Curriculum & Course Descriptions From the DIS website: “Design studio is the backbone of the semester in Copenhagen. You will choose between the interior Architecture studio and Urban Design studios, but students from Architecture, Interior Architecture and Urban Design studios are brought together in elective courses, field studies and study tours. Beyond your studio, you will be advised on which courses to take to fulfill your Pratt required course load. In addition, choose 3-credit Architecture & Design or Liberal Arts DIS electives to build a curriculum that meets your needs. Most students who take electives from within the Architecture & Design program become a part of this program's learning community. They go on Architecture & Design field studies, get to know the professors and other Architecture & Design students, and get more out of their coursework by focusing on Scandinavian design themes from various angles within the field. You are also welcome to enroll in other DIS courses whose prerequisites you possess, as long as time blocks do not conflict. This can be a great way to fulfill elective requirements back home and expand your horizons by taking classes you'd never find elsewhere. Options exist in politics, history, religion, and Danish language to fulfill your Liberal Arts and Social Studies requirements as well as Studio elective requirements. Pratt Institute Interior Design Copenhagen Semester Program Spring 2021 Pratt Interior Design students will take 3 or 4 courses for 12 or 15 credits respectively. The courses to be taken are: Interior Architecture Studio or Urban Design Studio (Choose One) 6 credits (INT Studio 3 credits and Dept. Elective 3 credits) Sustainable by Design, Strategies for Urban Liv. European Urban Des. Theory, Adaptive Reuse in Europe, or Environmental Philosophy (See descriptions below.) (Time Culture Context) 3 credits Department Elective ( Course list will be provided ) 3 credits 12 credits These courses will substitute for your required courses for your Pratt degree. If you want to take 15 credits, it is recommended that you take a 3 credits Humanities or Social Science courses (list of course options will be provided) 15 credits You also have an option to take 3 credits among many courses offered at DIS which our department has designated as studio elective credits (listed below). Course descriptions from the DIS website are below. More information and syllabi can be found at https://disabroad.org/copenhagen/semester/courses/?discipline=design Interior Architecture Studio: 6 credits Core course for Interior Architecture students. Full-year students take Studio as a core course both semesters. Includes course-integrated study tours in Denmark and to either Germany– the Netherlands or Sweden-Finland (fall and spring: student choice; summer: only Sweden- Finland). Studio instruction focuses on the process of interior architecture as practiced in Scandinavia. Design problems deal with the relationship between conceptual design and its application within existing structures. The student is expected to develop a concept and spatial design based on the analysis of an interior space within an existing architectural frame, focusing on the character of space and user behavior. The second-semester Studio offers the opportunity of research-based assignments. Urban Design Studio: 6 credits The urban Design Studio (UD) is the core course of the program. Design projects are the basis for learning in the studio and will be the basis for discussions, presentations and the development of individual design skills. The studios at DIS emphasize the awareness and knowledge of designing for the context outside your own and use Copenhagen as an urban laboratory for exploration and precedent study. Project work will be done both individually and in teams. Pratt Institute Interior Design Copenhagen Semester Program Spring 2021 Strategies for Urban Living: 3 credits. Lecture course. Four contemporary strategies are explored. City as Human Habitat: quality of life through climatic conditions, transport systems, public spaces. Democratic City: social sustainability in City development. Bicycle Urbanism: Danish bicycle culture in urban planning and at the socio-cultural level. European “Fit City”: the physical environment supporting healthy lifestyle. Copenhagen will be used as an ‘urban laboratory’ to study how the four strategies are reflected in the urban environment. European Urban Design Theory: 3 credits. Lecture course. What are the underlying theories and methodologies of urban design as applied in Europe since the mid-20th Century? Focus is placed on practical application using case studies in Copenhagen. Relations, differences, and similarities between European and American cities as socio-political contexts will be discussed. Sustainable by Design: 3 credits. Lecture Course. The course will focus on sustainable strategies and how to make them an integral part of the design process and our living. Throughout the course we will evaluate sustainable principles and how they relate to global, ecological, urban, built, material and cultural parameters. During the course there will be ongoing discussions about climate, energy issues, behavioral change and sustainable values. Adaptive Re-Use in Europe: Cities and Buildings: 3 credits. Lecture course The course will study adaptive reuse at different scales and with different complexities. Four main categories will be the guiding framework - adaptive reuse as re-construction, repair, transformation and addition. The four categories offer different examples, different challenges and different benefits all of which must be understood by the designer. Environmental Philosophy: 3 credits. Lecture course To understand the current climate crisis is to ask the question of man’s responsibility towards nature. In this course, we work with this question through a critical study of the philosophical tradition, providing a Scandinavian perspective on environmental issues and sustainability in relation to the philosophical discourse and relating these findings to current discussions of sustainability and the ethical implications of our modern day lifestyle. In addition, the following courses may be taken as Dept. Electives. See the provided list. 20th and 21st Century Danish Architecture Adaptive Re-Use in EU Cities Danish Design Detailing and Sustainability in Scandinavian Architecture European Urban Design Theory Pratt Institute Interior Design Copenhagen Semester Program Spring 2021 European Urban Experience: Why Cities Matter Furniture Design Workshop Garden Art in European Culture History of Copenhagen, Structure, Plan, Design Innovation Through Design Thinking New Nordic Design Strategies for Urban Livability Sustainable by Design Textile Design in Scandinavia Workshop Urban Design Journal Urban Exploration Photography Workshop Visual Journal Visual Journal Watercolor Painting Woman, Art, Identity Study Tours and Field Studies A critical component of the Copenhagen Semester Program at DIS is the study tours. “DIS places strong emphasis on combining classroom work with experiential learning so that you come away with applicable, real life, cross-cultural skills for the global job market. “ The Interior Design studio goes on one long tour (Option A or Option B): Below is for your reference only. Study tours are assigned at random. Explore the transformation of industrial districts into recreational and cultural areas as well as the architectural movements of the 20th Century on a tour to Sweden and Finland or Germany and the Netherlands. The week-long study tour forms an integral part of the studio curriculum by exposing you to the high-quality architecture and landscape architecture in northern Europe. You will see significant buildings and urban spaces both in the countryside and cities centers alike. Particular emphasis is placed on innovations in spatial organization, constructive, and material expression in public buildings, museums, etc. Pratt Institute Interior Design Copenhagen Semester Program Spring 2021 The German-the Netherlands tour includes visits to sites designed by prominent architects such as Rem Koolhaas/OMS, Herzog & deMeuraon, MVRDV

    Project Number: 44-JSD-DPC3 City-Bike Maintenance and Availability An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Michael DiDonato Stephen Herbert Disha Vachhani Date: May 6, 2002 Professor James Demetry, Advisor Abstract This report analyzes the Copenhagen City-Bike Program and addresses the availability problems. We depict the inner workings of the program and its problems, focusing on possible causes. We include analyses of public bicycle systems throughout the world and the design rationale behind them. Our report also examines the technology underlying “smart-bike” systems, comparing the advantages and costs relative to coin deposit bikes. We conclude with recommendations on possible allocation of the City Bike Foundation’s resources to increase the quality of service to the community, while improving the publicity received by the city of Copenhagen. 1 Acknowledgements We would like to thank the following for making this project successful. First, we thank WPI and the Interdisciplinary and Global Studies Division for providing off- campus project sites. By organizing this Copenhagen project, Tom Thomsen and Peder Pedersen provided us with unique personal experiences of culture and local customs. Our advisor, James Demetry, helped us considerably throughout the project. His suggestions gave us the motivation and encouragement to make this project successful and enjoyable. We thank Kent Ljungquist for guiding us through the preliminary research and proposal processes and Paul Davis who, during a weekly visit, gave us a new perspective on our objectives. We appreciate all the help that our liaison, Jens Pedersen, and the Danish Cyclist Federation provided for us during our eight weeks in Denmark.

  • Enghave Brygge
    ENGHAVE BRYGGE Stories of the site Enghave Brygge History and cultural context The first real master plan of the area was made in 1982. It has two focuses, one concerning the area around Dong energy, and the another focusing on the areas around it on both sides. One of the demands for the place where Dong is situated was that the plot ratio could not exceed 60%, and it was only Dong energy that had the right to built here. The area surrounding it, had a plot ratio on 110 %, and there could not be built higher than 20 meters above ground 0, meaning 4 stories. This area was only meant for industrial business purposes. During the last 140 years heavy waste from metal and cars has been han- dled from Enghave Brygge, but now this business has been moved to another place in Copenhagen, Refshaleøen, and a significantly amount of work with cleaning the soil at Enghave Brygge has started. When this is done creating a new part of the city can begin. Picture 1: The site seen from above. Picture 2+3: The H.C.

    CITY OF CYCLISTS - Copenhagen bicycle life MONUMENTAL MOTION Upon visiting new cities we instinctively look upwards, seeking out grand monuments that define the place. Here in the Danish capital, the iconic Little Mermaid statue has caused generations of visitors to utter the same four words: “But she’s so small!” Therein lies the key to understanding Copenhagen. The Little Mermaid isn’t small, you see. She’s life-size. Much like the city that she calls home. If it’s monuments you’re after in Copenhagen, look all around you. Right there at street level. Our greatest monument is motion. It is a massive, constant, rhythmic and life-sized legacy. This never-ending flow of Copenhageners on bicycles has been forty years in the making. In the 1960s, this city was just as car-clogged as anywhere else. Visionary decisions were made and the result can be seen all around you. The vast network of safe, segregated bike lanes crisscrossing the city has encouraged us to choose the bicycle. The people who make up this organic monument are from all walks of life. From every age and wage bracket. We don’t have cyclists in Copen- hagen, we merely have people who happen to ride their bicycles. Cycling in Copenhagen brings us closer to the life of the city and the people who inhabit it. Your fellow citizens are right there next to you, propelling themselves effortlessly through the urban landscape. We are one with our town on our bicycles. 2 MONUMENTAL MOTION MODAL SHARE OF TRIPS IN 2012 HOW MUCH DO COPENHAGENERS CYCLE? 6% 11% 20% 26% 1.27 M 25% 36% 14% Cycled
