The bridge directly connects the two quay sides of Sluseholmen and Teglholmen along the main axis of the area. Thus the bridge follows the natural flow along the main axis of the area and with its minimalistic though intricat design it offers a natural con- tinuation of the existing ways of movement for pedestrians and bicyclists in the area. While play- ing with the concept of a straight bridge crossing over the harbor channel. ABSTRACT 03 area for placing a bridge proposed map of the area BRIDGE PROJECT 04 CONTEXT & DATA The Bridge is located in the harbor of Copenha- gen between the two parts; Sluseholmen and Teglholmen across ‘Teglløbet’, which has a width of approximately 100 meters. The area is newly develeoped, based on the mas- terplan by Soeters Van Eldonk Ponec in coopera- tion with Arkitema. The area is still in development, though due to pollution of the site on Teglholmen and the cur- rent financial status of the markets, the next stages of the development of the area has been put on hold for the moment.

  • Rethinking Cities
    CONFERENCE 6.—8.9.2017 TU-BERLIN DOI: 10.24904/footbridge2017.09532 RETHINKING CITIES Steen Savery TROJABORG Poul Ove JENSEN Jesper B. HENRIKSEN Architect, CEO Partner Architect, Director bridges Industrial Designer, Partner DISSING+WEITLING DISSING+WEITLING DISSING+WEITLING Copenhagen, Denmark Copenhagen, Denmark Copenhagen, Denmark [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] 1. Copenhagen In 2011 the City of Copenhagen published its planning strategy for becoming the world’s best bicycle town in 2015. And this for all sort of good reasons – promoting a healthier life style cycling to work, setting the goal for Copenhagen as a CO2 neutral city by 2025, and simply – Copenhagen as a better place to live – more space, less noise, cleaner air. In 2010 with a 36% market share bicycles were the most used means of transportation to and from work in the city. The city’s strategy aims for 50% by the end of 2015. Copenhagen’s commitment to bicycles has prompted more safe bicycle routes necessitating the construction of bicycle and pedestrian bridges some of which have been designed by DISSING+WEITLING: Bryggebroen (Quay Bridge), Åbuen (The Creek Arch), Cykelslangen (The Bicycle Snake) and finally Folehaven (The Park Bridge) currently in the project stage. The City of Copenhagen has not only opted for safe bicycle routes but also for their contribution to the urban environment. Bryggebroen, Åbuen and Cykelslangen have had a huge success with up to 12 - 16.000 daily users on each bridge. But more than that they have greatly contributed to the urban environment. This so that the Bicycle Snake became one of three urban projects that won the City of Copenhagen the first prize in the European Public Space Award 2016.

  • SYDHAVNEN/SLUSEHOLMEN COPENHAGEN Harbour Renovation Project 2000-2009
    SYDHAVNEN/SLUSEHOLMEN COPENHAGEN Harbour renovation project 2000-2009 Text by Sjoerd Soeters Sydhavnen is the southern harbour disctrict of Copenhagen, located south of the historic city. With Java Island in Amsterdam as an example, Sjoerd Soeters was asked by the Municipality of Copenhagen to make a plan for the transformation of Sydhavnen into a residential area. Sydhavnen consists entirely of city blocks, situated so as to be oriented toward the water on all sides. In order to achieve this, kilometers of canal were added to the area. The size of the blocks are based on the dimensions of the large city blocks in the centre of Copenhagen. The twists and curves of the canals create constantly chang- ing spatial effects and sightlines. Sluseholmen is the first application of the Sydhavnen plan. The island is character- ized by a panoramic view of the surrounding water and a more intimate inner side. The inner area is formed by a curved main canal and several short lateral canals. Each city block is made up of different dwelling types. Supervised by Sjoerd Soeters, the facades of the blocks were worked out by different Dan- ish architects. Architectural guidelines were set for materials, colours, spatial effects and building height, to ensure that each city block remains unified and fits in with the greater ensemble. - 1 - Soeters Van Eldonk architecten Masterplan Sydhavnen 2000 Phase 1: Sluseholmen 2003-2009 Client masterplan Masterplan, supervision and architectural guidelines Byggemodningsselskabet Sluseholmen PS (Københavns Sjoerd Soeters Havn & Københavns Kommune) Developer Masterplan JM Danmark - Karre A & B Sjoerd Soeters Sjælsøgruppen - Karre C, D, F & H Nordicom - Karre E & G Block architects - design, construction & coordination Arkitema - Karre A, B, C, D, F & H Gröning Arkitekter - Karre E & G Landscape Arkitema Facade architects Arkitema Kim Utzon Arkitekter C.F.
