SURF CENTER

Surf and Activity Center by Denmarks Westcoast

Surf Center 6th semester 2015 Duration: 8 weeks Tools: Rhino, V-ray, lazercutter

This project provides a proposal to build a surf

center in Hvide Sande at Denmarks Westcoast. But it will be more than that.

The center will also become a meeting place for the locals and tourist, it will encourage already existing activities but also create new ones to attract more people to come, and where different activities and people will interact with each other.

Harbour

City

Hvide Sande is a vacation place for tourist and meeting point

for surfers. The surfers come for the good surfing circumstances in the water but they also appreciate the climate, the nature and that it is calm so they can get some rest. A part from being visited by tourist the city has around 3000 locals living there all year around. The site for the surf center is situated close both to the city, the harbour, the sea and the popular beach

Beach Surf

Abstract model from phase 1 that we were asked to take inspiration from in our project.

To make the building work day and evening, winter and sum-

mer and to attract more people than the surfers, some public spaces and more activities will be included, for example; a sauna to make it possible to use the beach for winter bath, a training hall where for example yoga could be practiced both by hotel guests and locals, a café/restaurant which can be used both day and night and a big meeting room. The façade on the surf center, café and meeting room will be able to open to some outdoor areas.

In terms of materials for the construction metal frames will

be used, which relates to the industry part of Hvide Sande. For the dwellings the rooms will be placed inside these frames, these will be in wood, inspired from the fisher cabins and classic Nordic summerhouses and half of the walls will be in glass to let the light come in and to give some views to the outside. In most of the common spaces all walls will be in glass. For all rooms there will be lamenas, both to protect from the salty, windy, wet weather and for the dwellings also to protect from observation from outside. The lamenas will have different rotation depending on purpose.

The roof is lifted up to let light come in and will protect from northwest winds and be opened up for the sun from east to west.

The metal frames and the rooms will be lifted up by concrete elements. These elements will also work as ramps and outdoor areas to connect the levels and the different parts of the building.

The center will include 20 dwellings where it is possible

to stay over night. The dwellings will be rooms where you can close the door and just relax. The only view will be the sky and no one will be able to see into the dwellings from outside. This will be a big contrast to the public spaces, which will have good views and easy access. When sleeping in the dwellings you will have an outdoor feeling. There will be private courtyards to increase this. The courtyards will be in direct connection to the bedroom and a glass faรงade will illuminate the division between inside and outside. The same feeling will be experienced in the shower. You will be able to look outside and to have light from the sky, but no one will be able to see you.

THE MARKET

an Urban Catalyst

The Market 4th semester 2014 Duration: 10 weeks Tools: Rhino, V-ray, lazercutter

There is an on going project of

making Aarhus harbor a more appealing place for the citizens. New apartments, dorms, restaurants and mixed activities have taken place and more are to come. One building, the Z house, was putted on pause because of economy crisis. The process stopped when only the ground and garage were built. This became the site for the assignment of creating a market. In addition to the market, the place should be able to work as a public meeting point. The program contains market, open temporary market, supermarket and parking.

CAFÉ MARKET

There

is a lack of green areas at the harbor, therefore the roof of the market will be covered in grass and used as a green public space with view towards the sea. The roof will collect and transport rain water to a pond in the lower level.

A lot of iconic buildings have been built at the harbor, therefore this market will instead be hidden in a lower level and it will be easy to access for both pedestrians and cars.

The angle on the market is in contrast to the previous foundation, it makes the sun reach in trough the glass facades.

ACTIVITY PATH

Connect and activate old quarry at Mallorca

Activity Path 5th semester 2014 Duration: 4 weeks Tools: Rhino, site measure, wood workshop

The

site is situated south of Palma, Mallorca, in Portals Vells- the old harbor. The site has been used for stone quarry of the majorcan marĂŠ stone, a type of sandstone. The quarry has been smoothen out of the weather conditions and is now used for boats to arrive to and for people to sunbath and jumping in the water. The caves and the significant differences in levels still reveals the history of the site.

Documentation of surfaces on site from top of the caves down to the sea

One of my focus points for this project was the level changes at the site. They divided the site in different spaces and gave the place an interesting change from the flat beaches. But they also became an obstacle when moving on and through the site. Something the path should solve.

Another problem to solve were the rough surface at the site. It was difficult to walk and lie upon without getting hurt.

The path is created to relate with the old quarry and traditional Majorcan building techniques by using local materials such as the marĂŠ stone. The path is excavated from the site and the material is mixed with concrete and used again to create the shapes and heights appropriate for the purpose but still blend in with the site in color and material.

tal Vells. Both by making it easier to walk at the site without hurting you feet at the places where the surface was most rough, and by making it easier to reach all the levels in the stony site.

At the same time as it is a path for walking, it also have some activities, which activates the site at places it was not used so much. This makes it possible for more people to use the site and not only by passing by, it also invites you to stay, jump in the water, sit down, relax or observe.

It is possible to use the big, public areas or the smaller, private spots.

In both plan and section it is shown how to use the Activity Path. In the plan drawing it is revealed how the path is adapted and formed from the levels and shape of the site.

JOINT VENTURE

Phase 1 & 2

Phase 1 (Joint Venture) 3rd semester 2013 Duration: 2 weeks Tools: Cnc drilling, rhino, 1:1 wood model

A

hands-on experience on assembling wood timber without the use of metal brackets. In the process we were introduced to new tools for digital fabrication: CNC drilling. The exercise entails solving a specific task utilizing both traditional types of joinery and digital tools. To use the new tools we had to adapt the classic joint so the technique and shape would work together. We created a �dragverk�, a beam structure. The unit created 10 beams structures, which together became a table in scale 1:1.

27

Phase 2 (Joint Venture) 3rd semester 2013 Duration: 5 weeks Tools: Rhino, metal+wood workshop

In phase two of

the joint venture assignment the focus was on our study of the overall structure and its spatial potentials. How do we unfold and challenge the relation of structure and surface?

It was time to go even deeper into the understanding of wooden structures and their joints in order to develop new proposals for coverings that work with the spatial potentials of the structure.

My

focus was on levels in relation to the human body. And how levels can affect our movement inside a space. From a lot of investigation with people with different heights in different situations some standard measurements started to create a system, which became the foundation for this project.

To create a system for a predetermined, but hidden movement

at the same time as creating a wooden structure in several levels some more rules were set up. The rules for the last formation were: 1. The movement should decide the shape of the construction 2. For each new level the platform has to change direction 3. All rows have to have three levels in at least one square 4. All rows have to have at least one diagonal platform. These rules created a system that let the construction “build itself �. The result was a formation which invited a certain movement, like a labyrinth. At the top there is a place to sit, rest and observe.

THE MASK

Reused Concept, Different Context

The Mask 5th semester 2014 Duration: 3 weeks Tools: water jet, metal, plaster

We were asked to use the knowledge acquired from an investigat-

ed case study: Ricardo Bofils summerhouse on Ibiza, and apply this information in a new context. The previous research became exposed to and tested in a different environment completely.

The new context for applying the tectonics and concept from case study were the face of a fellow student. This gave opportunity to work in scale 1:1 and focus about context rather than concept. Material and construction became a big part of the project.

33

The

Summer House on Ibiza had two main walls in a very organic and rounded shape. Inside the house there were three different kinds of rooms; closed, open but with roof and open without roof. The mask is also created out from two “walls” They are shaped to create three types of rooms as in the summerhouse. The shape is adapted to the face in the same way the terrain affected the shape of Bofills house. In that case there were trees and a sloping terrain, in the mask it was the nose, the eyes and the mouth. The “rooms” divided the functions of the face.

INFORMATION CENTER

A public space and informationcenter in Gellerup

Gellerup Information center 5th semester 2014 Duration: 2,5 weeks Group: Jonathan Rosenørn Schmedes, Lau Filosof Poulsen, Lasse Deichmann, Mads Hundahl Tools: Rhino, V-Ray, wood model, lazercutter

We

were asked to make a suggestion for an information center to “New Gellerup”, a suburb to Aarhus Denmark.

Gellerup is about to go through some changes to become a better neighborhood to live in and visit. The information center will show the citizens and visitors the new Gellerup but it will also work as a public space and meeting point.

Some wishes from the developer were that the construction should be able to move to another place after 2-3 years and that the architecture should be open and welcoming, open the whole year around, work as an image for the area and that the construction should have a roof terrace.

Our proposal is to work with a big tent construction, it has a low

material cost and is easy to move and adapt. The core underneath the roof would be the presentation room with the city model. From this light, high ceiling room you can easy access the other rooms and the roof terrace. The transparent faรงade gives opportunity to se the model even after opening hours and you can also se it from above when standing at the roof terrace. The tent will always be available as a public space so the citizens can use it after office hours.

Putting things together 2nd semester 2013 Duration: 4 weeks Tools: hand drawing, wood construction

Completion

of the already existing brick landscape with a 1:1 wood construction, putted together only with wooden joints. The assignment were an experiment with structure and material in an integrated project which aims to design and build additions or completions for the brick landscape.

Dehabitation, Thy 1st semester 2012 Duration: 1 week Group work: all 1st year students Tools: Hands on experience with machines at site

The purpose of

this exercise was to develop an understanding of spatial relationships through transformations of existing spaces.

We got the opportunity to practice in scale 1:1 on an old school which we actually cut right through to se a real scale section. We did a lot of investigations to se the structure of an actual building and to learn how to work at site.
