SOCIALLY SUSTAINABLE PLACE MAKING A Case Study of Tourism’s Effect On 8Tallet and Ørestad Gymnasium A Master Thesis by Elizabeth M.P. de Bever and Camilla H. Kristensen Aalborg University Copenhagen MA Tourism - June 2019 Supervised by Martin Trandberg Jensen Keystrokes: 286.857 Abstract This master thesis examines tourism presence in Ørestad, where urban everyday places like the residential 8Tallet and the high school Ørestad Gymnasium are dealing with tourism. Due to the form of architecture tourism, where tourists visit particular places to view and experience unique types of architecture, Ørestad receives interest from visitors all over the world to gaze upon the award-winning buildings. However, as such places are initially not planned with a tourism purpose, the tourism encounter entails both challenges and opportunities when the ordinary life for the locals is transformed into an extraordinary tourist experience. Due to tourism being so close to the locals’ everyday, it inevitably shapes their lives and places, as well as the social sustainability hereof. As tourism in Copenhagen is increasing and strategically pushed by Wonderful Copenhagen towards sub-districts, it is necessary to research how it affects the local community. In addition to the desire for architecture, the trend of tourists wanting to experience authentic local experiences is enhanced. This means that tourists seek to become temporary locals instead of visiting staged tourism attractions. Thus, local neighbourhoods like Ørestad are becoming increasingly interesting in the eyes of tourists. This has led to a research question that aims to understand the effects of tourism in such everyday places on a more profound level, namely the lived experiences of the locals living, working and studying in these places. Consequently, central to this research is the voice of the locals, whilst exploring the power structures and responsibilities of various actors regarding tourism management in the place. In order to assure an in-depth, reflexive and problem-driven understanding of the case studies, the research takes a phronetic social science approach. Thus, the philosophical approach is guided by social constructivism, particularly informed by qualitative and primary empirical material in terms of in-depth interviews, observation and netnography. To explore how places are planned, designed and managed, the theoretical framework discusses the notion of place making and seeks to contribute to the field by taking an underexplored tourism approach. For tourism and the everyday life to be sustainable in such places, it is vital to consider its effects on the locals’ quality of life and wellbeing. Therefore, the notion of social sustainability is researched through various physical and non-physical factors that impact the ethics of tourism and the social sustainability in places. Ultimately, our analysis shows a need for developing a new concept within the understanding of place making. As place making rarely acknowledges the tourism context, it often takes an economic perspective. However, our research shows that there is a definite need for a more profound understanding of how tourism affects the social life, and how this should be 1 Elizabeth de Bever and Camilla Kristensen, Tourism Master Thesis, June 2019 considered in the designing and planning of places. This is particularly necessary as boundaries between absolute publicness and absolute privacy are blurring, leaving private places affected by tourism. Thus, the new concept of Socially Sustainable Place Making emerges, which contributes to place making theory by providing a combination of tourism, social sustainability and the importance of the overlooked private spheres within place making. As these elements are proved vital in urban places where tourism flourishes, Socially Sustainable Place Making is suggested as an additive to traditional place making and to serve as a vital part of strategic development plans for cities in the future.

Especially the way locals and visitors dwell and co- perform such new urban places made us enthusiastic for this specific topic: “The study tour made clear that Ørestad is dealing with certain conflicts regarding tourism presence in private spaces. This created a curiosity from my side to understand this newly built area on a more profound level and to dive deeper into how tourism is shaping such urban places and affecting its communities.” - Elizabeth de Bever “I find it particularly interesting to study the opportunities and challenges that arise when tourism develops in places that are not intentionally constructed with tourism on the agenda. This is particularly interesting in Ørestad, as it contains a lot of internationally-known buildings in which locals live, study and work, and where atmospheres and physical spheres are constructed and negotiated by locals and tourists.” - Camilla Kristensen During this process, several people have been of great support. Firstly, we want to express our gratitude to our supervisor Martin Trandberg Jensen, who has engaged himself with our master thesis from the very beginning and was part of our learning process. We are thankful for his useful insights, feedback and inspiration. Furthermore, we would like to thank various people who have willingly shared their precious time during the collection of empirical material in the form of in-depth interviews and observations. Lastly, we appreciate our loved ones, who have been patiently supported us throughout the entire master study, which especially was valued during the writing process of this thesis. We are grateful for all who have helped us on a professional and personal level throughout this learning process. Elizabeth M. P. de Bever and Camilla H.

  • Nobel Center Architectural Competition Summary of Stage 1
    2013-11-15 Nobel Center architectural competition Summary of Stage 1 Background Ever since the Nobel Foundation was established in 1900, there have been plans for a Nobel Prize building where the Nobel Laureates and their achievements could be presented to the general public. Under an agreement between the Nobel Foundation and the City of Stockholm in December 2011, the idea of a public building for the Nobel Prize will now become a reality. The City of Stockholm is providing a site on the Blasieholmen peninsula in central Stockholm where a new Nobel Center will be built to serve as a meeting place in the spirit of the Nobel Prize. At the initiative of the Nobel Foundation, a company known as Nobelhuset AB has been established in order to implement the building project. The cost of the Nobel Center is estimated at a total of SEK 1.2 billion at 2011 cost levels. Thanks to donations from the Erling-Persson Family Foundation and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation in June 2013, much of the financing for the Nobel Center has been secured. Together these donors are contributing SEK 800 million. The Nobel Prize, the achievements and life stories of the Nobel Laureates and future prospects in the Nobel Prize fields serve as a rich source on which the Nobel Center will base its activities. The Center will be open to visitors, with spaces for exhibitions, school programmes, events, meetings, a library, restaurant and shop, as well as parking facilities. The building will also house a large auditorium, where the annual Nobel Prize Award Ceremony can take place.

Journal Series 2017 Adam Swinburn NSW Architects Registration Board A 2 NSW Architects Registration Board A The Byera Hadley Travelling Scholarships Journal Series is a select library of research compiled by more than 160 architects, students and graduates since 1951, and made possible by the generous gift of Sydney Architect and educator, Byera Hadley. Byera Hadley, born in 1872, was a distinguished architect responsible for the design and execution of a number of fine buildings in New South Wales. He was dedicated to architectural education, both as a part-time teacher in architectural drawing at the Sydney Technical College, and culminating in his appointment in 1914 as Lecturer-in-Charge at the College’s Department of Architecture. Under his guidance, the College became acknowledged as one of the finest schools of architecture in the British Empire. Byera Hadley made provision in his will for a bequest to enable graduates of architecture from a university in NSW to travel in order to broaden their experience in architecture, with a view to advancing architecture upon their return to Australia. Today, the Byera Hadley Travelling Scholarship fund is managed by Perpetual as Trustee, in conjunction with the NSW Architects Registration Board.
