Jeg er nyuddannet arkitekt fra Belgien, flyttet for nyligt til København. En stor del af arkitekt arbejdet er at lade sig overraske af særlige omgivelser, blive inspireret af hverdagen og opleve andres værker. Det drejer sig om en udfoldelse og uddannelse, ud over skolens og bøgernes, og om glæden at være arkitekt og en del af et samfund i konstant bevægelse.
Kom med mig på opdagelse i den danske hovedstad og rundt omkring i Danmark.Christina K V Rasmussenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04292923320623146140noreply@blogger.comBlogger46125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4597272885708400273.post-11566860717723079742011-09-10T15:41:00.005+02:002011-09-12T00:59:02.955+02:00Moving onCopenhagen is still busy, still full of things to see, visit, check-out. The latest is their set of debates on housing types and living forms: how should planners and architect conceive living in the city? What are the demands and desire of the citizens? What do they associate with city life and how can we provide them with it? How should living in a city be considered as well according to issues of social sustainability, environmental considerations, density, transportation and so on?<br /><br />For more information, go to cphx.dk<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">* * * * *<br /></div><br />I have now moved to Aalborg, currently doing a traineeship in Curitiba - Brazil - and therefore closing down this chapter for the moment.

Something between art happening and urban furniture is to be experienced. Kgs.Nytorv is often the place where art appears in an appealing -almost propanganda- way.<br /><br />- The Cool Globes were exposed there during the Copenhagen Summit for Environment in December 2009 <span style="font-size:85%;"><www.coolglobes.com></www.coolglobes.com></span><br />- Sustainable design solutions were shown -in collaboration with an exhibition at the Danish Center for Design, DDC, if I am correct <span style="font-size:85%;"><www.ddc.dk></www.ddc.dk></span><br />- Exhibitions describing the water issues in the world were seen there.<br /><br />This time it is an <span style="font-weight: bold;">urban lounge space</span> with huge white cushions to cheel out on. Right next to that <span style="font-weight: bold;">"The Wal"</span> is a virtual interactive museum-wall describing the history and characteristics of Copenhagen. It seems those special installations are there to promote the city and the urban lifestyle while the metro works are pulling trees out from the original tree circle of the square and making the crossing over of the Kgs.Nytorv something of a military exercice for pedestrians.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJEDwWDg2QEfFcDGE-MfRLZRcpa721hSDAn46jafJip64a6YsAdKExJBiXasicPUo0afvXQt5Bpf7R9EU7ajitXjtsZQY7-CRKCN6hAZ5wzBpdQrO7Gv1l5d39CmWNy3mDKiNLfetdXG0s/s1600/P8200006.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJEDwWDg2QEfFcDGE-MfRLZRcpa721hSDAn46jafJip64a6YsAdKExJBiXasicPUo0afvXQt5Bpf7R9EU7ajitXjtsZQY7-CRKCN6hAZ5wzBpdQrO7Gv1l5d39CmWNy3mDKiNLfetdXG0s/s400/P8200006.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509601369243340946" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkltzo9Mm6kH92-ODi2-IICmoUGfvOhLzcjQx5lwkSS9h4ZL2bWPRN8CotKfAoCyVCo-nbGWNam1sE0Sh4MutXoYLq4fg3t8RHFM1GZ6sTU5WIEhtCi50U8VyVZpjBVcm9tFtLaSAsSILL/s1600/P8200007.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkltzo9Mm6kH92-ODi2-IICmoUGfvOhLzcjQx5lwkSS9h4ZL2bWPRN8CotKfAoCyVCo-nbGWNam1sE0Sh4MutXoYLq4fg3t8RHFM1GZ6sTU5WIEhtCi50U8VyVZpjBVcm9tFtLaSAsSILL/s400/P8200007.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509601373292487186" border="0" /></a>Earlier on the week, going down to catch your metro, you would also have popped into a sound and image installation <span style="font-weight: bold;">"Urban Forest</span>". Heavy atmosphere, music and images suggesting to pause, to slow down in your rushy day planning and look around: we are hundreds, thousands of people passing here, running around in the city's web. Well, of course, you would say. But nonetheless, it is a stunning feeling you get when you take time to actually think about it.<br /><br />Amusement or distraction from the works? Publicity that should inject patience into the citizens and turists hoping to enjoy the recently restaured square?

This takes through memories and old photographs, in a search for truth. The art installation is as misterious and worrying as the history and the search in way that everything -object and subject- melt together in a strange feeling. I took home the book "It Has To Be This Way", about the exhibition and the process behind it, and will read it in the coming days. It seems the whole exhibition has to be searched through the different medias: art installation, film, pictures, sound, book...<br />In search of a search?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDUC0Ql502lDrMibjihXLGOzBGfh20GYG9dhA2EKsyBGrxO_jV6WOy_J_L2m0QLcDP81XOD3SgWTsmauV87Pj7bPBZvZdTUmUBLUIweyjwi_psr1CXQOyToEPnrga9jTuIIuoOGFk7HdfW/s1600/Image0068.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDUC0Ql502lDrMibjihXLGOzBGfh20GYG9dhA2EKsyBGrxO_jV6WOy_J_L2m0QLcDP81XOD3SgWTsmauV87Pj7bPBZvZdTUmUBLUIweyjwi_psr1CXQOyToEPnrga9jTuIIuoOGFk7HdfW/s400/Image0068.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509447453652844898" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf5B_2y-xOw-YEL_QVOmNsM5RAQWyFBU6sT-4OhZ-2LG4uwi-DOqoGqKjGVznBRjmDN4w2pFX2ejH5ibt292-aI9JIwcm4ybrpGo7AvYljtHLTAFAW67EGLQZ2MjgxUOiC9k0zdjh0X4N_/s1600/Image0072.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf5B_2y-xOw-YEL_QVOmNsM5RAQWyFBU6sT-4OhZ-2LG4uwi-DOqoGqKjGVznBRjmDN4w2pFX2ejH5ibt292-aI9JIwcm4ybrpGo7AvYljtHLTAFAW67EGLQZ2MjgxUOiC9k0zdjh0X4N_/s400/Image0072.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509447456447383378" border="0" /></a>Before getting to the right spot, due to -or should I say "thanks to"- confusing panels, I was directed to the <span style="font-weight: bold;">permanent photographs collection</span> of the museum.

Mandag aften gik vi op af Langelinie og et smut igennem Amaliehaven - et af min fars favorit punkter på turen. Mand må sige at haven er jo planlagt af en Belgisk landskabsarkitekt. Oprindelig troede jeg det var Pechère men det er faktisk Jean Delognes som står bag det grønne og kanted byrum.<br /><br />I hvertfald er der noget af den belgisk tradition for have- og landskabskunst som er tydlig: et arbejd på den grønne farve skala og en diskret nuancering i funktionerne der skal integreres i en urban have, altså intime nicher, større vandringsalléer, perspektiver og iagttagelsesperioder.<br /><br />Jeg har ofte nævnt over for venner problemet med haven: for lidt lys om aften som giver utryghed i et offenligt rum (hvor tryghed er det vigtigste for at drage brugerne til sig på alle tidspunkter af dagen), en orientation som ikke stemmer med den eftersøgt og eftertragted udsigt mod havnen og en kostbar velligeholdelse af de geometriske buskater.<br /><br />Pussigt nok, havde min far fået fat i en artikel i <span style="font-style: italic;">Københavneravisen </span>som rammer lige på pletten og byder på forslag til en let forandring i fremtiden, i håb om at dette ville traffe brugernes -Københavnerne som turisterne- behov og ønsker til den have.

The thinking and process is based on human movement flows, inside-outside relationships, mathematical and structural logics. No wonder they both won the Pritzker Price.<br /><br />The only little scepticism I still might have about their work is that the purity of the forms and relationships they create is sometimes difficult to see unless you are told about them. This gap might give some frustrations to users or passing people, those who see and explore the building and their surroundings every day.<br /><br />I had the chance to visit the SANAA school in Essen: a splendid and fascinating masterpiece. But I only understood its role and situation in the site when I had visited it. It is to be seen from inside and the qualities and beauties of the industrial site are promoted from inside.<br /><br />Nonetheless, the detailling is rather superbe.<br /><br />Go and have a look!Christina K V Rasmussenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04292923320623146140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4597272885708400273.post-3529101241568991142010-07-26T17:16:00.011+02:002011-07-18T15:25:47.806+02:00Summer in Europe, summer in DenmarkWell, I have been on the move during the last month: discovering the nature's own spatial rules or Vauban's strategies in the building of forts on <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ile de Ré</span>, in France, discovering the religious and enlighted visions for an ideal city in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Richelieu</span>, in France, wondering around in Belgium and getting enthusiastic about the natural, medieval and contemporary dialogue in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Edinburgh</span>, Scotland.<br /><br />Pictures coming up here...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;

Jensen in <span style="font-weight: bold;">1958 </span>: extension for the main villa<br /><br />Louisiana is this wonderful place: a museum with the finest modern art you could dream of -one of the biggest in Scandinavia!- in a building stating the best of the Danish functionalism and in a natural context that is breath-taking. I trip to Louisiana is always like an energy treat to me! I look forward to any visit and live a long time on the inspiration I gather there!<br /><br />The founder Knud W. Jensen started up the museum with the intention to offer the Danes a place where they could enjoy the latest performances from the Danish Modern Art world. He had this idea to combine hot rooms and cool rooms on the visitor's road: the hot ones being the traditionnal Modern Art with wellknown and appreciated pieces and the cool ones being the last innovations eventually more complexe or provocative, more difficult to accept and understand. To this day it hosts up to 3000 pieces of post-war art history (after 1945).<br /><br />The functionalist building which everyone identifies as Louisiana is actually the extension(s) to the original mansion. The dialog between the natural and biological context, the view over the Øresund and the masterpieces makes the art and space experience, one of a kind.<br /><br />The sobre choice of materials the elegant lines and especially the spaces are typical for the Danish functionalism in architecture. But it is a functionalism integrated in its site and therefore much more succesful than maybe some work of Mies van der Rohe -remarkable buildings but so unfunctional in their functionalism. This integration to the site brings though one unfunctional effect: the museum is a labyrinth for those who aren't accustomed to the "wondering-around" visiting routine. The many meters of corridors -well, it is more than corridors because of the special relation to the nature just behind the window, but it is pure passage function- mustn't be very economical or ecological in terms of heating and maintenance...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPXehCneKMbVVqQVklk4d9yH9AhpNCTgrVDHm2zmHsqwyJGtEnSp_UCVftwaeOwDB5AI2U6EhVnArPM8PF6eYbYzjGVI5lTvLqkmNjjGE1TjNuvN0o1axb0nOMxFMYht8NEC2IL2KGmYyj/s1600/louisiana.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPXehCneKMbVVqQVklk4d9yH9AhpNCTgrVDHm2zmHsqwyJGtEnSp_UCVftwaeOwDB5AI2U6EhVnArPM8PF6eYbYzjGVI5lTvLqkmNjjGE1TjNuvN0o1axb0nOMxFMYht8NEC2IL2KGmYyj/s400/louisiana.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480525670674685250" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">picture - source : flickr.com</span><br /></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Warhol after Munch, the exhibition opening</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiJmfVYBe4y1JDoZC3SzmAH077Gq1ppa_bCqT7J-ySi4zUxni2r9QxhmLvNkx7SS6LxelMSIaSnYHtj3LJooHzDO55Bf_24hEnM1RvES44WoloTUa7EnYYGWFvK6xkEcDXPYBUOuVMvLOr/s1600/chwarhol-vs-munh.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 221px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiJmfVYBe4y1JDoZC3SzmAH077Gq1ppa_bCqT7J-ySi4zUxni2r9QxhmLvNkx7SS6LxelMSIaSnYHtj3LJooHzDO55Bf_24hEnM1RvES44WoloTUa7EnYYGWFvK6xkEcDXPYBUOuVMvLOr/s400/chwarhol-vs-munh.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480522864519961554" border="0" /></a>I was among the fortunate ones to see the exhibition in preview with a short presentation speach from one of the people in charge.<br /></div>For those who do not know Edvard Munch is the painter behind "The scream", which reputation has overtaken his creator. Norvegian painter from the 19th-20th century he is known to reveal through his work the cruel reality of life: illness and death. Tuberculose took his mother when he was 5 and his sister when he was 13 and he was himself weak in health. That could justify why the thought of death always darkens even his most light paintings.<br />Illness and death are very physical in his expression, linked to the suffering body -the "Madonna" is represented with an ill-looking foetus in the left corner, his self-portrait glows out of a dark space under which lies a skeleton arm, background figures seems like gosts, faces are thin and the eyes hollow. But I mean also physical in the way he uses the brush.<br />Somehow though I think -I choose to think- that this dark veil doesn't have to be a depressive and pessimistic view of life but rather a stetement of a harsh reality which is to be taken into consideration in order to enjoy and taste more intensively the good moments in life -so that you are conscious about your luck as long as you live.<br /><br />Facing those heavy thoughts about life, you could be surprised to see a light spirit such as Andy Warhol. But the exhibition intends to show how Warhol actually reflects more deeply through his work and, on the opposite, how Munch maybe might be more superficial. The exhibitions traces the two artists' similarities: the choice of subjects as death, fear and sexuality, the use of repetition as a tool for strong and direct communication, the use of prints and gravure, their provocative spirit and critisized work.<br /><br />In fact, Warhol used four of Munch's gravures, scaled them up and tainted them with those bright colours that are so typical for his work and the work of the publicity industry: Munch's selfportrait, the Madonna, the Scream and the Broche-Eva Mudocci. Their reproduction and sometimes combination -the Self-portrait and the Madonna, as a couple and a condensed life frieze- arrise new interrogations and reactivates the feelings that were at the origin of their making, but within a new era of communication and flashy effects.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr0fF0skXuJ_9squzMq0mc3eLFuZBs75VtFr29IQpKSnUpQ_a8Q8jG-eAEG7Na5DD2DpykAy9OQQLCEps4xFRjSRGvpmRMPR8htxrNystjBIeLPHbbFZYpDmticlWlgN_QAsjy-OhfvtKx/s1600/warhol-after-munch.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 357px; height: 281px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr0fF0skXuJ_9squzMq0mc3eLFuZBs75VtFr29IQpKSnUpQ_a8Q8jG-eAEG7Na5DD2DpykAy9OQQLCEps4xFRjSRGvpmRMPR8htxrNystjBIeLPHbbFZYpDmticlWlgN_QAsjy-OhfvtKx/s400/warhol-after-munch.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480522869155036898" border="0" /></a>Anyhow, the exhibition is fascinating and intriguing both by its object and subjects: the reasons to oppose or unite these two giants of the Modern Art world, aswell as the two painters themselves and their work. So for either one reason or the other, go and have a look. It is definitely worth it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Farven i Kunsten -The colours in art-, quick review of the magnificent exhibition</span><br />I was there at Easter a first time but the quality, beauty and quantity is so overwhelming that review(s) are necessary and enjoyable. The aim of this exhibition is to show the evolution of the use and reflections behind colours in mordern pictural art through the 20th century. The technic is scalled up to show how colour is used, where, in which proportion and which tonalities. The reflactions from the different painters are to read on the walls through the visit. The masterpieces and their many authors are to be enjoyed. I discovered many painters I didn't know, saw some of the gods I knew, was surprised by some sides of others, ravished by the energy they transmit to the viewer: how incredible and wonderful that such a thing as a painting -an object- can be so alive! It is just fantastic! Go if you haven't yet -the exhibition is open till the 13th June!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhdMKPIb5vgiLz7bEVtndjrt6Evaf4bv8SzxvApbp4ixAg-GFZlT4ULXDov3tSmLsQ5FTo3qSZ7xtP0tKI4Ag1hpcRx6fgpccIpHBOZc2qbjk87df8FB7qa1P4hljRL_4kHl3ioinmWKpD/s1600/farvenikunsten.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 248px; height: 181px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhdMKPIb5vgiLz7bEVtndjrt6Evaf4bv8SzxvApbp4ixAg-GFZlT4ULXDov3tSmLsQ5FTo3qSZ7xtP0tKI4Ag1hpcRx6fgpccIpHBOZc2qbjk87df8FB7qa1P4hljRL_4kHl3ioinmWKpD/s400/farvenikunsten.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480522883104414834" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">pictures - source : www.louisiana.dk<br /></span></div>Christina K V Rasmussenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04292923320623146140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4597272885708400273.post-86035261269812466522010-06-03T23:21:00.008+02:002010-06-05T01:11:32.550+02:00Politics and architecture...?<span style="font-weight: bold;">Arkitekturby København - Københavns Kommunes Arkitekturpolitik 2009</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Copenhagen City of architecture - Copenhagen Municipality architecture politic 2009</span><br /><br />Debat organised by DAC and cphX<br />Speakers <span style="font-weight: bold;">Bo Asmus Kjeldgaard</span>, Teknik- og Miljøforvaltning borgmester, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ulrik Winge</span> from Center for Bydesign, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ulla Tofte</span> from Golden Days, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Martin Keiding</span>, chief redactor at Arkitektur DK, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Simon Harboe</span> from Hovedstadens forskønnelse and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Rasmus Rune</span> from 2+1 idébureau.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYdzZ-H-bSGoXGxsovH8bOpvRiuBmiHrP3NegU1ZgJ034PqNrd9Pr7WCKCWnFVGdFT94jk-MPtSN9DSbb7719HWLENdOY282Boz0XIT0B1pfaCn14huVjejCInux_o_0KiwCVxYFWPECLe/s1600/ArkitekturPolitiken_KBH.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 259px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYdzZ-H-bSGoXGxsovH8bOpvRiuBmiHrP3NegU1ZgJ034PqNrd9Pr7WCKCWnFVGdFT94jk-MPtSN9DSbb7719HWLENdOY282Boz0XIT0B1pfaCn14huVjejCInux_o_0KiwCVxYFWPECLe/s400/ArkitekturPolitiken_KBH.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479059097791759154" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">illustration - source : Publication Arkitekturby K</span><span style="font-size:78%;">øbenhavn, Center for Bydesign, Teknik- og Milj</span><span style="font-size:78%;">øforvaltning, 2009</span><br /></div><br />In December 2009 was published the new architecture politic for the city of Copenhagen. It is the result of a long research and work process but still the politicians and people in charge from the Technical and Environmental Group are eager to hear what people have to say about it and what could be pointed out as aspect to work on for the future.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bo Asmus Kjeldgaard</span> and Ulrik Winge started by presenting the general aspects of the architecture politic. In the General Plan from 1954 was stated that the development of Copenhagen was coming to its end: no more will, no more could, no more should be done or built. This has proved to be a mistake. In 2001, the first architecture politic was a reaction to a city in need of attracting citizens and inhabitants in order to develop itself. Now the city is under such a development that it is necessary to evaluate the needs and lifestyle of those inhabitants in order to keep the good and work on the bad spaces.<br /><br />Another point is that Copenhagen aims to become a CO2 neutral city, the first CO2 neutral capital in the world, by 2025. Ambitious plan! But to <span style="font-weight: bold;">achieve sustainability</span> in such a way and time needs a support and guidelines which should be provided by this architectrue politic. But Bo Asmus estimates that Copenhagen wouldn't find to much of an issue in the sustainable part.<br /><br />On the contrary the health and care are subjects for complaining. Therefore the architecture politic is <span style="font-weight: bold;">reflecting a lot on the </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">city's rooms</span>, supporting thereby the city for the people living in it and working on the human scale. This point is somehow related to Jan Gehl's work and Bo Asmus uses the architect's latest publication (<span style="font-style: italic;">By for mennesker</span> - <span style="font-style: italic;">City for people</span>) in order to define this aspect: 1. sustainable behaviour, 2. accessibility, 3. safety and 4. mixity and diversity.<br /><br />Finally Bo Asmus expresses the desire to <span style="font-weight: bold;">talk about more than city and architecture</span>, but also about <span style="font-weight: bold;">qualities</span>. Those are the conditions <span style="font-style: italic;">sine qua non</span> for good urban life.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ulrik Winge</span> then reminded us the frame that is established with the architectural politic. Because it is a frame, giving guidelines and purposes for the design of the city space. It should be a <span style="font-weight: bold;">tool for communication</span> between parties. It sets objectives for four aspects:<br /><ol><li>the IDENTITY or speciality of Copenhagen : what is special about the city? What is to be kept or to be developped?</li><li>the ARCHITECTURE of Copenhagen : in order to become the world's environmental metropole in 2025, the architecture of the city should enhance environmental-friendly using behaviour, diversity and identification of the people to their city and city part and it should work on every scale and level.</li><li>the URBAN SPACE in Copenhagen : by setting focus on the city life, then the spaces and finally the buildings (and not the other way around) the city should be more <span style="font-style: italic;">behaviour inviting</span> -not forcing- and a new expectation set on the clever examination of borders -from public to private for instance.</li><li>the PROCESSES : it is important to know how to get to the results and to inlighten the projects and demands from every side and with help of every concerned discipline.</li></ol>The four following speakers were invited in order to boost and spice up the debat. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ulla Tofte </span>underlined that Copenhagen was made first of all of <span style="font-style: italic;">Københavner</span>, the inhabitants : they are the core of the city and should be given more opportunities and tools in order to get involved into the city's shaping. If the city should be for its people then it should be made by the people, just as history shows it in great projects such as <span style="font-style: italic;">Brumleby</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Kartoffelrækkerne, Christiania </span>or other projects brought onto the municipality by the citizens!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Martin Keiding</span> expressed his perception of Copenhagen's identity being the light vs the tranquil darkness -or <span style="font-style: italic;">tusmørke</span>- and the background architecture. This last part is represented by the typical carré typology of red bricks and big windows or by old warehouse or factory buildings, being a heritage to accept and integrate in the contemporary city.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Simon Harboe</span> was worried about an architecture politic planned for a recreative city, a city for young students, sports and outdoor people, creative freaks and mothers on "maternity vacation", drinking café latte and sitting on benches in the parks. Where is the everyday man, the businessman, the hard working citizen, the tired person doing the grossary before getting home, the traffic jam, the road work and so? And also, are we going to do any statement or correction on Ørestad?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rasmus Rune</span> was worried about an architecture politic where the word <span style="font-style: italic;">multidisciplinarity</span> doesn't appear in the process thinking, even though the plan shows to be quite <span style="font-style: italic;">multidisciplinary</span>. He insists on the fact that good architecture needs more than good architects today. The city space is so complexe nowadays that other disciplines have to be integrated in the thinking and conceiving processes, as well as the citizens. In order to allow innovation, the citizens need to be concerned with the project from the very beginning of it. That need a clearer paragraph in the architecture politic.<br /><br />Afterwards, the debat took place between speakers and the public. Several questions were brought on about Ørestad. Is it a flop or not? Where are the faults? What can we learn from them?<br /><br />Another point was the difference between plan and reality when it comes to life, diversity and economical accessibility in a new city part. Even if visions and objectives can be established, how is the municipality or the politicians to control it? There is an economic reality of standing and market that results in a waterfront occupied by the most well-off citizens. The same situation happens in many renovated city parts: the gentrification spreads. Nothing can be done unless enhancing the opportunity for commercial activities and social diversity -by heights and sizes legislated by local plans.<br /><br />Questions about connections were arised also. What about biking bridges and connexions obstructing the houseboat traffic and security ? What about connections of the new city parts such as Sluseholmen -which still is waiting for a bridge to link it effectively to the city center? What about social network in terms of schools and institutions for disabled or others, that would support diversity in a neighbourhood and traffic exchanges between neighbourhoods?<br /><br />And the funny questions: how much responsability should be given to citizens -<span style="font-style: italic;">Københavnerne</span>- who are known to be complaining about anything? Wouldn't it slow down some processes -even though their veto has saved the city from some questionable projects, such as the high houses at Krøyers Plads or the Foster skyskraper close by Tivoli?<br /><br />Finally as conclusion, it was said that Copenhagen could be proud of such an initiative: not many cities actually know and express what they want and where they are moving to, in terms of architecture and urban spaces. Many could really use an architectural politic! Stockholm has been on visit to Copenhagen in order to study the backstage of the architecture politic initiative and the forces behing CopenhagenX initiative. They would like to start such ones too in their homeland. Also I would hope Brussels could have a look to and maybe somehow unite around such an initiative...<br /><br />That's all for now, folks!<br /><br />See also the report and comments on http://www.cphx.dk/#/428550/Christina K V Rasmussenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04292923320623146140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4597272885708400273.post-88766928913858122762010-06-01T22:14:00.017+02:002010-06-04T12:30:00.737+02:00Biking between buildings...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAy7mX1XwNww5t9IW7MYrQR8CniWA8I9Ib-JTCUqKxZF0v_sozvGYdOzyYJSqWhJkyI6-L8sIvhosfENuwF0bbxP6Id7hRnW6yaKlAugqleDn31-qXT-51IUH25zcPbu2HTLWD37If5KPq/s1600/P5300128.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAy7mX1XwNww5t9IW7MYrQR8CniWA8I9Ib-JTCUqKxZF0v_sozvGYdOzyYJSqWhJkyI6-L8sIvhosfENuwF0bbxP6Id7hRnW6yaKlAugqleDn31-qXT-51IUH25zcPbu2HTLWD37If5KPq/s400/P5300128.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478842357657576466" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">...through Holmbladgade and its many times awarded urban renovation project - </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Holmbladsgade kvarter løft</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> - down Prags Boulevard and to Amager Beach - </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Amager Strand Park</span><br /><br />Again a guided tour organised by DAC and CopenhagenX !<br /><div style="text-align: left;">If you haven't tried them yet, I really recommend them!<br /></div><br />This sunday, the theme was around the urban lift, or renovation, that Amager East has been achieving during the past years. The whole process has been very long and slow because it integrated a collaboration with the inhabitants of Amager, right from the beginning. This results in a succesful renovation which is now quite recognised and rewarded abroad: the best metro without conductor, the best metro (both prices received in London) and a price for its lighting plan at the City People Light Award 2004 in Brussels.<br /><br />Among the renovation projects, you'll find the <span style="font-style: italic;">Holmbladsgade kvarter l</span><span style="font-style: italic;">øft, </span><span>the <span style="font-style: italic;">Amager Strand park</span> and other ongoing projects.</span><span> Which were the principle/desires behind the projects?</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><span>1 to upgrade the city part energy wise and develop a sustainable city<br />2 to support the existing maritime look and environment<br />3 to link the city part to the coast and the sea<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Brown fields renewal and industrial heritage: several sites with each their characteristics</span><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">It is important for the city part to express such principles since it is part of the process of understanding the identity of the site and its inhabitants. Many parts of Copenhagen are witnessing a renewal or uplift after a period of neglect or just ignorance of their potentials. A great deal of the eastern part of Copenhagen -the artificial islands Refshal island, Margretheholmen, Prøvestenen and Amager- were subject to past industrial functions. Many of them have closed down and left some strange noman's land with old -and beautiful, actually-<br />buildings and factories. Where Amager was more of a factory location, the three other mentionned islands have hosted heavier industry. The trend tends to move slowly the remaining industrial activities to Prøvestenen and start a rehabilitation of the gained grounds: Refshal island and Magretheholmen are to become, one day, a dense city part with creative functions in an industrial heritage.<br />Such undertakings has been seen already along the waterfront and in the west of Copenhagen with Kødbyen -the meattown or butcher market- and Carlsberg site -the project was won by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Entasis</span>.</span><br /><br />The tour starts at the Amagerbro metro station. The square at the exit of the metro has been developped as the metro station was planed there. The metro is a very important link of that city part to the historical city center and to the airport. It allowed to start the renewal because suddenly Amagerbro was somehow closer in the city user's mental map.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Holmbladsgade </span>renewal plan is a combination of square renewals, a lighting plan (it seems it is the first lighting plan integrated to a project and not just added on top...quite revolutionnary for Cph, tells one of the guides) and social projects, such as a library, a sport hall, an activity house for the neighbourhood...It is also a plan integrating one of the "green biking roads" in Cph ( on Prags boulevard) and a strategy of small passages and streets going perpendicularly down to the water. Both of them favorises the light traffic: pedestrians and bikes.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKR81SrT4jvbAmpVD-za5bTC4aAstYZSUd_bgJA8dH08fpBNQN4Ncm2gtQU-H5ysdfFKTSb-TniMZZ-fTuLKDyMyWSf42WRNx_K5OfVIV7oSvYSUy0Rv9iuQXqogmqGEx9WpOAPiYieLZ_/s1600/P5300095.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKR81SrT4jvbAmpVD-za5bTC4aAstYZSUd_bgJA8dH08fpBNQN4Ncm2gtQU-H5ysdfFKTSb-TniMZZ-fTuLKDyMyWSf42WRNx_K5OfVIV7oSvYSUy0Rv9iuQXqogmqGEx9WpOAPiYieLZ_/s400/P5300095.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478843544730967522" border="0" /></a><br /><span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Biking down Prags boulevard</span>...<br />The bike boulevard has been conceived by the landscape architect studio, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kristine Jensens Tegnestue</span>.

The chairs are movable so that groups of friends can gather for an evenig bbq or a little publicum can get around the stage, etc. (they are made in iron though in order to discourage stealing)<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi49xNtU70H4ImWCRS4oRQ2ahrd_KBjz-_9jQMLj8SJ_nRl3yM4Tixjk-G_hM5j6zKEakOZ47SvesxRAYfYFYMIiD7Kud9LQV4dbWSo0ogZ0WCYeytVxFshbj_EIZcxnHyST6uun2HlTDv1/s1600/P5300154.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi49xNtU70H4ImWCRS4oRQ2ahrd_KBjz-_9jQMLj8SJ_nRl3yM4Tixjk-G_hM5j6zKEakOZ47SvesxRAYfYFYMIiD7Kud9LQV4dbWSo0ogZ0WCYeytVxFshbj_EIZcxnHyST6uun2HlTDv1/s400/P5300154.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478847358798162946" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaXR3ufq1qKW8wM9UcQC4_Jp2oFcGAjqYNJopL_4hwZRKzsFKyxwj4xgnKFiv9REmghsDCEm1KsGEr-XwOHmchLMA5jAJbf1E1N8zy9NarQXun7v99hcLbSAmGt7qMdSVHzxfl-pd7NE95/s1600/P5300157.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaXR3ufq1qKW8wM9UcQC4_Jp2oFcGAjqYNJopL_4hwZRKzsFKyxwj4xgnKFiv9REmghsDCEm1KsGEr-XwOHmchLMA5jAJbf1E1N8zy9NarQXun7v99hcLbSAmGt7qMdSVHzxfl-pd7NE95/s400/P5300157.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478847364677371410" border="0" /></a><span>Two main stops to observe two buildings by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dorte Mandrup architects</span>: the neighbourhood house -<span style="font-style: italic;">Kvarterhus</span>- and the multisport hall, also known as the <span style="font-style: italic;">Prism</span>.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHTH0HUhzJDjtFYcFlSZIr7K3oqccQ1L6GlEdpXCZVHxXF9AKuGCKgiATNH6ERj5zCXCF4qZxsrLXT-nDCZdsdPXkNkSN55PW4S_sr3C9xcqGBDDa0KMqpzyMLij_UgWZlS2yWPHCgAt-5/s1600/P5300098.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHTH0HUhzJDjtFYcFlSZIr7K3oqccQ1L6GlEdpXCZVHxXF9AKuGCKgiATNH6ERj5zCXCF4qZxsrLXT-nDCZdsdPXkNkSN55PW4S_sr3C9xcqGBDDa0KMqpzyMLij_UgWZlS2yWPHCgAt-5/s400/P5300098.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478843538204659090" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdyVUpKqjR1fjr6Nmzb-rlgThc4cQ8t-jjLuRoiH7EnqE0woNawNKZ26o_Fs724pmi6VuXsbb88sASA1PvxrDXSub4r4wsNehMQUor4YFW4TmND7jKbu5L6jwK7d792qybVL2B2_HfZy0Y/s1600/P5300101.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdyVUpKqjR1fjr6Nmzb-rlgThc4cQ8t-jjLuRoiH7EnqE0woNawNKZ26o_Fs724pmi6VuXsbb88sASA1PvxrDXSub4r4wsNehMQUor4YFW4TmND7jKbu5L6jwK7d792qybVL2B2_HfZy0Y/s400/P5300101.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478847340798421874" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjowiQWc_FKnwAxfNIzFGocKZupIvUAghWASGdmmZNgAUlPpLEkT-UH4Rx39dErzSk8hzHZ1uR8pjkSD5FlN9kd8-tCIBWbP-HDSqA7NA3cMlggPzHP7dlax8aPDncE9iwW301VjqDj6hv/s1600/P5300105.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjowiQWc_FKnwAxfNIzFGocKZupIvUAghWASGdmmZNgAUlPpLEkT-UH4Rx39dErzSk8hzHZ1uR8pjkSD5FlN9kd8-tCIBWbP-HDSqA7NA3cMlggPzHP7dlax8aPDncE9iwW301VjqDj6hv/s400/P5300105.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478843551084921154" border="0" /></a><span>The first one is a rehabilitation of an old factory from 1880. This city part is packed with old buildings from a previour industrial life. The renewal isn't just tearing them down, but renovates them and give them a function fiting the present demands of th users. In the <span style="font-style: italic;">Kvarterhus</span>, the slabs have been taken out in order to give free height to entrance part and link all functions by around that one space. A wooden structure with niches has been applied onto the facade, functionning as windows between in and out, esthetic and atmosphere bringing to the outside terrasse and -I suspect it but without certainty- a structural role of support for the "slab-free facade". The most known part of the project is the extension at the back: a room for gathering, discussing, meeting...made of wood and glass and a huge bookshelf on the inner side.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimIqqLLzcmu9nFr1-WY4ujpacPIrkMzhtySGg2MtD2E8MrLzBGZNyoT6nuPcZ3BKXcxwtRmdsVoUL_52ZmL8qtGXF-VVykDyc0jtxYtRuBeJMvz6Z62Ei4j9jjwSgMhkRCM-VsvvAhyphenhyphen3ee/s1600/P5300115.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimIqqLLzcmu9nFr1-WY4ujpacPIrkMzhtySGg2MtD2E8MrLzBGZNyoT6nuPcZ3BKXcxwtRmdsVoUL_52ZmL8qtGXF-VVykDyc0jtxYtRuBeJMvz6Z62Ei4j9jjwSgMhkRCM-VsvvAhyphenhyphen3ee/s400/P5300115.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478847342269381170" border="0" /></a><span>The second one, <span style="font-style: italic;">Prismen</span>, closes of a typical "carré" by stretching out the three gables into a huge volume. This method allows more light into the existing backyards than if the "carré" just was closed with buildings of same height. The inner organisation isas described: the ground floor serves sprots such as soccer, handball, volley, etc., while the plateaus higher up are used for observation, gathering or just less space demanding activities such as combat sports, yoga, meditaion. The facade is translucent, revealing to the outside what is happening inside -especially when it is lit at night.<br />I call the two projects social because they are meant to create a safe frame where young people can exercice and use their energy in a constructive way.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The undone projects...</span><br />The citizens have favoured many projects but also layed down veto for too ambitious or "crazy" proposals. Nevertheless they are steps in a greater reflexion on the city, how it functions and how it could look like...<br />One of those projects, and maybe one of the most discussed, is <span style="font-style: italic;">Kløvermarken</span>. It is a huge green field for soccer and outdoor sport. Many discussions have occured about should it stay as it is -a big outdoor green ground for free recreative use- or should it be built and integrated to the city? When the politician Rit Bjergaard suggested that Cph needed 5000 more housings at a fair price of 5000 DKK -the 5000 til 5000 suggestion- <span style="font-weight: bold;">Bjarke Ingels Group</span> came up with the idea to build the perimeter of the field up to a wall of housings. The existing sport fields would be kept in the center and the built frame would work its way up and down depending on the surroun dings and the access to the green center. Politicians were seduced on that rapid and effective answer, but citizens got frighten. The project were never fulfilled but the idea was tremendous, in my opinion (check out on big.dk, KLM 2006).<br />Since then <span style="font-weight: bold;">Vandkunsten </span>has come with another proposal but nothing is sure yet about who or even if there'll be a project there.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Strandlodsvej and Lergravsvej</span><br />Still very marked by the ancient functions, this part contrasts strongly with the first visited part.<br />Here also the metro pops up from its otherwise underground path, creating a dividing wall in the landscape. This less succesful part is at the origin of groups such as the "Metro group" which aims to learn from those mistakes and rectify it by the best means. Again the citizens show to be very active in the making of their city.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_DYyaVN_Evs9uaTWCj8vfXyZLYhMxj_Y1pBpdm4tiFVYC__OSgRDtfa7j0_GBfdUJCFMaP9ON5-plyUnCrSJJEuPdCWLe6LuMPtT44KIy9_TbE_dzLudbLAx7bfeFaWiCOd52Vi80jneS/s1600/P5300122.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_DYyaVN_Evs9uaTWCj8vfXyZLYhMxj_Y1pBpdm4tiFVYC__OSgRDtfa7j0_GBfdUJCFMaP9ON5-plyUnCrSJJEuPdCWLe6LuMPtT44KIy9_TbE_dzLudbLAx7bfeFaWiCOd52Vi80jneS/s400/P5300122.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478855557764781858" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">The gaz silo, emblem to Amager and its industrial heritage - its is to be preserved and rehabilitated somehow.

Connected by bridges, ponctuated by a few concrete bungalows, the island becomes a part of the strandpromenade. Pedestrians and bikers can now enjoy the rich natur - especially the flora-, the panorama view over the Øresund and the crossing ferry traffic. Sports like kite-surfing and wind-surfing are very popular here.

The club buildings had to be put down during the realisation of the project but have been rebuilt now.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A maritime environment</span><br />One of the most published projects must be the Maritime Youth Club, designed by <span style="font-weight: bold;">PLOT (BIG+JDS)</span>, inaugurated in 2004. A waving wooden deck, under the corners of which class room and workshop spaces have been built, as well as space for storing canoës and kayaks. The remarkable points with this project is how every m² is used and how the architects turned a strong site pollution issue into a boosting element for the shaping of the project. As I mentionned earlier, this city part hosted heavy industry in its early days. This caused heavy metal ground pollution. Digging into the ground would disturb the stability and enhance the pollution effect. Plus, it would cost a great deal to move the polluted earth. So the deck sollution -building over ground- allowed to concentrated the budget on responding to the neighbourhood's needs and avoid a "pollution revival". The deck allows also to profit of m² under and over it. Again the prupose with the project was to give a social and safe frame for kids to use their energy on a constructive way, instead of hanging around and even maybe cause damages.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje_i03T21nlZN5oabQgFZmgDcIrY43IxnCUug0GgDYNiZnDCqZkICm0sa4Sh3HuG55ZZaGBTX0lbWoBWBzeU3Cf_gb2AUPPGYNhmELYnURkaTypxa3ta9MZpIOHU9an78b2pps5TfHH6nu/s1600/P5300120.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje_i03T21nlZN5oabQgFZmgDcIrY43IxnCUug0GgDYNiZnDCqZkICm0sa4Sh3HuG55ZZaGBTX0lbWoBWBzeU3Cf_gb2AUPPGYNhmELYnURkaTypxa3ta9MZpIOHU9an78b2pps5TfHH6nu/s400/P5300120.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478855563627855730" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyin4FFMKLB3-tO0nrjKJcgPpBz2hD2FgVCD2X-sZsvIpdeNo9O1KJdp2_rV6jkKf-yH1uBQmoIgTi74O8BknOXfP5H8nvRubLn1Eer2viBNzH2Qrf7XXeUIOd4m7PUyWQg_H6YuqLeHGc/s1600/P1010158.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyin4FFMKLB3-tO0nrjKJcgPpBz2hD2FgVCD2X-sZsvIpdeNo9O1KJdp2_rV6jkKf-yH1uBQmoIgTi74O8BknOXfP5H8nvRubLn1Eer2viBNzH2Qrf7XXeUIOd4m7PUyWQg_H6YuqLeHGc/s400/P1010158.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478855576475028530" border="0" /></a><span><span style="font-size:78%;">picture taken 01/01/10 - the deck is very slippery then: take care!

Jeg må sige igen: modernismen har integreret sig godt i det danske ladnskab og virker mere vellykket end andre steder. Diskret og nydeligt. Der er noget ved de hvide murer og sobre linjer som passer godt til den danske himmel og kyst.<br /><br />Et andet bevis på dette er de smukke bygninger af Arne Jakobsen ved Klampenborg og den smukke benzin station - ja, hvem vil tro en bezin station kunne være smuk?

But finally after some slalom between the streets, the runners and the many spectators I got to Søren Kierkegaards plads for the start of the tour. What I didn't imagine was that actually the marathon would follow us during the whole tour or was it us following them...Anyway, the contrast from last week's tour was drastic! So few users on the watersides last week, and a crowd - ca. 12000 runners and probably as many spectators - today!<br /><br />Brave and courageous we were and especially our guide who had to manage somehow to talk over the cheering fans, the police's little ochestra playing "Under the sea" from Disney's Little mermaid and the sonorous horns and whistles of some enthusiasts.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaKHUpCz31t5AU-F9RGAeRWt5mRtZ_3HS7T9_s2imdVEn1c0UCTzuSXbnrttM5VdF0Z9U9nsRD9998x1vOzw7Z4dKMylWRI78V6dUWQAQyjhfNPuj_k-FgAq8M4-8ISYPHZZ1q8QBw-G0t/s1600/P5230061.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaKHUpCz31t5AU-F9RGAeRWt5mRtZ_3HS7T9_s2imdVEn1c0UCTzuSXbnrttM5VdF0Z9U9nsRD9998x1vOzw7Z4dKMylWRI78V6dUWQAQyjhfNPuj_k-FgAq8M4-8ISYPHZZ1q8QBw-G0t/s400/P5230061.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474461219178015954" border="0" /></a>So, starting at the edge of the Metropolzone, at Søren Kierkegaards plads, our guide presents the projects of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Black Diamond</span> (<span style="font-weight: bold;">Schmidt Hammer Lassen</span>) and the <span style="font-style: italic;">Museum for Jewish History</span> (<span style="font-weight: bold;">Daniel Libeskind</span>) with a reflexion on the squares at the feet of the two buildings: what are their function? How are they used? Are they used? What weakenesses do they present? The last questions here are especially relevant for the hollow space that <span style="font-weight: bold;">Schmidt Hammer Lassen</span> designed out in front of the library. Close to the building, the space is well used thanks to the café who develops its terrasse close to the water. But the rest is a huge empty space for bike-parking and well, it isn't really defined. Like if it wasn't really finished.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhwHZybfuE_x3qDgJzSDScI6dz-sOb5lhWjrjaZd5F9yoqfRrJkPMUT9Z_qoJkqjA0837idZFcnna8rpE8ft43o57Hg4Lq7nxjPNHfefsn5gzBaFDGctewBzeYfp1nfdFFqwyrNHBXgUaE/s1600/P5230048.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhwHZybfuE_x3qDgJzSDScI6dz-sOb5lhWjrjaZd5F9yoqfRrJkPMUT9Z_qoJkqjA0837idZFcnna8rpE8ft43o57Hg4Lq7nxjPNHfefsn5gzBaFDGctewBzeYfp1nfdFFqwyrNHBXgUaE/s400/P5230048.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474461200257273970" border="0" /></a>But hopefully this will change with the new building on the <span style="font-style: italic;">Bryghusgrunden</span>, the Brewhous ground, (<span style="font-weight: bold;">Rem Koolhaas - OMA</span>) and the square would be activated by both sides. Also, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Gehl architects</span> are investigating and working on the square. They are architects but consider themselves most as urban planners and urban quality consultants. Read the famous <span style="font-style: italic;">Life between buildings</span> by Jan Gehl and you will understand why: this is THE reference in terms of urban space and creating urbanity.<br /><br />The <span style="font-style: italic;">Bryghus </span>project is for the moment being validaded. If everything goes well the building process should start in 2011...The project is huge: a combination of offices, housing, cultural institutions, conference center, public spaces and exhibitions, urban promenade, squares and play-grounds etc. Very exciting in terms of life and flows generated and intertwining on the site.<br /><br />Next stop is the Nycredit <span style="font-style: italic;">Glaskuben </span>building and the <span style="font-style: italic;">Crystal </span>(both by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Schmidt Hammer Lassen</span>). It must be the third or fourth time I am told about the <span style="font-style: italic;">Crystal </span>and if I hadn't checked it out in a guide or on the architects'website, I would be able to define its function: extension to the Nycredit bank head-quarters. It seems that the most important here is the "crystal" allegory, the twisted structure touching the ground in three points and allowing public flow to pass under the building. The liberated ground will receive the <span style="font-style: italic;">Cloud </span>landscape project (<span style="font-weight: bold;">SLA</span>, who has recently received one of the most reknow prices in the Danish architectural world): focus has been set on the different type of streams on the site, rushing businessmen, wondering tourists, Sunday walkers, bikes... each moving at their speed on their path.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8Sls6ENDqBkHdvT7fDkPzxkFR-6aVVMEbmW4B6vWuVht8RIr9-zWQ3Ns85jRmX4wR7vuEDK0ZGCsLRt2IYxgJ50-uaB13VcFLxdiVx11jcT6woujNaMQLieyEfXbgspyOF0r6EhgItYZM/s1600/P5230055.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8Sls6ENDqBkHdvT7fDkPzxkFR-6aVVMEbmW4B6vWuVht8RIr9-zWQ3Ns85jRmX4wR7vuEDK0ZGCsLRt2IYxgJ50-uaB13VcFLxdiVx11jcT6woujNaMQLieyEfXbgspyOF0r6EhgItYZM/s400/P5230055.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474461208316930354" border="0" /></a>All those projects are situated only 10 minutes walk from the City Hall, Rådhuspladsen and the central station. But too few notice it. Therefore the City is aiming to develop access to the waterfront, to the cultural buildings - e.g. by creating a cultural axe - and connecting the wity centre with the new dynamics happening on the watersides, as they are developping the Metropolzone.<br /><br />Kalvebod brygge, which is the name of the city part we are exploring, is about to host the <span style="font-style: italic;">Kalvebod bølge</span> project (<span style="font-weight: bold;">Julien de Smedt</span>), in a year or so. The purpose here is to create activation/activity sites in the city and on the water. In a mainly business dedicaded area, where quite some projects have risen without a logic and harmony to their context, those interventions mean to saw together the parts, and provide the area with a regained urban quality.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHCntpiJSjNhnpUM0MHN4-992fflSvboJz6pNXzqmqA9XuSo9NMtNLmbc0lrGbVdCKMYlAq6EyeJEZavHHD-VBt1J6KBSR6lDifN-brRGAgdrxzFPeSnHMQyU0NzUBVnExLZjw14Pj_6SN/s1600/P5230064.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHCntpiJSjNhnpUM0MHN4-992fflSvboJz6pNXzqmqA9XuSo9NMtNLmbc0lrGbVdCKMYlAq6EyeJEZavHHD-VBt1J6KBSR6lDifN-brRGAgdrxzFPeSnHMQyU0NzUBVnExLZjw14Pj_6SN/s400/P5230064.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474463195192316994" border="0" /></a>We arrive slowly to the end of the tour with the SEB bank building, designed by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lundgaard & Tranberg</span>. True to their reputation, the detailling is as beautiful as the buildings plasticity! In fact, it appears through my observations that the plasticity can only be right when the detailling is right.

This green path extends from the "blue one", the main canal and waterfront. They profit from each other and should work together to bring life and quality to Kalvebod. The green path will be a part of the new green biking paths passing through the city. If I am right, the landscape architects from SLA work on this project too.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNv-H5NyhsQTtzDnY5sl8xptK1Q-6IimplvRVYI4jhIljspwQ4h6Huki2rckSCiituPSoTz8yudPOb0WIOawN2Df6midl9TasDFvAD8cd0XYp2KD4yKyNUMrzqdpJUt-m0lnsUgDYCFmwE/s1600/P5230069.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNv-H5NyhsQTtzDnY5sl8xptK1Q-6IimplvRVYI4jhIljspwQ4h6Huki2rckSCiituPSoTz8yudPOb0WIOawN2Df6midl9TasDFvAD8cd0XYp2KD4yKyNUMrzqdpJUt-m0lnsUgDYCFmwE/s400/P5230069.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474463206463973586" border="0" /></a>The green corridor develops up to 7 meters height, corresponding to the second floor of the SEB complex. It works as the foyer for the two buildings, as a green lung for the city and as a roof for the new part of the national archive, Rigsarkivet. More of Rigsarkivet can be seen behind the SEB buildings. A huge monolith block without windows, protecting and keeping a national treasure and heritage and the scientists and searchers working on it. The only expression outwards is the brick wall, which paterns apparently are extracted from the very first writings found in Denmark, zoomed up and applied into the facade's plasticity.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLqRgbm5LTvUd3AURG2Km7bGwQchn6zQLyvv2R3yziVN5oxaGlESiQzEkrfpmF3CngBlkLxCil5XxbcV8olLt7PO2CWBsXEurdyDBe1GzfXN07pQM7YeU89AN7fogT4zXFpROd4PvW_2DN/s1600/P5230079.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLqRgbm5LTvUd3AURG2Km7bGwQchn6zQLyvv2R3yziVN5oxaGlESiQzEkrfpmF3CngBlkLxCil5XxbcV8olLt7PO2CWBsXEurdyDBe1GzfXN07pQM7YeU89AN7fogT4zXFpROd4PvW_2DN/s400/P5230079.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474464543830145266" border="0" /></a>Finally we arrive at the <span style="font-style: italic;">Wake Up Hotel</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Tivoli Congress Center</span> (both by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kim Utzon</span>).

Copenhagen is really growing constantly. It is really good to see that the growth also is within the city borders, not expanding out on nature and agriculture landscapes, but working on the inner spaces and holes, getting more dense, more alive, and thereby also more sustainable.<br /><br />I hope to be able to get to the next tour: a bike tour through Amager. We'll be seeing the neighbourhood development at Holmbladgade and Prags Boulevard, as well as biking down the whole Amager Strand Park.Christina K V Rasmussenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04292923320623146140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4597272885708400273.post-7296130194910191712010-05-22T12:35:00.005+02:002010-05-26T14:11:33.908+02:00Coming up...- the 23 May, tomorrow : Guided tour on Kalvebod brygge with DAC<br />Where and when?

Hereby they discover a city part and its dynamic development, they become aware of what is happening in their neighbourhood. When I say discover, I mean it and we didn't jus pass some projects: the route took us THROUGH buildings, halls, gardens, backyards, up and down stairs, over the roads and railways, along the dockside... I would have been surprised if we had to plunge in the water or jump from boat to boat.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCNl1dkmNlqj70ynji1FPVJIBrOfIUm7WImpl7KP2nCddECj66AoBEIIkO9LATfqyiokFb-h_F-NM7YlwDu6tWE9A_CXoDUZrDEdN5q3uDA2Y4kkitxdaE7GSDW4dfGaZkl8EnR4DjBxzr/s1600/arkloebet-ruten.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCNl1dkmNlqj70ynji1FPVJIBrOfIUm7WImpl7KP2nCddECj66AoBEIIkO9LATfqyiokFb-h_F-NM7YlwDu6tWE9A_CXoDUZrDEdN5q3uDA2Y4kkitxdaE7GSDW4dfGaZkl8EnR4DjBxzr/s400/arkloebet-ruten.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473427653480225778" border="0" /></a>At the end, water, fruit, energy bars, beer and grilled sausages (on that point an alternative for vegetarians would have been nice), an architecture guide for everyone...and a really nice jazz band setting the atmosphere for a good evening on the docks of Nordhavn.<br /><br />It was a very fun run!

Nevertherless the debat is about life and use of our architectural creations expressed by a media -more or less artistical, creative or profit and publicity minded- and finally published. The circle is closed: expressing and showing life for the everyday users of the building.<br /><br />What defines life and what defines if the building functions? The aesthetics of it, the use and deterioration of it, the energical or economical audit, the resemblance to a 3D image made before any permit was given, the expression of some tortured architect mind looking for a meaning in his profession...The opinion might change radically depending on who is asked! But the building is part of an urban space, part of the citizens' everyday life, so it HAS to bring an extra value somehow. This condition usually is considered fulfilled if the building or site "lives".<br />Here comes next quetsion...<br /><br />How to show life in architecture and urban spaces? How to communicate it? By the play of shadow and light on the materials, by waiting for rush hour to take your pictures, by setting every detail and controlling every appearing object and subject of the pictures (refering to the American photographer Cruz), by suggesting some forms and contrasts in a blurry picture (refering to Japanese photographer), by showing the mess in an appartment or by showing its pristine design with a design chair in the corner. Should architecture be exposed as a product or as an other element of the photography? Should the photographer's work be like a promoter branding and selling this product or an eye aknowledging art and harmony behind facts? Can he be both? Should he be a cameleon to his client's desideratas (being the architect or the magazine editor)?<br /><br />The presentations and debat brought us to a consideration: everyone wants something new and would like to reveal its work differently. The architect looks for a critical eye enabling him to evoluate in his own field. The photographer has to be that eye and has soemthing to say in a certain way defined by his vision or opinion. The editor would like to report both visions in order to give the reader and citizen an objective base for its understanding and opinion-making of what is happening in his city. But that means someone has to take responsibility for his work: the architect by accepting critic, the photographer by standing up to his vision and the editor by investing in the right material and photographs.<br /><br />Here comes the tricky part: "it's his fault that I am unable to do so". The architect needs to get clients, thus to sell and show how good he is with plastics, aesthetics and form making. He also needs to reassure himself and his ego on what ge is doing. The photographer needs clients so he does what he is asked and delivers images that aren't always arcording to his view. The editor needs to run his business too: he needs money if he should hire the photographers and is a bit short so he just asks the architect to give him some nice pictures and that's it. The reader says "Wow!" or "What?"...<br /><br />In the end, I think it is up to all parts to challenge himself with his own discipline in order to show the public that architecture is an art of plasticity but also a social art, an art enhancing or preventing life, an art of high technical apsects, to show the public that photographers aren't just observers but have a history to tell about that same architecture and its urban context (well natural context also but here we were talking much about Copenhagen), to show the public that editors aren't just on the architects side, all together in an hermetic sect, but revealing architectural facts as a good reporter would do.<br />Good examples of collaboration between architects, photographers and editors has been seen in France and Switzerland with the firms Lacaton Vassal and Herzog & de Meuron.<br /><br />That was also the conclusion of the debat and the opening to the exhibition...Enjoy it!Christina K V Rasmussenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04292923320623146140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4597272885708400273.post-48842426865493530312010-05-18T01:22:00.003+02:002010-05-18T15:33:47.197+02:00Coming...I'll be reporting on the debat of 17th May about the status of architecture photography.Christina K V Rasmussenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04292923320623146140noreply@blogger.com0
