THE URBAN AND SOCIAL REGENERATION OF BUDDINGE BATTERI ... THROUGH PARTICIPATORY APPROACH


CHOOSING THE SUBJECT

RESEARCH

The master thesis brings together four different topics in one complex and pragmatic project. Urban design and architecture represent the educational foundation of the bachelor studies and the essential focus of the thesis. The theoretical insight about urban planning gained from Aalborg master programme enhanced the final result of the project. The concept of sustainability is included in the process and in the final solution. And last, but not least, the social dimension is present to satisfy the curiosity and foster the personal interest in human behavior and its relationship with natural and built environment. The idea of the project came as an experiment from one of my mentors and seemed a perfect match to my expectations. Buddinge Batteri works as a real-life project and based on its results, has many chances to become reality. The thesis starts with a brief research about the subject and about the area itself. Involving the citizens and other interested parties represent an essential part of the process and of the result. The findings are filtered using the expert knowledge and transformed into the final solution.

Local problems : - Neglected & unsecure buildings - Abandoned area - Target for unwanted social groups - Vandalizing - Pressure on future development - Rotens - Lack of maintanance plan - Lack of money

Buddinge Battery is located south – west Buddinge district, in Gladsaxe Municipality, north –west Copenhagen. It is part of Copenhagen fortification system together with Gladsaxe, Bagsværd and Lyngby neighbouring forts. It was built between 1888 and 1889 and its role was to support those forts in times of war (Copenhagen Fortification homepage). Buddinge Batteri represents a closed green area within a residential neighborhood composed of detached houses. It has a number of existing buildings, that belong to Kort & Matrikelstyrelsen which they used for their measuring activities. They are not used and have a very poor state.

The battery itself consists of a half-buried bunker which used to have six areas to accommodate the 12 cm cannons, underground ammunition storage and a surrounding mound, that protected the battery. In the last 50 years, the mound disappeared entirely and the hill changed its shape to make room to several buildings. (Copenhagen Fortification homepage). The underground ammunition rooms still exist, but in poor condition. The battery has been in municipality’s ownership for one year and a half now, but no significant changes happened in the area, most probably due to other priorities, lack of funds or lack of interest in general. Presently, the area is closed to public.

CITIZENS’ INVOLVMENT

3

The involvement of residents and other interested parties into the process was the core element of the thesis. There had been developed interviews with specialists and other relevant parties both in the research and solution stage. Their input contributed in the process and gave a hands-on experience to the overall thesis. The interaction with the residents started with a leaflet (see picture) announcing two workshops about Buddinge Battery. 23% out of 100 invitations attended the meetings.

The input of the workshops had high priority in the solution stage of the project and shaped the new Buddinge Batteri.

‘design professionals today are often part of the problem. In too many cases we design for places and people we don’t know and grant them very power or acknowledgment.’(Jacobs; Appleyard, 1987)

Security and safety problems - violence - dogs without leash - no privacy for neighbors - parties - unwanted people Economic problems - no money - no selling

MAPS DEVELOPED BY THE PARTICIPANTS AT THE WORKSHOPS

Each workshop was conducted following the principles of Open Space Technology, characterized by informality, equal ideas, opportunities to be heard and friendly environment. Future workshops method was chosen for its resilience and adaptability to different types of participants. The stages that characterize it are: fantasy, problems and solution.

Environmental problems - dog walkers - waste - noise from different activities - rats and other similar animals

Community related ideas - functions and (part of) activities

General ideas - visions for the area

Specific ideas - decisions - mostly about the physical environment

community house kindergarten playground - maybe connected to the fortification café art and crafts workshop grill area with necessary facilities small zoo - small animals common building for local associations nature house

recreational green area that is maintained and may function as an urban oasis demolish all the buildings, keep the fortification and bring it to its original state develop activities and mix them with the historical identity

demolish the buildings in bad condition industrial building - demolished use the existing buildings for storage keep the garages , modernize them and use them for storage and selling point for art works renovating the existing buildings demolish the three warehouses remove part of the trees to brighten the area

BUDDINGE BATTERI 2

Physical problems - buildings, infrastructure, etc - the area is not taken care of - plants from the battery invade surrounding plots - quality of the buildings - exclude old and disabled people in case access is by car Social problems - residents are concerned about what could happen - who is responsible for everything? - no privacy for neighbors

ACCESSIBILITY Locked access NO access Staircase that lead up the hill Broken staircase that lead up the hill

The first and one of the most important analysis is the assessment of the existing buildings. The observations from the on-site visits and the conclusions from the map are included in an assessment table of all the existing constructions. They are structured in three categories: historical, solid and temporary. The latest category is proposed for demolition, whereas the others two are proposed for keeping the historical and for a new assessment – the solid. The second assessment is based on five relevant criteria : structure, aesthetics, materials, context, and condition. The criteria stresses both on the general conditions and on the building state. (for example - building number 2 got the lowest ranking – in this way being proposed for demolition or functional and physical conversion.)

The accessibility analysis highlights the possibility to access the area from four directions, but none of them open to public. This section of the built analysis draws attention to the unexploited potential of this green area and, of course, to the benefits of such a good accessibility for the overall quality of life in the neighborhood. The access around the area is hampered by broken stairways and wild vegetation.

PROPOSAL

8am The final solution proposes a pocket garden for Buddinge neighborhood, characterized by minor interventions with great social impact. The decisions were taken based on citizen input from the workshops, filtered with expert knowledge. The new Buddinge Batteri is open for the residents and develops indoor and outdoor activities for all the users, no matter their age. It is characterized by a high percentage of green spaces and has all the needed infrastructure for walking and cycling. Each building has a special use and an open relationship with the natural environment. The historical features are enhanced and combined with playground, leisure, sport, art and culture. Buddinge Batteri has a great potential to improve the life quality in the neighborhood, to change people’s perception about the battery and strengthen the fortification system with yet one more element.

Mr. Jensen, from Nordsjællandske Bivenner , is doing his usual check on the bee hives, like any other Saturday morning. He arrives there by bike and parks it in the special bike area, next to Gustav Esmanns entrance. The bike parking is still empty. He rushes to his hives located within the orchard next to the same entrance. 2

While pulling his bee equipment on, he sees Mrs. Clausen. She is walking her beagle in the special area for dogs, just next to the orchard. Embarrassed, he greets her and carries on with the hives. Both are enjoying the first spring sun shines coming through the blossomed trees. Around is quiet. It is still early.

When just about to pack his things, Mr. Jensen is greeted by Henriette, the lady living on Gustav Esmanns number 6. She came to prepare the coffee for Buddinge Community Cafe. She is happy to see she has company, so she invites him for a cup of coffee. He is taking out the tables and the chairs and she starts making the coffee and calls Anne to come with the cake they baked yesterday. They are preparing for a big party - four years since the place opened for public. Mr Jensen and Henriette enjoy the hot cup of coffee next to the measuring tower and start making the plans for today. 9am Mr Jensen excuses himself and takes off on his bike on the bike lane down to Marienborg Alle, as he has business to do in the city. Meanwhile Anne arrives with the cake and with two more friends and joins Henriette at the table. They remember how much fun they had during the workshop when they built the wooden real-size cannon, and how, after four years, people still come here to see it and kids are still climbing it in all the possible ways. At the other entrance of the area, the bike parking started to get crowded – the flea market is about to start. Everybody is placing their things under the canopy and wait for the visitors. Meanwhile, Local Agenda members arrived and prepare their part of the party.

STORY LINE - SATURDAY, 22ND OF MARCH 2019, BUDDINGE NEIGHBOURHOOD 2pm Karl Gjellerups entrance is now almost full of people. Some came to walk around in the flea market, some came to see the paintings posted on the garages doors and maybe the majority came for the grill and the garden party.Getting around in the area is very easy with the ramps and stairs system. Now that the food is ready, everyone gathered up on the hill, enjoying the March sun. Even Mrs Caroline and her husband Johan, both retired, were able to use the ramps to access the hill with no problems.

11am Mrs Christiansen, living on Skjoldborg Alle 22, is always present at the battery, and very passionate of gardening. Her task today is to go to the green house and make sure the moving boxes have enough water and to prepare the seedlings for tomorrow. On her way there, she passes along the scouts pillboxes and gets scared of the small children hiding behind them. Up on the hill, she sees her next door neighbour, Mr Claus, reading a newspaper on a bench and enjoying the view over the neighbourhood. As she goes through the glass garage, she arrives into the flea market area and gets distracted by some amber jewellery. When she finally arrives to the green house, she has the big surprise to see how tall the beans grew compared to last week. She waters some of the crops and rushes down to the cafĂŠ, where everyone enjoys the cake and the coffee.

1am Time flies when there is good company and beautiful weather. The men start preparing the necessary for the big grill that is about to start, while the ladies look after the kids enjoying the military themed playground. Together with the scouts, they developed two armies and they try to restore the war between Denmark and Germany. One of the kids thinks he is Otto von Bismarck! They use the small red brick buildings and the battlements to hide, made guns out of wood and bags full of water instead of bombs.

4pm Now that the lunch is ready and the sun sends its last sun shines on the area, everybody gathers at Gustav Esmanns entrance, next to the cafe and get ready for the moment everyone waited. The Local Agenda, the scouts and some of the residents have a short presentation of the pictures from the last four years, from the very beginning until the present. The audience sees the evolution of the area and acknowledges the importance of people participation into the development. The people are pleased with the result. Further on, both Local Agenda and the scouts present shortly their next projects and ask for suggestions, ideas or concerns. The last moment of the afternoon is the play prepared by all the aforementioned actors, where they make jokes and imitate well known politicians, Danish actors, important persons and even themselves in relation to current topics or with the evolution of the project.

ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE _ evolution

The studied area is situated in the north-west Bucharest and consists of two municipalities : Mogosoaia and Chitila. It is characterized by very good accessability due to Pan European corridors no. 4 and 9, both road and rail infrastructure. The proximity to the Romanian capital, Bucharest, improves the local economy and local infrastructure. The first stage of the bachelor project is developed in a group of six persons due to its complexity. The aim of this step is to map the area addressing all the main aspects: social, economic, environment and their sub-aspects like: workforce, pollution or road infrastructure. The findings from this stage will influence the next step of the project, developed in three persons.

The same situation is located in Mogosoaia, being caused by Mogosoaia, Motoc and Bogdana forests. They generate fresh air, which contributes to the overall atractivity and sustainability of the area. Air quality becomes better outside the municipalities centres.

secondary industrial sector

Major working areas in industrial sector (aprox. 1400)

Chitila town and Mogosoaia municipality have in their structure two important national roads, which cause most of the air polution . Also, several landfills represent a real and serious threat for the quality of life in the area, especially in Rudeni village. In the industrial area of Chitila, stormwater is calculated to have a quite mediocre quality. Visual polution is another environmental factor that affects the area due to the low built quality, the lack of protection areas next to the lakes .

The dominants winds in the area can be identified on north east and south west directions. Their spees varies from 3.2-3-5 m/s.

BACHELOR THESIS 2

The studied area is characterised by no agricultural sector, depite the vacant green land available for it. Secondary and tertiary sectors are most likely to develop in the area. The industrial sector is supported by several logistical areas and the tertiary sector by a diverse range of shops, en gros and distribution for construction materials. The industrial sector uses the majority of residents, whereas the percentage in service area is a little lower. Even so, in total, only around 40% of the residents are working in the area. The rest 60% is devided between the unemployed, old population, children and the commuters.


S.W.O.T.

STRENGTHS

- good accessibility - national roads, rail network and city ring - new urban developments - presence of potential touristic areas and protected areas - young andactive population - industrial sector - highly developed

OPPORTUNITIES

- new road infrastructure projects - industrial sector is well developing due to workforce coming from other municipalities, due to other industrial areas positioned in the surroundings of Bucharest - ongoing modernization of the residential areas sewage, potable water etc. - neighboring forests and lakes

NARROWING DOWN

VISION

WEAKNESSES

- uninspired configuration of the road infrastructure - old residential buildings - uncontrolled urban areas - low coverage of urban utilities and services - high pollution from traffic and industrial activities - protected and historical areas not promoted - high level of unemployment

THREATS

- new road infrastructure projects affect the traffic in the studied area causing congestion and pollution - industrial sector development affected by lack of investors(which choose Bucharest), lack of qualified workforce, economic influence from Bucharest and environment restrictions

The second stage of the project changes its focus on a smaller area, situated between the boundaries of Chitila town. The studied area benefits from the river running in the north part and the very important historical area, Mogosoaia Palace. This area is interesting because of the chaotic and uncontrolled development of the housing area on the river shore right in the proximity of an important monument, Mogosoaia Palace. The aim of the project is to change the present situation and create a diverse functional area and a better connection with the cultural attraction. At the moment of developing the project, the area was characterized by a low quality of life, poor architecture, no road network and no connection with the valuable elements of the area.

The third stage of the bachelor project develops a zoning plan and a regulation plan for a smaller area than the one from the previous stage. The housing areas are divided in individual housing and collective housing or apartments. In some cases, due to their position, they may develop commercial services on the ground floor, like small markets, hair dresser’s, pharmacy or coffee shops. Along with the commercial services, several other are proposed : a school and a kindergarten. The public space that serves the housing area and the whole municipality consists of institutions, a commercial area , two cultural areas and restaurants with river view. The two institutional areas may be represented by city hall, post or other public administrative functions needed in urban settlements. The commercial area is not planned to take the shape of a shopping center, but as small shops characterized by identity and human scale. The cultural functions represent a traditional museum and a unconventional exhibition area that overcomes the boundaries of an ordinary exhibition by presenting the works of art in different contexts. The colors represent the area reserved for the function, not the building footprint.

The final phase of the bachelor project represents the detailed urban plan for an reduced surface within the studied area. The boundaries lay in close proximity to the lake and its initial state was characterised by a very low percentage of housing, moslty dispersed over the area. The initial diagnosis showed a chaotic and illegal residential development and no strategy in the years to come, despite the importance of the cultural monument places on the other side of the lake. It was thanks to these two arguments, the area became interesting to look into.

The regulation plan divides the area into small areas characterized by several features. There are four types of zones depending on their focus: - the housing area - mainly it consists of residential areas - the mixed area - can combine housing with different services - the central area - consists of public functions like city hall, theater, museum and administrative buildings - the gren area - covers all types of green areas from public parks, to forests, protectio for water, lines of trees on the streets and green squares within the urban area. Each zone has a name and a maximum permitted height for the buildings. Another two regulations are mentioned for every zone: the percentage of land occupation - what percent out of the total plot area can be covered by the building and coeficient of land use - how high can the building be based in its footprint.

*** The solution is simple and divided into two areas - the residential (yellow) and the public area( shades of purple).The concept suggests a soft crossing between these two areas, introducing the pedestrian walking around into the next type of space, while still finding familiar characteristics from the previous space he visited. Therefore, the first round of residential houses have a commercial ground floor, where different leisure activities are developed, like tea and coffee shops, libraries, workshops and other types of social cohesion. The public area is composed of a commercial centre(south), followed by a museum, an experimental exhibition and a theatre(north). The buildings shape from the public area have been chosen depending on the eye level perspective from the surrounding streets. The alleys from the public green area are directed towards the lake, and further on towards the cultural monument, which gives the cultural theme and attracts attention. The buildings are connected through the alley network that leads the visitor to the end of the perspective, the lake. This detailed urban plan aims to bring social interaction in the public square, shape a comprehensive and efficient urban development and in the same time establish a connection with the surroundings.

STRATEGIC CONCEPT FOR SOUTH BUCHAREST 2035 The strategic concept Bucharest 2035 is a project initiated by Architecture and urbanism University in collaboration with Bucharest City Hall. Its purpose is to shape a development model for the capital and formulate strategies for its metropolitan area. The projects has been done in a large group of urban design students, under the close supervision of the master programme coordinator. The content aims, in the first instance, to create awareness among the city hall urban planners and politicians regarding the speedy urban development and its influences in all city aspects. The final result represents a comprehensive vision for south Bucharest, vision that takes into consideration all factors that lead urban and economic development, natural and cultural heritage conservation and living standards. The vision is formulated over 25 years and is structured in four phases of implementation.

The group of urban design students has been structured in three smaller groups. Each group has been assingned a part of the teritory, starting from the central area of Bucharest and extending towards south. The area that is about to be presented is located in the south east of the capital, comprising a small part of Bucharest and two small towns called Fundeni and Budesti. The analysis has been developed using the cartograms. Based on the results, a vision has been created by each group.The last step of the project consisted in melting together all three resulted visions in one clear urban plan. Further on, conceptual schemes have been realized for a better representation of conclusions and changes.

A decrease in labor market in industry and agriculture in the 90's, followed by a slight increase in 2005. The local economic power is decreasing and makes it difficult for the municipalities to keep up with The development pace. This would lead to a dependency of external labor to increase the economic growth.


ANALYSIS The second part of the analysis approaches more detailed aspects of urban development. A high migration trend has been identified in the previous cartograms, therefore, it is important to take a closer look in the demographic structure and its evolution over the years.

One of the causes of such trend is the lack of urban facilities, as educational and health care institutions. The mortality and natality ratios, work hand in hand with the health system, and the problematic educational system forces more youngsters every day to move to the capital for studies and find a permanent residence there.

In conclusion, the south east area is characterised by medium accessibility, declining industrial and agriculture sectors, increasing migration and a medium to low standart of living.

GLINA

The changes in activities sector represent another drive for the fluctuations mentioned above . Agriculture has become less atractive and worth for the farmers, therefore the focus goes to the secondary and tertiary sectors, industry and services. Unfortunately, the economic influence of Bucharest, forces many small business to run into bankrupcy adn the rest, to be dependent on the capital’s workplace.

The final part of the project is the final strategy for south Bucharest for 2035. The plan shows a fast urbanization in the proximity of the capital, new transport infrastructures, extended settlements, new centralised facilities and new regional and national projects as the airport or the olympic park.

HIGH DENSITY HOUSING IN PERIPHERY


GENERAL URBAN PLAN

This residential project challenges the idea of dull outskirts with a high density housing on a quite different layout. The target is to reach the highest density and keep housing standards on a medium to low level.

School + Kindergarden

The theme, translated exactly from romanian as ‘carpet housing’, represents another hybrid of row housing, by playing with modules. The modules can be shaped in I, L or U and by using them into a composition, can create original landscapes.

Green semi public/ terraces and public areas characterize the residential area. The one-way streets lead to less traffic, more safety and create an intimate feeling. The transition from the house to the outdoor terrace is done through a small green house, that has the role to keep the indoor temperature stable and bring a little bit of green inside the house. The geographical orientation of the housing units permits natural light to penetrate the more active areas and warm up the ones that lack solar light.

5 DESIGNING AN URBAN PARKING ON FREE LAND BETWEEN FOUR DIFFERENT SIZED ROADS The exercises purpose is to design an urban parking lot limited by four roads with different dimensions. The aim is to accommodate as many parking spaces as possible, while keeping an easy structure and good accessibility. Case studies and desk research have contributed to the final solution in terms of the most efficient parking lot distribution, distances and dimensions needed.

The traffic project challenges the concept of urban planner and presents another side of city planning.

The intersection design consists of making space for all necessary activities - car traffic, bus stop, and parking, ensure the necessary turning angles and the pedestrian crosses. The design process is based on a thoroughly research on traffic technical characteristics and standards used in transport infrastructure. Planning the traffic lightning is mostly based on personal observation and experience. A small research has been developed to create an understanding on how time is perceived both by pedestrians and drivers. Based on the findings, time has been allocated for each direction.

The functional analysis shows a balanced and diverse structure of facilities over the residential neighbourhood. The social lofe of the area happends punctual, in the intersections and its generated by the church or several points of interest like shops. The transport infrastructure is characterised by small narrow street, some of them one way streets, that keeps the character local and produces reduces car traffic.

ANALYSIS An overview over the land occupancy percentage and land use ration are meant to give information about the way the land has been used in the studied area and the ration between the buildings and the plots. The land use ratio shows average coeficients, that being translated into an appropiate building height for the plot surfaces. The land occcupancy percentage reveals that more than half of the area is characterised by quite large buildings in comparison with the available plot surface. This highlights the trend of large housing area and small garden space, very specific for central areas. The two black and white analysis stress on the ration between built environment and vacant environment. In this case, the upper one reveals a high housing density, that together with the little free space, can lead to lower living standards, more indoor activities than outdoor activities, decreased vegetation and green areas and the appearance of the ‘tunnel feeling’.

ANALYSE SYNTESIS

RENEWAL PROPOSAL The conclusions drawn from the systesis are implemented into a final renewal solution, while filtered through the regulations map. The final proposal is developed for a smaller area and presents all necessary changes that might lead to an improved urban image, higher living standards, increased social activities and improved environmental factors. The change is not meant to be radical, but small and punctual.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL LIBRARY FOR CHILDREN


LIBRARY PLAN round, organic and inviting shapes

The children’s library gathers together in one project the challenge of designing an area for children and different areas for adults. The library for kids works like a workshop area, with round tables where children can read and work together. It has direct light from the glass roof and glass walls all around surround it.

According to the project’s requirements, a flower shop is designed to be part of the same building. It blends into the landscape due to the glass structure and creates a strong link with the surrounding park that guests the multi functional building.

FACADES & SECTIONS

The building has a flat profile and counts on a minimal intervention within the natural area. The glass structure permits see-through and a better link with nature and the wood used for pavement and roof match with the trees specific for a park. The library promotes a better connection for the kids with the nature and invites them to play outdoor, access the close lake and benefit from the fresh air, bright light and beautiful view of nature.

The task is particularly hard, as the plot represents the ‘leftovers’ of an urban island, ‘populated’ with many interwar buildings. The existing buildings are coloured using a hatching texture. As result, the studied area (marked with a red dashed line) functions as a coridor between the existing buildings and has access to 3 pedestrial streets.

The core idea of this project is to turn the challenges into advantages, in this case, see the blind walls as something special, not as an obstacle in the designing process. They become the base of the museum, where all parts lean on.

CULTURAL MUSEUM 1


On ground level, the connexion between the five buildings is made through the pedestrian coridor among them. On the next level, three of the museum parts are connected through a glass passage. The other two represent offices and a public cafe. One of the biggest downside of such a design is the lack of natural light, assured in this project through glass facades. Additional, several illuminators have been located on the building’s corner (to offer light into the buildings from another perspective) and on the ground - to illuminate the underground floor. Due to the limited surface, the museum is an experimental project, with the main purpose to increase social cohesion, generate urban activities and offer a diffferent architectural view in an area dominated by the same interwar buildings.
