2 28 - To Climb Copenhagen Sky - Danemark Project Reamenagement of a Copenhagen district Nordhavnen, Copenhagen Danemark Team Eric Cassar, Emilie Le Cavorzin, Juan Jesus Alfaro Reta, Ghada Chakroun, Christian Svetoslavov, Margaux Bordet Owners Copenhagen town General Principles Spatial town district / Mixed programs / Indoor and outdoor public spaces with various atmospheres / connexion with the sky, sea and town / Campaign into town / Environment respect / Wild Vegetal river / Sensitive areas. Global idea is to create in Copenhagen a new landscape (new ground floor floating into space) in connection with elements and nature. The district plays with movement created by flow or natural elements. Those energies are captured concentrated and then transformed to be reused (ecology) while generating new atmospheres, new space poetries The 3 dimensional town we propose construct itself around 4 main ideas to be SOCIAL, PRAGMATIC, ECO- LOGICAL and POETIC. That way it reinvents itself continuously THE PROJECT Copenhagen surface is rare and expensive, so we have to construct multi-storey buildings. But instead of creating, as usual, one public floor (ground floor) and several privates spaces on the other floors, we want to create a district that spread in 3 dimensions. This town typology permits to increase density 1,6 to twice more compared to current town density. It is a good way to make profitable every Copenhagen ground surface. It also improves lifestyle with a public space surface that increases at least twice more than today. DESIGN CONCEPT The kind of town area we propose is not a break-up with the past, it tries to continue historical town plan while offering new kind of public spaces. What has been done through years in urbanism (street urbanism) work usually well! What we propose now is to open the city. To open its perception, its senses and the perception (visions) it offers to its users. We want to open the area into the third dimension, the height. This does not mean to create high building but to open the public space into the third dimension. Cobra and Situationist (Constant), Archigram, Japan metabolist, Yona Friedman, Claude Parent, Mvrdv [non exhaustive list] theorized on the subject. We are inspired by their researches but also by vernacular towns (how a town has been built and extended over ages without plan). We work to go on developing those ideas to improve lifestyle, to incorporate ecology and poetry while making this vision realistic in term of construction and economy. Extension in height Organisation Avenue Urban block heart In traditional towns, public spaces and flows are only on the groundfloor. s In spatial town public spaces and flows, spreads in height dimension.

How can it be a secured area where every building can take benefits of natural light? How can it adapts to climate and geography?

What we propose then is a scheme, a director plan with structuring elements at several scales (vegetal river, inside lake, centre place and several places at different scale).

We want then to create a social city that will connect people one with each others, from every where.

3 B Green River Extension of the Green River Existing Buildings Hudge s Small s A INSIDE LAKE FOREST Then for us the question is not only what kind of neighbourhood we design but what kind of 3 dimensional neighbourhoods can we implant in Copenhagen Nordhavnen. How can it be connected with the sea and the existing town? How can it be a secured area where every building can take benefits of natural light? How can it adapts to climate and geography? How can it transform elements power into poetry and energy? We first think that a town should grow progressively depending on new need. What we propose then is a scheme, a director plan with structuring elements at several scales (vegetal river, inside lake, centre place and several places at different scale). We propose a town morpho typo logy which permits to create various kind of architecture and to adapt itself to new necessities. We want then to create a social city that will connect people one with each others, from every where. We want a spatial town continuing in every dimensions where every places, connected with others, invite users to discover and discover again. Ch transforms intrinsic Elements into poetry and useful energy Ch = Copenhagen Nordhavnen seen as a matrix function. E = Any intrisic Elements that means elements which generates movement into town. Ex : climate (wind, rain, sun, snow...) ; Flow (car flow, bike flow, pedestrian movement...) Ch (E) = Poetry + Useful Energy Ex : Ch (wind) = natural air tunnel (wind wall) + Windmill Energy B A Section AA Section BB So we do not start to create street. We start to create town which means meeting places, building, social connections, waypoint, land mark Our project is an alternation of buildings and void in three dimensions. Building implantation depends on natural light and views. It follows a typology where town areas are connected thanks to several public places of different sizes, kinds and soul (atmosphere). Some are inside place for winter or rainy day others are outside places (covered or not) for sun... This place network (garden, square ) including the wild vegetal river and water spaces become the town body. 95

4 COPENHAGUE NORDHAVNEN COMBINES POETIC, ECOLOGIC AND PRAGMATIC A practical town Functionality / Security / Structure / Networks and flow organization / Natural light necessities depending on the program / Economy / Transport and moving simplicity / Supply and waste optimization Increasing density (while improving lifestyle) permits to limit cost and pollution. PRAGMATIC Main level permit to find your way into the town. It proposes several bike way to rove. Merchandises Raw Material Reflective elements on frontpage Housing / Offices / Shops... Parkings Vegetal River offers a hudge void on the towns VIEWS A sustainable town To take benefits of every site potentialities (geography, climate) / To implant building and public spaces smartly to save energy / To include wild nature (fauna, flora) and cultivation in town / To reuse energy, water ENERGY Each roof is reused as public or private place. Glass roof always integrates photovoltaic cells. ECOLOGIC heat Maintenance Acce Access Public The Vegetal River is accessible from the groundfloor, except for the maintenance. The only access is from the first level, going down into the forest. Vegetal River acts like green lung with wild forest spreading (flowing) into the town. Maintenance is minimum. Fauna and flaura grow there peacefully. Leaning Blancket allow rain s flow, which form a rain curtain which is collected. POETIC RAIN CURTAIN A sensible town To stimulate every senses / To surprise / To identify / To animate / To create various atmospheres changing in time and space. Copenhagen Nordhavnen becomes an area which can surprise reinventing itself again and again. VISUAL CONNECTIONS FOGGY ATMOSPHERE Cameras and screens permit connections between places situated at different city edges. Keeping water from the sea, mecanism can produce vapour and fog, wich create a misty atmosphere.

They are connected with others and with private spaces (mixed program) in every dimension. Each space includes an architectural or cultural theme with its own specification: skate park, fog, perfume, beach, gardens in the sky... Each place has its own atmosphere moving through time and space, it reinvents itself continuously because town is not static anymore. Open Closed TYPOLOGIE PUBLICS SPACES Crossing with Central Element Network Views Flows Split Opening the town to the height permits to clear the ground. Ground becomes then a campaign into town. It is planted with different species (wheat field, sunflower ) depending on sun need. Farmers cultivate fields... in the city. Between the fields, there are few roads reserved for rapid transport (bus, taxi, deliveries cars or trucks, emergencies ) and for parking. They respond to town needs. Car traffic is limited. [A big car park is created for inhabitants and tourist at the entrance of Copenhagen Nordhavnen. Drivers park their car and use public transportation or bike.]. That way, ground floor also offers huge surfaces of safe place for children to run, to play and to discover nature. Opening the town to the height also permits to increase both density and public space surfaces. It permits to limit motion (sustainable development) and to incorporate programs that were used to disappear from town centre such as workshop, artisan... Every roof is used as a square, private or public garden, inside, covered or outside place. It permits to gather inhabitants at anytime and any weather. Moving in the height dimension offers views on the surrounding areas at different levels thanks to footbridges or big public elevators (including bike transport) connecting buildings together.
