Anna Bluke-Hansen Jeg ser mig selv som stærkt motiveret landskabsarkitekt, der nyder at arbejde hårdt for at se ideer og inspirationer manifesteret i meningsfulde designs.
I am a highly motivated landscape architect who enjoys working hard to see ideas and inspirations become meaningful designs.
I det første år af min karriere arbejdede jeg i London på en lang række byrum-, bolig- og byplanlægningsprojekter, herunder taghaver. Jeg var en del af en entusiastisk tegnestue, hvor jeg virkelig fik udviklet mine færdigheder i projektering. I København har jeg taget del i forskellige Skandinaviske arkitektkonkurrencer og projekter i planlægningsfasen.
During the early stages of my career, I have worked in London on numerous public realm, residential and urban planning projects including roof landscapes on new developments. Being a part of an enthusiastic design studio, I enjoyed furthering my skills in design detailing. In Copenhagen I have been a part of various Scandinavian architectural competitions and projects in planning stages.
Fra en tidlig alder har jeg haft en stor interesse for planter og en bred viden herom, der sammen med en passion for kunst, førte mig i retning af landskabsarkitekturen. Jeg ser det som en naturlig del af arbejdet, at blive inspireret af en bred vifte af steder, kilder og folk. Samtidig med at jeg udvikler mig fagligt og lærer strukturere nye ideer. Min kreative entusiasme afbalanceres konstant af min omhyggelige tilgang til den opgave som ligger foran mig. Jeg udfører ideer og opgaver med stor præcision, omsorg og opmærksomhed på detaljer.
From an early age I have had a keen interest in and a wide knowledge of plants, which together with a passion for visual arts, led me to the field of landscape architecture. I am a genuine fan of keeping my eyes open, being inspired by a wide range of places, sources and people - learning and giving structure to new ideas. I find that my creative enthusiasm is constantly balanced by my meticulous approach to any task at hand. I execute ideas and tasks with precision, attention to detail, and most importantly care.
For nylig har jeg afsluttet mit speciale ‘Quiet Places for the Active City’. I samarbejde med en anden udforskede jeg, hvordan byplanlægning kan være i stand til at engagere brugeren på en måde, der tillader én at genskabe forbindelsen med sig selv, i stedet for at lade sig distrahere af byens endeløse sansepåvirkninger. Denne undersøgelse har givet mig en række nyttige designværktøjer til, hvordan urbane landskaber kan påvirke den enkelte, og skabe en unik atmosfære. Derfor er jeg af den generelle overbevisning, at byens velfungerende er afhængig af, at både de æstetiske kvaliteter og miljømæssige aspekter tænkes sammen.
Most recently in a joint Master thesis ‘Quiet Places for the Active City’, we undertook an exploration of how urban design is able to engage the user in a way that allows one to reconnect with themselves instead of being distracted by the endless array of stimuli that is present in the city. This investigation has provided us with useful design tools for considering how designed landscapes affect the individual creating a unique atmosphere. Therefore, I see that the aesthetic and ecological aspects of our environment go hand in hand.
Mit mål er, at være en værdifuld medarbejder, som engageret bidrager til et tværfagligt team, i skabelsen af mindeværdige steder.
My aim is to be a valuable team member to a multidisciplinary design practice, and contribute my skills and dedication in creating memorable places.

Ma s te r t h e s is e xplori n g q u i e t pl ace s i n th e ‘grey ’ si te s o f Co p e n ha ge n The urban realm in Copenhagen is becoming increasingly saturated with activities and programmes. The success of urban spaces is often measured by the amount of people using the environment rather than how the spaces are experienced by individuals. The over-programming of the urban realm results in few places where one can experience a break from the sensorial overstimulation associated with urban life. This thesis is an exploration of places for quieting the mind within the urban realm. These are understood as places in the city where one can draw away to seek inner silence and a contemplative experience. Thus the transformation project of Kødbyen undertaken in this thesis seeks to elaborate how urban design is able to engage the user and encourage them to be mindfully present in the environment - to reconnect with themselves instead of being distracted by an endless array of stimuli.

The project foundation is a phenomenological analysis of 4 case study sites and relevant theories which are then used to qualify strategies for designing quiet places. The design strategies are directly informing the transformation of the Kødbyen site in a way that seeks balance between the lively and active as well as the calm, quiet and hidden parts of Kødbyen. Thus it explores the potentials for the post-industrial site with its unique scale and structure to facilitate reflection and an intimate experience with the environment allowing one to quiet the mind, whilst maintaining and strengthening the particular character of the districts within Kødbyen.

Kvægtorvet - a void in the city Kvægtorvet is a void in the city where one can experience a break from overstimulation. The enclosing walls emphasise the vastness of the square. The conversion of Øksnehallen into a pavilion exhibition space extends the square beyond the roof-cover. Repetition of both the existing pavilion pillars and the introduced lighting elements in the cobblestones encourage one to walk freely though the space becoming observant and reflectant.

Experiencing quiet places
Transitions and thresholds
1. Blocked out stimuli
2. A void
7.Threshold
8. An unexpected entrance
A physical environment that blocks out undesired stimuli can aid inner silence and contemplation.
A void awaits the perceiving individual for a contemplative experience.
A threshold can be used as a physical seperation allowing one to step ’into another world’.
A hidden threshold can be used to emphasise the quality of a quiet place in contrast to its surroundings.
3. Emptiness
4. Enclosure
9. Linear transition
10. Vast open space / peripheral vision
An empty space can be used in highlighting a specific phenomena, and hereby to focus one’s attention on selected stimuli which can support contemplation.
A physical enclosure, for example, the archetypical walled garden, can serve as an effective means to block out undesired stimuli.
Create an anticipation for a calm and reflective experience
Transition into a quiet place can be facilitated without a clear physical separation. One can experience intimacy with the environment through peripheral vision.
5. Form and proportion
6. Position of the body
11. Transition out of a quiet place
12. Freedom of movement
The proportions of an enclosure to the human body has a tremendous impact on how the space affects the perceiving individual. A change in proportion can heighten one’s awareness.
A leaned back body position can contribute to quieting the mind due to a changed visual and audial perception.
A gradual transition out of a quiet place allows one to maintain a tranquil state of mind.
A balance of allowing freedom of movement and aiding orientation can create a calming effect.

City in a city
3 Kødbyerne
Active vs. quiet
Kødbyen as a district is distinctly different from its surroundings thus having a city in a city character.
Kødbyen consists of three districts each developed in the context of their time period. Today, the identities of the White and the Brown Kødby are clear and well recognised. However, the Grey Kødby, lying between the two others, does not have a strong identity of its own.
Kødbyen is known for its active uses 24/7. However, the built framework provides considerable potentials for quiet places which should be explored further.

Linking Kødbyen to it’s surroundings while strengthening the ‘city in a city’ character establishes better connections and important historic links. These strategic meeting point of Kødbyen and the city are crucial for the experience and awareness of the post-industrial site.
The entrance to the Grey Kødby is seen as an important link from Vesterbro through Kødbyen and beyond to the harbour. New buildings and structures replicate the small courtyards of the Brown Kødby extending the particular character of Kødbyen’s edge. Historically, the meeting point of the Grey Kødby and Halmtorvet has been an administrative center with a courtyard garden. It now serves as a threshold into Kødbyen.

The regeneration project of Shadwell Estate, which dates back to 1866 and 1935, is carried out in response to the residents request for a wider range of activities and green spaces. The robust design proposal maximises the open space, enhances biodiversity and unifies the estate through landscape design and activities. Food growing, play and garden areas are combined with seating and playful elements to create a dynamic, legible environment, that has a distinct sense of place and identity.
During the project work, I have taken part in the design development, produced an extensive package of presentation and technical drawings, taken part in and created material for public consultations. Working with key stakeholders, I took great interest in developing and detailing a planting scheme which meets the client’s vision.

Planting concept The planting proposal helps to define the gateways and celebrate arrival into the estate as well as providing a year-round interest for the residents. The garden areas are planted to create two distinct types; gateway gardens and courtyard garden areas. The gateway gardens will have striking orange and red floral accents, injecting vibrant colour at these key spaces. The courtyard gardens have a more subtle character and create a calming environment.

Staging the finding of the Sun Chariot as a landscape experience
Responsibilities
Trundholm Mose is located in Odsherred Geopark. One of the Geopark’s aims is to highlight the historical qualities of the landscape and make them accessible for visiotrs. The project proposes to transform the reclaimed Trundholm Bog into a publicly accessible nature area. New wetlands and meadows will increase biodiversity, while a new route through the landscape will guide the visitors the the finding place of the Sun Chariot telling the story of the Bronze Age landscape.
The project was developed in a small group where I contributed with site analysis, design development, graphical representation of the proposal (visualisations, plans, sections, diagrams) as well as writing skills. During the project work I often took on a team leader role.

Since Trundholm Mose turned into a bog the farmers began to seek interest in establishing new grasslands for the production of winter feed for the livestock. The bog was drained in 1799.
The Sun Chariot was found in 1902 when the fields were first ploughed. During the 20th century a more intensive drainage system has been introduced to support the growing agricultural use of Trundholm Mose. At this time the fields were divided and sold to private owners.
Today parts of the area are suffering from severe flooding due to the agricultural use over the past 100 years. Many lots are not used any longer and have lost their agricultural value. Today the area is mainly used for hunting and recreation. There are still grass fields and few farmed areas.

Renaturalising the Watersystem
Provide local access to nature
Taking away some of the drainage in the heavily waterlogged areas will increase the wetlands, but also provide new habitats and minimize pollution from agriculture.
Access to Trundholm Mose is improved by completing missing paths. The Sun Chariot Route consists of pathways in the landscape as well as new broadwalks.
The Sun Chariot Route The Sun Chariot Route allows visitors and local residents to experience diverse aspects of the nature in Trundholm Mose and leads to the Finding Place of the Sun Chariot. The route takes visitors along new elements in the landscape which encourage exploring the bog from above and close within.

The development plan for Skryllegården was requested by Lund Municipality in order to rebuild and strengthen Skryllegården as a recreational area and an entrance to Skrylle nature reserves. It encompases a strategy for optimising and improving nature and sports trails as well as defining Skryllegården as an arrival point with clear identity.
During the project work, I took part in the site analysis, developing the concept and design proposal, as well as the full graphic presentation of the project.

A n e x p lo ra t io n o f a su st a in a b le f u t u re for i nd u s t r ia l d is t r i cts The current industry model in Gladsaxe is based on individual businesses and a high degree of privacy. Most large businesses have extensive parking areas and private catering facilities. This results in an abundance of paved surfaces and fenced off areas, and does not provide opportunities for social interactions and recreation. What if we change the industry model? This strategy proposes three themes of sharing in business districts which create more value for businesses, improve the image of the area and create a platform for social life.

The production district hosts businesses that require infrastructure for production and cargo. Groups of production and office buildings are located around a central meadow, which has evolved from the depaved parking area. Production companies have the opportunity to share courtyards to maximise space efficiency, share storage and machinery, and benefit from shared security. A green boulevard connects the meadow to other large businesses in the area, inviting people to the Shared Knowledge Centre and outdoor activity zone.

Ba ck g ro u n d Vestparken investigates a reintroduction of Harrestrup Å into the adjacent linear park, using water flow and its interaction with the surrounding areas, and topography as the main source of inspiration. The stream changes character as it flows from Damhussøen down to the bay of Kalveboderne, highlighting different local identities. The distinctive ways to interact with the water will enhance different qualities, and provide various experiences for the people in the Copenhagen metropolitan area.
