Copenhagen Semester Program Spring 2018 Pratt Institute Interior Design Copenhagen Semester Program Spring 2018 We are pleased to announce that the Pratt Copenhagen Semester program will be offered in Spring 2018. More information can be found on the website of the Denmark International Study Program (DIS), www.dis.dk. You may also direct questions to the DIS Coordinator, Prof. Myonggi Sul: [email protected] Qualification and Registration This program is offered to the Juniors in the interior design program during the Spring Semester. Enrollment will be limited to 12 qualified students based on review of your transcript and portfolio. If necessary, a Portfolio interviews will take place by appointment, and a waiting list will be created. In order to qualify, a student must have satisfied the following criteria: A minimum cumulative 3.0 GPA, No Incomplete grades No Failing grades Making satisfactory progress in INT 301 and 315 Students interested in participating in the Copenhagen Program should submit a completed Application form and Statement of Interest by Friday, April 28, 2018. Additional information about registration, initial deposit, timelines, etc. will be forthcoming. 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. 1 Pratt Institute Interior Design Copenhagen Semester Program Spring 2018 Financial Aid Application If you currently receive Financial Aid, you should go to Financial Aid as soon as possible to fill out an application form even if you are not 100% certain that you will go on the study abroad program. 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 6 credits Visual Journal or Urban Journal 3 credits Sustainable by Design or Strategies for Urban Liv., European Urban Des. Theory, Co-Creation or Adaptive Reuse in Europe 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 Liberal Arts Elective (see list of options on DIS website and review with department) 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/ 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. Visual Journal: 3 credits. Seminar course. The Visual Journal is process driven, theoretical tool where students record drawing inquiries for this course, Studio, and study tours. The focus is on understanding (as a dialogic, ‘situated’ activity) via different techniques and media. Students observe and communicate diverse conditions and possibilities of physical environments and objects around us. 2 Pratt Institute Interior Design Copenhagen Semester Program Spring 2018 Prerequisites: Enrollment in a Studio course at DIS. Exceptions on a case by case basis through the Architecture & Design department. Urban Design Journal: 3 credits. Seminar course Through on-site studies, this course develops students' use of tools to experience, record, and analyze the European urban landscape, its fabric, spatial elements, and individual components. Studies are documented in a journal containing analytical sketches, diagrams, freehand perspectives, notes, and color studies. Prerequisites: Enrollment in a Studio course at DIS. Exceptions on a case by case basis through the Architecture & Design department. 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. 3 Pratt Institute Interior Design Copenhagen Semester Program Spring 2018 New Nordic Design: 3 credits. Lecture course. This course investigates the present state of design in Scandinavia, the New Nordic, as it currently unfolds. Focusing on architecture and design at all scales—from service design, product design, furniture and fashion to architecture, urban design, and infrastructure design—the course relates these areas to local traditions and cultures. It also acknowledges the importance of global connections and describes how we express and organize ourselves and our communities in the Nordic region at the beginning of the 21st century. The course will focus on Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Danish design and architecture. We will critically evaluate the relevance of regional design characteristics in the globalized world of today. In addition, the following courses may be taken as studio electives.

    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 Cyclist 2013.Pdf
    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
