Our View from City Tower Our view from City Tower A sustainable and grandiose building overlooking Aarhus. Welcome to the top of City Tower, which is Aarhus’s tallest and most prominent commercial building with a fantastic view. The construction of the building was completed in the summer of 2014. In August 2014, our 130 Aarhus employees moved into the premises totalling 4,500 m2 and occupying the 14th, 15th, 16th and 22nd floors of the building. City Tower spans a total of 34,000 m2 divided on 25 floors – the two bottom floors housing the cellar and the under- ground parking area. In addition to Bech-Bruun, City Tower also accommodates the employer Hans Lorenzen, the Comwell Hotel and the audit and consultancy firm Deloitte.

  • Human Remains, Museum Space and the 'Poetics of Exhibiting'
    23 — VOLUME 10 2018 UNIVERSITY MUSEUMS AND COLLECTIONS JOURNAL Human remains, museum space and the ‘poetics of exhibiting’ Kali Tzortzi Abstract The paper explores the role of the design of museum space in the chal- lenges set by the display of human remains. Against the background of ‘embodied understanding’, ‘multisensory learning’ and ‘affective distance’ and of contextual case studies, it analyses the innovative spa- tial approach of the Moesgaard Museum of the University of Aarhus, which, it argues, humanizes bog bodies and renders them an integra- tive part of an experiential, embodied and sensory narrative. This allows the mapping of spatial shifts and new forms of engagement with human remains, and also demonstrates the role of university museums as spaces for innovation and experimentation. 24 — VOLUME 10 2018 UNIVERSITY MUSEUMS AND COLLECTIONS JOURNAL Introduction and research question This paper aims to explore the issue of the respectful presentation of human physical remains in contextual exhibitions by looking at the role of museum space in the challenges set by their display, with particular reference to the contribution of experimentation in the university museum environ- ment. The debate raised by the understanding that human remains “are not just another artefact” (stated by CASSMAN et al. 2007, in GIESEN 2013, 1) is extensively discussed in the literature, and increasingly explored through a range of museum practices. In terms of theoretical understanding, authors have sought to acquire an overall picture of approaches towards the care of human remains so as to better understand the challenges raised. For example, among the most recent publica- tions, O’Donnabhain and Lozada (2014) examine the global diversity of attitudes to archaeological human remains and the variety of approaches to their study and curation in different countries.

  • THE BICYCLE RING in AARHUS, DENMARK: a Case Study of Maintaining People Friendly Environments While Managing Cycling Growth
    THE BICYCLE RING IN AARHUS, DENMARK: a case study of maintaining people friendly environments while managing cycling growth Urban Planning & Management | Master Thesis | Aalborg University | June 2017 Estella Johanna Hollander & Matilda Kristina Porsö Title: The Bicycle Ring in Aarhus, Denmark: a case study of maintaining people friendly environments while managing cycling growth Study: M.Sc. in UrBan Planning and Management, School of Architecture, Design and Planning, AalBorg University Project period: FeBruary to June 2017 Authors: Estella Johanna Hollander and Matilda Kristina Porsö Supervisor: Gunvor RiBer Larsen Pages: 111 pages Appendices: 29 pages (A-E) i Abstract This research project seeks to analyze the relationship Between cycling and people friendly environments, specifically focusing on the growth in cycling numbers and the associated challenges. To exemplify this relationship, this research project uses a case study of the Bicycle Ring (Cykelringen) in Aarhus, Denmark. Four corners around the Bicycle Ring, with different characteristics in the Built environment, are explored further. In cities with a growing population, such as Aarhus, moBility is an important focus because the amount of travel will increase, putting a higher pressure on the existing infrastructure. In Aarhus, cycling is used as a tool to facilitate the future demand of travel and to overcome the negative externalities associated with car travel. The outcome of improved mobility and accessibility is seen as complementary to a good city life in puBlic spaces. Therefore, it is argued that cycling is a tool to facilitate people friendly environments. Recently, the City of Aarhus has implemented cycle streets around the Bicycle Ring as a solution to improve the conditions around the ring.

  • Presseark Hastighedsopgraderinger
    PRESSEARK HASTIGHEDSOPGRADERINGER Dato J. nr. Hastighedsopgraderinger i forbindelse med Timemodellen Der er med aftalen afsat over 2 mia. kr. til hastighedsopgraderinger i forbindel- se med Timemodellen. Udover nye banestrækninger, der skal etableres for at realisere timemodellen, skal der også ske hastighedsopgraderinger til op til 200 km/t på dele af den eksisterende jernbane. På strækningen mellem Aarhus-Aalborg vil der ske en opgradering af både ba- nerne Aarhus-Hobro og Hobro-Aalborg. Endelig vil der ske fire opgraderinger på strækningen Odense-Aarhus. Trafikale gevinster Banestrækningen mellem Odense-Aarhus og Aarhus-Hobro har i dag i stor udstrækning en kroget linjeføring, som medfører en del hastighedsbegræns- ninger. Ved en opgradering, som bl.a. omfatter udretning af kurver, vil der mel- lem Fredericia-Aarhus opnås en rejsetidsbesparelse på 2 minutter, som bidra- ger til at realisere timemodellen mellem Odense og Aarhus. Opgraderingerne mellem Aarhus-Hobro bidrager til, at den samlede rejsetid mellem Aarhus-Aalborg bringes ned til 1 time. Anlæggene for timemodellen er udvalgt ud fra den mest omkostningseffektive måde at realisere timemodellen på målt pr. anlægskrone i forhold til sparet rejsetid. Strækningen Aarhus-Aalborg Banestrækningen Hobro-Aalborg, som i dag har en lav maksimal hastighed for en hovedbane på 120 km/t, er i forbindelse med trafikaftalen i aftalekredsen bag ”En Grøn Transportpolitik” fra marts 2013 besluttet opgraderet til 160 km/t. Desuden undersøges yderligere opgradering til 200 km/t ifm. timemo- dellen. Der afsættes 108 mio. kr. til hastighedsopgradering til 200 km/t med nærværende aftale. Banedanmark har endvidere gennemført en forundersøgelse af opgradering af banestrækningen Aarhus-Hobro for at opnå en times rejsetid mellem Aarhus og Aalborg.

  • AARHUS: Living Summer Streets in Aarhus
    AarhusMunicipality : opyright c , Graven summer street summer Graven AARHUS: Living summer streets in Aarhus As a part of the “Summer Pedestrian Street Pilot Project”, two streets in Aarhus by the name Graven and Vestergade were converted into pedestrian streets from June to October 2019. The project’s ob- jective was to enhance the liveable urban environment by creating living and green streets. This con- tributed to the cities.multimodal’s objective by making sustainable mobility attractive and easy to adopt. During the cold months Vestergade is an ordinary inner-city street with many cafés and smaller com- panies. The speed limit is 50 kilometres per hour. “Graven” – which is one of the oldest streets in Aarhus is a cycling street with mixed traffic. The cars on “Graven” must adapt to the speed of the cyclists. In order to accomplish the anticipated outcomes, the two streets were opened for pedestrians and the speed limit was reduced. The streets and pavements were used to facilitate activities that underpinned a good and liveable urban environment. For instance, cafés, restaurants and bars had their outdoor service moved to the lanes of the streets. Also, the streets were decorated with plants and trees which contributed to a greener urban life. At the same time, the whole streets were transformed into a pe- destrian zone with new signage. Both cars and bikes now had to follow the pace of the pedestrians. The speed limit was set to 15 kilometres per hour, even the new shared e-scooters were coded to not exceed this limit. Regardless of whether you cycle, walk or drive along Vestergade, you will encounter a diversity of stores and restaurants.
