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.

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. The area is a kind of pastiche on the historical channel buildings in Holland, Christianshavn and the docklands of London. Though the apartment buildings are designed to look unique, they are similar in their architectural style, and inside all the apartments are very simi- lar, the same inhabitants with the same kitchens and the same number of kids as in all the other newly developed apartments in the area. All signs of previous historical connection to the site has been removed and not many signs of an industrial era has remained. proposed map of the area CONTEXT AND DATA 05 Diagram of my perceived distances of the different areas of Copenha- gen, compared to the reality of the layout of Copenhagen.

It’s the beginning of travels and adventures. Under a bridge The underside of a bridge is in history, culture and philosophy used as a reference to the underworld with crime, homeless people, prostitution and drugs. The underside of bridges is for an example used in fairytales as a home for trolls etc. Today the underside of bridges is also used by sub- cultures such as punks, anarchist etc. The underside of bridges is a free space - that is not under the normal control, norms, and laws of society. BRIDGE PROJECT 14 On a bridge When on a bridge it can both function as a place for romantic meetings, and also for tragedy; historicaly a place for ‘jump- ers’ It also offers the views of the city and the nearby area. The middle of a bridge is in a state of ‘non-place’ constantly a flow occurs Passage of a bridge To pass a bridge, the passage itself is a reference to evolution of man in a social and cultural context. A rite of passage. A passage to the unknown other side. In daily use it also creates connections on a large urban scale, the connection of cities and different parts of the city, and on a smaller human scale; connecting people.

Thus, the actual de- sign of places and buildings is often becoming less relevant than the movements that unfold between them.” Gilles Delalex Go with the flow Non-Place “If a place can be defined as relational, historical and con- cerned with identity, then a space which can not be defined as relational, or historical, or concerned with identity will be a non-place.” Marc Augé Non-Places an introduction to supermodernity BRIDGE PROJECT 20 IDEAS OF FOUNDATION Throughout the project I worked with two basic ideas, ‘flow’ and ‘the underside of bridges’. Though by the end of the project my focus had shifted more and more towards flow and the idea of ‘non-place’, as argumented by Marc Auge, that the develeoped area of Sluseholmen and Teglhol- men is in a state of ‘non-place’. IDEAS OF FOUNDATION 21 THE BRIDGE The The bridge is located in the southern part of Copenhagen between Sluseholmen and Teglhol- men. 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 minimal- istic though intricat design it offers a natural continuation of the existing ways of movement for pedestrians and bicyclists in the area.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg University Hospital and Hitachi Agree to Begin Studies Targeting Joint Development of IT Driven Solutions to Increase Efficiency of Hospital Management Tokyo, Japan, (November 5, 2014) --- Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg University Hospital and Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE:6501, “Hitachi”) today announced that they have reached an agreement to undertake studies targeting joint development of solutions for increasing the efficiency of hospital management using IT. As part of efforts to become a carbon neutral nation, the Kingdom of Denmark (“Denmark”) is promoting activities with ambitious goals in a variety of fields, including the environment, energy and transport. In the healthcare field, since 2013, it has been promoting the “Super Hospital” concept*1, which involves the establishment of cutting-edge medical facilities in 16 locations throughout the country. Based on this Super Hospital concept, New Hospital and Mental Health Bispebjerg is scheduled to become the largest Super Hospital in Copenhagen by 2025, and is promoting activities aimed at reducing medical costs and increasing the level of medical services. *1 Super Hospital concept: A national project being promoted by the Danish government. The concept involves the aggregation of functions at 16 large-scale hospitals nationwide and the construction of a structure for the use of those functions across a broad geographical area. The goal of the concept is to further increase the efficiency and quality of advanced medical services, and to facilitate access to those services. Hitachi established the Hitachi Global Center for Innovative Analytics in April 2013 to act as a driving force behind the expansion of business in big data application fields by combining the resources of Hitachi Group’s laboratories and business divisions.

  • Contingency, Debate, and Pop- up 'Hygge' at Valby Pavilion
    Contingency, debate, and pop- up ‘hygge’ at Valby Pavilion: Situating temporary public urban settings in design critique Anne Margrethe Wagner Assistant professor, Architect MAA University of Copenhagen Division of Landscape Architecture and Planning/IGN Copenhagen, Denmark Abstract Public spaces emerge through a diverse field of practices and events that combine to make space and create meaning. In today’s design and planning practice, temporary interventions play an increasing role in the creation and rethinking of public space ‘on the go’. In such transitional interventions, ‘the project’ is both physically and symbolically created through entangled actions of design with somewhat non-designed and informal practices and DIY aesthetics, as well as various narratives and modes of communication. Temporary public spaces thereby challenge established ways of evaluating and critiquing spatial settings as determined design solutions or ‘classic’ architectural works—in terms of what they do and how they can be qualitatively understood as part of contemporary place-making approaches. This article forms a critique of the project Valby Pavilion, a temporary space in Valby (Copenhagen, Denmark) that serves as a test setup for the future use of its highly contested site. Through a juxtaposition of selected theoretical perspectives from art and architectural criticism to relational site thinking and performance studies, the discussion of the project elaborates upon which aspects require detailed attention when performing a critique of temporary urban public spaces. The article concludes that critical examination of a number of issues (intentionality and origin, the role of spatial adaptions, appropriation, events and situated public debate, dominant planning paradigms, and the characteristic aesthetics of the informal) helps to fruitfully locate public settings initiated under the ‘temporary project’ label within design and architectural critique.

  • Cloudburst Masterplan for Ladegårdså, Frederiksberg East & Vesterbro
    SUMMARY CLOUDBURST MASTERPLAN FOR LADEGÅRDSÅ, FREDERIKSBERG EAST & VESTERBRO RESUMÉ KONKRETISERING AF SKYBRUDSPLAN Ladegårdsåen og Vesterbro CLOUDBURST CATCHMENTS The very severe cloudburst hitting Copenhagen the 2nd of July 2011 caused flooding in large portions of the city. The flooding caused significant problems for the infrastructure in the NH inner parts of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg. In certain places up to half a meter of water covered the street and several houses and shops had suffered serious damages. Brønshøj - Husum Østerbro Bispebjerg ØSTERBRO The serious consequences following the cloudburst on July 2nd 2011 and other minor cloudbursts have led the municipalities of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg to initiate this project, Nørrebro which aims to highlight potential initiatives effective in mitigating flooding and reducing damages related to Ladegårdså cloudbursts in the future. Vanløse- INDREIndre BY by The cloudburst solutions presented here cover the Frederiksberg Vest Frederiksberg Øst CH catchments of Ladegårdså, Frederiksberg East & Vesterbro. The proposed solutions for cloudburst management comply with the service level for cloudbursts in Copenhagen and Frederiksberg, ie. a maximum of 10 cm of water on terrain Vesterbro during a 100-year storm event. Additionally, in accordance with the intentions and visions set out in the Cloudburst Plan for Copenhagen and Frederiksberg from 2012, proposed Amager solutions are sought developed to include added value and Valby - SH elements, which contribute to making the city more green, Frederiksberg Sydvest more blue, more attractive and more liveable. The cloudburst catchments are prioritized based on an assessment of the flood risks in the individual catchments. Along with the Inner City (Indre by) & Østerbro, the Ladegårdså, Frederiksberg East & Vesterbro catchment belongs to catchments of highest priority.
