Back to the village Revitalization strategy for a Danish village
Errindlev, Lolland municipality Masterplan 3.000.000 m 2 (Village) 135 km 2 (Catchment area) Thesis project 2016 Tutor: Morten Kjer Jeppesen
What could be regeneration strategies for areas with a declining population ? How can such areas find relevance again ?

The countryside of Denmark has been depopulating during the past century and the Cultural heritage of Danish villages is many places threatened with extinction. The population drainage from the smaller settlements, has affected the local market of housing and detail and welfare institutions such as schools and healthcare facilities are being dismantled and centralised in bigger cities. Errindlev, on the southern coast of Lolland, is a classical example of the struggling Danish village. This settlement used to be a thriving community with a strong cooperative tradition, but is today fighting for survival.
As our society has developed, the village has lost it’s relation to it’s original source, the agricultural landscape. The village which gave birth to the cooperative movement is no longer an important driver in our contemporary society and rural municipalities are trying to find new foothold, in tourism- and destination development. In connection to new strategies for tourism the countryside is in need of new organisation and a rediscovery of local identity. This thesis is a study of future perspectives for the village.
Dairy The cooperative dairy is one of the best preserved examples from it’s time. It was protected by the agency for culture in 2000. Since then a group of villagers have continuously worked to ensure maintenance and repair.
Village road As the village evolved the car became the dominant form of transport and the road is today monotonous and overdimensioned. The soft edges between the road and the houses has been dissolved and the houses facing the road are no longer as attractive to future residents.
Blacksmith This building used to be the villages blacksmith, but is no longer in use. The house is now empty, but contains a lot of cultural and building qualities.
Dyke Today the dyke is not only a protection against the rising sea levels, but has also become a recreational route along the southern coast of Lolland.
Nature conservation area - Hyllekrog South-west of Errindlev is a nature conservation area which is known for its amazing landscape and rich bird life. Just west of the area is a little beach.
Manor house landscape Errindlev is sorrounded by manor houses. In the local area many roads are flanked by trees as a part of the cultural landscape of the manor houses.

Areaplan The area strategy is based on the municipality’s current ambitions for the landscape and has been developed by looking at the catchment areas potentials, such as: streams, habitats, forests, water quality and attractions. Attractions and landscape types in the area are strengthened through a recreative route, primarily running along existing streams. 4
By creating a new wetland corridor the water quality in the steams and the fjord is remarkably improved and biodiveristy is strengthened. Furthermore it creates a new strong connection, that improves the landscape experience for both tourists and permanent residents.

Landscape strategy The landscape is the greatest potential in the local area. With sorrounding manor house forests, nature conservation areas and small streams there is great potential to develop a new wetland corridor, which will both improve waterquality and connect attractions in the area. The diagram to the left shows the different landscape types in the area, that are enhanced through cheap and simple interventions.
The social backbone The road which runs through the village, is today very wide and oversized compared to the amount of traffic. Asphalt dominates more than 50% of the streetscape. The road is widened for pedestrians and cyclists and new green chicanes reduce car speed and gives reason to make a stop in the village or as a resident use the front yard for social activities. The road becomes the social backbone in the village, as it once used to be.
Road transformation - elements

Promenade The car road is made more narrow to give more space for pedestrians and cyclists.
Green buffer Green chicanes between the road and the new walking space, make the cars slow down and at the same time give room for new vegetation and a landscape experience.
New atmospheres Different kinds of vegetation and a new surface on the promenade changes the atmosphere of the village. To the right is a diagram that shows examples of potential plants and their qualities.
Social edge The transformation of the road would give back the houses their front area and possibly activate the front yards to become social spaces, used for other purposes than just as a buffer between the houses and the carspace.
�
The pond The pond is part of the old village center. Here are several buildings, that due to their former function have both cultural and building value. Such as, The old smith, the saddler and one of the oldest farms in the village, which is still preserved as it was built originally, with timber framing and thatched roof. Amongst other buildings, the smith has potential to become a little attraction in the loca area. It could serve icecream or light meals during the summer season. Furthermore this area could be an attractive location for weekend cottages or permanent residence, since both the pond and the sorrounding fields offer closeness to the landscape whilst still being part of the village life.
The cooperative movement is what has pushed and kept things going in this village.

Knud Jensen, Local resident
The cooperative shop and the village church The coop in the village is one of the most important places for the local community. Both due to its function as a meetingplace and the cooperative values, which it has been built upon. Errindlev coop was established in 1868 and is the oldest in Denmark. After bankruptcy in 2010, the residents of the village took over once again, and it is now running successfully. The Church is placed traditionally, in the center of the village on the highest point in the area, and can be seen from afar. The church is still in use, but one might imagine, that with the declining amount of members it could gain new relevance in the future, as a place for hosting other exciting cultural events.

The owners are now in the situation that maintenance of the house and garden is becomming too much of a burden. They would like an easier residence..
”
The wish is an apartment with an elevator or a little one-level townhouse with easy access to shopping and public transportation, preferably in the local area.
This is currently lacking in Albertslund.

Børge Strandfelt, real estate Has been working in the area since 1963
Albertslund West was zoned in 1960, as part of the finger plan. The collected data (eg. maps, demographic studies and interviews) suggests that many of the elderly people who live in the area today, built their house at that time, nurtured their children and are now growing old in the same neighbourhhod. Thus many of the residents have a very strong attachment to the area. The area has naturally become a retirement community, with a high density of elderly single family house owners. This phenomenon, which is occurring both in Denmark and internationally, will in the future put pressure on the municipalities and the healthcare system.
Through our research we could conclude three mainchallenges for the municipality in the future: Rising demand for homecare, longer traveltime for the homehelper and changing tasks in the healthcare system.

Interviews with the local residents helped us discover some basic values of the residents. Values more important to preserve through their old age. The analysis of the residents’ dreams and wishes for the future defined three different prototypes, that suggest how to solve the challenges of the municipality in the future while still maintaining the life quality for the elderly.
The project was exhibited at Beijing Design Week, 2015. 10

Increasing neighbourhood population by 50 % The downsizing of the house increase the density of residents in the area, potentially up to 50 %. This gives better economical foundation for the municipality to create service centres in the area. These new hubs can give room for needed facilities and new communities. Here, the elderly might be able to have a good meal in the company of friends, workout or keep their brains active through common or single activites. In time and as the neighbourhood changes over again, to a bigger group of younger families, these centres can transform and be directed to the dominant generation in the neighbourhood. The iso shows how the different prototypes could be merged into the neighbourhood, how the new hubs could be situated, and how a new green pedestrian and cycle route would create an improved infrastructure for the elderly, who in a few years might not be able to drive.

The infill, Example of a prototype
Downsize! - New prototypes in the suburban neighbourhood Infill The infill is based upon values such as: freedom, independence and ownership for the elderly. They still stay in their old plot, but downsize to a smaller unit. In this way they are relieved from a lot of concerns regarding maintenance and economy.
12
Tower The tower focuses on maintaining and strengthening the community in the neighbourhood and minimise the burden of maintenance for the elderly. Also it gives easier conditions for the homecare system, that can concentrate more tasks in one place.
House division The house division makes it possible for the elderly to stay in their house and at the same time gives a younger family opportunity to buy and afford a house. In time the elderly can release more space, whilst the younger family might need more.
Upservice! - The food hub and health care station is an example of how the level of service could be improved in the neighbourhood without increasing the cost for the municipality. Most of the elderly in the neighbourhood are entering an age where they might soon need help with cooking, cleaning and hygeine. By introducing these hubs, near their homes they would be able to stay fresh and active for longer, whilst having a higher quality of life. Especially regarding social relations and food. The food hub would be a community space, which later on could serve to younger families or function as a school garden, for the kids in the neighbourhood.
Livsstykke Future perspectives for sustainable social housing
The project “Livsstykke” in Seest, Denmark won in the first phase and qualified for the second phase of the competition future sustainable social housing. The competition seeks new answers to how social housing can meet the demands of the future. New ways of integrating sustainable solutions with the values and economical restrictions of social housing. In the jury report “Livsstykke” is praised for being a “coherent and original proposal for a low-rise high density residential project based on broadly founded analysis and a strong vision of sustainable social housing, both aware of tradition as well as being contemporary”. 13

“In its entirety the proposal is, in many ways, a unique, original and value-driven project that in a very thought out manner challenges our ideas of the future of social housing.” Livsstykke is planned with a wish to create informal and formal meetings where communities can arise and thrive. I was part of the project from the beginning phase and was involved in the process from research, concept development, building layout, sketching, sustainable development and finally creating presentation material. I designed the floor plans, material diagrams and the cluster plan which you find in the following page.

Dormitory for innovation & entrepreneurship
Amager fælled, Copenhagen Residential (6.835 m 2) Bachelor project 2013 Tutor: Arne Cermak Nielsen
Student housing in a new urban area
One dorm
Internal flow Kitchens and roofterraces
The dormitory for innovation and entrepreneurship is based on a masterplan for the new Amager fælled neighbourhood in Copenhagen. The new urban area will be dense and has sustainable and social ambitions, which has been part of informing the design of the buildings. The project aims to use the typology of the dorm as a driver for an inspiring hub for students with special interest in entrepreneurship and creative skills. The mainambition is to create a place that opens up to the city and gives room for new communities and social activities, both internally between the residents, but also between the residents and visitors.
The dorm has been design with three spaces in mind:
Public spaces 1. Wood workshop 2. Graphic workshop 3. Event space / assembly hall 4. Digital workshop 5. Textile workshop 6. Metal workshop 7. Material library 8. Reception and meeting rooms
Courtyards
The public spaces allow for the display of new projects and ideas. Workshops on the groundfloor allows for an open flow between inside and outside, creating a physical meeting between residents and visitors. The internal connections on first floor give room for community and the life between the residents. This is where kitchens, living rooms and common roof terraces are. The kitchen are internally connected through the roof terraces, which can be used for barbecuing, reading, parties or green. The residents’ rooms allow for the residents to withdraw, without disturbances such as noise or smells from the common spaces. The rooms are economical and functional, but all have a big window with a broad windowsill, which offers a place to sit and to contemplate.

Den grønne landsby - En ny grøn legeplads i kvarteret.
‘Pizzapladsen’ - Markedsplads og mødested på Delosvej.
We have in collaboration with a local project group, developed three new public spaces on Amager. On the basis of three pop-up events, conducted in the spring 2015, where more than 300 citizens were heard we have drawn up a vision catalogue to create a more safe and green urban environment. The wish of Amager East Local Comitee and the local citizens was to transform a series of unused plazas in the area, to become more useful for the many children and their families. On the basis of wishes from engaged citizens and local comitee members we have developed a vision catalogue, which was used for inspiration, for matching of expectations with stakeholders, as communication tool for other users and for political processing.
Furthermore the material has been a basis for the local comitees further work with the projects, amongst others for fundraising. As an example, the material contributed to raise funds for temporary projects in the area, such as a traffic playground, to great joy for the children in the area. The playground activates the urban space, while the projects can be developed more permanently. The project is to a very high extent a communication project, which needs to be understood and supported broadly and for these reason we have chosen to represent the ideas through isometrical drawings which are easy to read for all.
