THE HYDRA PROJECT The name 'The Hydra Project' covers a number of research seminars and summer schools on the Greek island of Hydra focusing on topologies and morphologies of the built, artificial environment of today. My drawings must be seen as a consecutive investigation as a complex morphological membrane, where topological forces form contours and allocate structures, that weave together terrain and town mass in a continuous, coherent malleable web. The current site shows only my contribution to the bigger investigation which you will find further information on at: http://www.karch.dk/hydra/Menu/Publications T h e

E n v i r o n m e n t
The Hydra project has developed a strategic and reflective approach to the artificial environments of today’s world, which may be seen as an aesthetic proposal for design acknowledging prior articulated and existing materialities and matter. The project can be said to operate in the dense and vibrant complexity of matter resulting from 200 years of modernity – from megacities over ruined landscapes, to the ever increasing glut of material culture, as well as environmental issues; that is forces, forms, and energies, which may be treated productively by accepting that architecture and design is taking place in a world of dynamic, continuous and virtually projected and thus transversal artifice. Three important problems emerges out of this genealogy of the architectural event: To p o l o g y What are ects, for ing does tographic
the options and implications of instance as expressed in drawings not function as representation but material which feed back into
the continuity between projand the world: when drawas enactive working of a carthe topologies engendered?
D i a g r a m s What is the ‘flesh’ that enable diagrams and the workings of elements and entities apprehended from cartography and reinserted into transformations of real structures of artifice, for instance in urban areas as new domains and scales? A e s t h e t i c s How does the aesthetics of the drawings/drawn matter produce reflections and knowledge. In particular, what is the potential of the intensities emerging out of computer based rendering and its related data resources and medialogies? D r a w i n g s

M a t e r i a l s
The body of drawings from the Hydra project constitute a topological landscape with a great many parallels to the architectural context in which we find ourselves today. It may be described in time and space as a complex traversed by forces, information, and synergy; expressing and configuring varied and ambiguous significances through constellations that are both real and virtual. This sattelite image of eastern berlin serve as substrata and starting point in my cartographic investigation

The architecural drawing are often associated with precision, objectivity and
communicative transparency without, however, completely assuming these characteristics. Loking closer it becomes evident that they all contain defor-
mations and displacements of the schematic; subtle subversions of that which at first glance appeared objective and invariable. What looks so consistent
and conclusive in fact turns out to be a space of unpredictability and potential movement.
The systematic structures are overlapped by shifts in the image formation. Visually these shifts occur in the composition as transformations and conversions between shapes, as irrational obstructions or inconsistencies within the
system, as repetitions which at closer inspection turn out to be alterations. The spatial construction and deconstruction of shape alternate side by side, in the
overall composition of the paintings as well as in the details, and this fluctua-
tion sustains a mental environment, a kind of reservoir, in which new visual concepts can continually take shape.

A material depository - an architectural module (bachelor 2012)
A house of research, exposure and storage of new material prototypes. Even though it is a product of its context, the material depository as a building simultaneously detaches itself from these forces by seeking to transform and extend the perception of the site. The thin-ness of the building envelope generated by the 8 x 18 metre site is exaggerated by a shard-like strategy which generates the formal language of the building.
The perception of the resultant configuration is one of a series of ambiguous endings or boundaries and forms the basis of the functional organization. A shear of the lower part of the building reiterates the longitudinal layering, produces an entry and organises ther vertical movement systems with their associated volumes.
Conflicting types of rooms sought united in a vertical and linear movement dictated by the location and the program. The house will serve as a ‘embassy of materials’ - a material depository - for DFM (The Danish National Metrology Institute). It will function as an active warehouse with a storage middle and vertical transport of goods as the backbone of the tall and narrow body of the building. An isolated void that constitutes the core framework for this project reflects the site condition and my interest in its lack of resolution.
Programmatically the house must be seen as the equivalent of an institute for scientific metrology (not to be confused with meteorology), whose function is to organize and develop measurement standards and to storage these - just with concrete materials as the target field.
Housing a research unit and consulting firm for a “new metrology” based on bioscience and chemistry, the program addresses the study of modern synthetic materials.
The building’s program links the development of new polymeric materials and cultural heritage. Figuratively speaking the program forms an “introvert” practice with a far-reaching social relevance. Expertise, a material depository and laboratory facilities here faces the uncritical economic growth and the demand of increasingly “smarter” materials.

Site: Outer Copenhagen City Heart - The Sankt Kjelds Square neighborhood; a diverse enclave of buildings delineated north towards Nygårdsvej, east to Fanøgade, south to Tåsingegade and west to Drejøgade.
Organization/location Where a housing construction from 1974 prior has left a retracted and empty end gable, I inscribe a building which will enhance the direction of the current and strict movement of the road Drejøgade. The building is added to an empty end gable raising higher than the surrounding buildings as an analogy of the corridor-like extent of the road the building is facing. The program encounters an idea of a corridor on the plain or purl as a possible change of state in the intention of a precise and directional architecture that seeks to reformulate the introvert research environment as an architectural "measurement standard" for the neighborhood.
