Zydhavn - a terr i tory of Sydhavn page 6






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.
