the road, primar-ily from the cemetery. Therefore it is naturally logical to continue leading the water south towards retaining ar-eas along the way. These retaining ar-eas are crucial for preventing a large water flow and are placed in areas where there are possibilities for urban renewal.

ConceptThe backbone of Zydhavn enhances the current connection from north to south encompassing storm water management and improving condi-tions for pedestrians and bicyclists. A shifting concrete edge defines the western border of the project area as well as the path of the ditch for water management. Where the edge cuts away from the linear direction poten-tial areas for water retaining and ur-ban improvement are created. In this way the important direct connection is maintained and urban interventions are easily recognizable and usable.

Contrast of Identities

Conceptual visualization: exploring the relationship of place and connectivity.

Zydhavn is a becoming an increas-ingly desirable area sitauated with-in the larger territory of Sydhavn. It is in good proximity to downtown Copenhagen to the north and Val-byparken to the south, but it is not without its difficulties. There are great opportunities to connect the north to the south through a more clear and cohesive design.

There is presently several distinct identities within Zydhavn - from the park setting of Vestre Kirkegård, to the busy street of commuters, to the newer established lands to the south collectively made of garbage. The people within this area are just as di-verse with demographics ranging from young university students to families with children to the socially and eco-nomically disadvantaged.

The area is widely known to have beautiful parks and a large problem of public alcoholism. There is huge po-tential to revitalize this reputation by bringing more life to the streets and the parks that often feel underused.

Qualities + Issues During our site analysis of Zydhavn, we observed and experienced several quality sites such as Vestre Kirkegård and the cultural area known Karens minde square. The Vestre Kirkegård is a wonderful experience with designed spaces that are enjoyable to be in or to pass through. This connection to na-ture can also be experienced south of the library through an area which has a relaxing forest canopy enclosure that one passes through.

These places, however, are primari-ly existing within their own boundries and do not connect well north-south or to the surrounding context. The cem-

etary itself seems to be closed off with a chainlink fence that outline the pe-rimeter of the site. The entrances are also too few with very little indication that one is welcome to enter the space or where it might lead to in the end.

Simularily, the streets often do not have a good relation from one block to the next. One does not know what lies next along this route. Undesirable street crossings often make these con-nections difficult, not allowing one to freely enjoy the qualities that this area possesses.

Design ConceptTo overcome the issues of connectivity and the lack of public life in Zydhavn, there needs to be more public spaces designed for people to occupy and enjoy throughout the day or night. In order to accomplish this there are spe-cific sites that have been targeted that will be developed as significant place based design interventions.

These inventions are established as counterpoints to the existing condi-tions. Rigid, ordered areas are infil-trated by flowing organic forms; while natural areas see straight aligned alter-ations. One form will refer to another, guiding people through the entire pro-ject from one end to the other. The design also establishes the spe-cific connections to its surroundings allowing for greater movement of people from area to area. Each place flows more easily and seemlessly into the next, connecting the entire area as one cohesive project.

Through establishing these places as enjoyable places to spend time, the life between these areas will also increase as people move from place to place al-lowing for resting, contemplating and relaxing allows for the public street life to be renewed within this region.

Through the development of these connections, this will actively give the entire area of Zydhavn an identity of itself that will attract people to live in the area.
