ABOUT ME:

25 years old. A newly found hobby in tennis has sparked a craze within me wishing

I could start my childhood over again instead of playing football for 20 years. When I’m not active I like to read books, currently trying to get into more fiction.

Lastly, I absolutely love korean food.

EMERGING [EPHEMERAL] EDIFICES

AN AXIS FOR (DE)GROWTH?

CULTURAL MOBILITY: 500 meters north of the train station in Horsens, a cultural hub, Platform K, is located. The vibrant mecca is a dynamic and open space amplifying experiences created together, independent of peoples ages or interests. As vivid and lively Platform K is, it is at the same a very fragile entity carried by voluntary forces. In this perspective, they dream of becoming the ’middle-step’ within cultural, communal and urban institutions, establishing themselves with a sustainable music venue and tapping into pre-events of major concerts at Fængslet.

DISCONNECTION & BROWNFIELDS: Inhabiting a former factory building adjoined onto several clustered containers, the physical manifestation of Platform K underlines its obscurity. As a result of its functionality, the factory finds itself situated adjacent to the train tracks. Coupled with the scattered landscape characteristic of Platform K, this raises more questions than answers. This ’emerging landscape’ presents itself at the end of an extended brownfield, connecting loosely to the train station and other central parts of Horsens, making one raise another question; can Platform K act as the catalyst of (more?) organic growth, embodying the radical principles it itself has been born from?

Metabolism

A metabolistic approach provides a renewable variation of a prototype, rather than a lasting monument.

Technological expressionism

Human needs and wishes are sought to be fulfilled by its surroundings, but the answer doesn’t necessarily lie in being a house - needs can be met with a ’capsule’.

Juxtaposition

Ephemerality

If a work is not finished in some way, the user finishes it. Grid

The superimposed grid accomodates modularity, adaption, disassembly and reconfiguration. Flexibility and longevity reduces the need for constant expansion and new construction.

Breaking the grid fosters creativity, diversity and a stronger sense of place. An added layer of complexity adds to the richness of the urban fabric. Contrasting with ’regularity’ it also has the possibility to create irregular parcels while simultaneously being visually stimulating.

Temporal ways is the way to make transition without locking into one solution.

RADICAL REDISTRIBUTION: This (de) growth perspective is employed to radically redistribute a reduction in the material size of the global economy, embodied in a local scale. An Axis for Degrowth is founded upon care, solidarity, and autonomy – in line with Platform K’s principles as an institution. Deceleration and conviviality are main thoughts in an aim to return to a ‘more natural basis of life’, extending democratic decision making in urban development.

A TAPESTRY OF GROWTH AND ORDER: With Platform K as the catalyst for cultural life and sustainable practices, this approach presents a structure for what the future could entail. Harnessing the potential of brownfields, combined with Platform K’s identity, the project aspires to meticulously arrange the small scale and self-grown, by imposing grand lines from above. In a wish to let Platform K and the surrounding community unfold and mature within the boundaries. Introducing a tapestry of growth and order.

FJORDENS HUS

A HYBRID ORGANISM

(BUILDING) CULTURE: Fjordens Hus aims to represent the culture, maritime sports, and shellfish tourism on the island of Mors. To accomodate the needs of various local seasport organisations and an experiential center for the ’seafood capital’ of Denmark, the two are combined in an attempt to bring forth a synergy between them.

Bringing forth the culture of Mors, sustainable construction is reflected in use of biogenic materials and recycled facade elements from the island itself, in an attempt to create a strong cultural connection on the ’brick architecture island’.

SEPARATING BUT CONNECTING: The name, Fjordens Hus, suggests one building, but for the maritime sports and experience center on Mors, it is precisely in the separation that the two organisms are tied together;

Life between the houses and the random encounters within is the principle of the entire project’s standpoint.

BRICK BY BRICK: Between the facade’s columns, three elements can be mounted to create a climate screen. Recycled bricks from demolition projects are positioned to form a mosaic, reflecting former houses on Mors Island. Through various shades and textures, the facade becomes a unique identity for the water sports center, reintroducing brick to Nykøbing Mors harbor. This material transformation, echoing Semper’s reference, brings Fjordens Hus into a new ecological context.

REVITALIZING PERIPHERY

PRESERVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY: In a time where buildings are being demolished to make way for new construction and resources are scarce, it is necessary to preserve and focus on what already exists. The future demands sustainable solutions that involve transformation to meet changing requirements. This calls for utilizing local potentials to enhance the quality of life in peripheral areas— breathing new life into structures whose functions have been replaced. Hereby, the transformation of the existing tower demonstrates an accessibility in a landscape where outdoor use is relatively fragmented as a result of the few facilities nearby.

MANIFESTING LOCAL CHARACTERISTICS: It is the task of architecture to manifest the local characteristics, hence the original serial number is recycled in the name of the architectural addition; Transformer 539. Through the staging of the quarry and the notorious danish field landscape, Transformer 539 tells the tale of the industrial development and its intrusion into the landscape - while serving as a space for discovery and contemplation.

EXPERIENTIAL CONTRAST:

The lightweight structure, with new functions, is meant to act as a catalyst for the neglected transformerstation and instead contribute to the experiential quality of the peripheral areas. Together, new and old, they create an experience of the contrast between the quiet, scenic, and idyllic places, while also serving as a reminder that it has all been subject to human intervention.

FLOWING FORWARD

SUSTAINABLE URBAN TRANSFORMATION IN ÅKVARTERET

CLIMATE ADAPTION: To tackle pressing challenges of the future head-on, Flowing Forward embraces a focus on the escalating issues of water management, increased precipitation, and rising sea levels. By confronting the site’s vulnerability to environmental threats, it is possible to embrace the ethos of sustainability and resilience, as the project incorporates a range of innovative solutions tailored to the specific needs of the area.

ADAPTIVE REUSE: Recognizing the historical significance of the site as a former industrial hub, the project integrates adaptive reuse as a central theme. By transforming existing structures into modern housing units, the design not only revitalizes the area but also serves as a blueprint for future urban development in Skive. Through a thoughtful combination of forward-thinking design strategies and respect for the site’s heritage, this project aims to create a vibrant and resilient new neighborhood that sets a benchmark for sustainable urban growth.

CONNECTING COMMUNITITES: As the primary objective being to seamlessly integrate Åkvarteret with Skive, the divide across Karup Å is being bridged. The development narrative pivots from isolation to inclusivity, envisioning a space that is not only accessible but also visually inviting to the public. This transformation involves establishing physical and visual connections, introducing new residential and functional elements, and creating educational spaces focused on climate awareness. Additionally, there is a deliberate effort to enhance biodiversity, ultimately uniting the area as an integral part of Skive.

COMMUNITY-CENTRIC LIVING: Åkvarteret embodies modern living ideals with a focus on community and convenience. Housing clusters are denser, maximizing green spaces. Surface-level rainwater management enhances the area’s natural beauty.

ENHANCING ÅKVARTERETS LANDSCAPE:

Adjacent to the transformed housing and offices, a new public plaza emerges, fostering urban life and community. Key to its design is innovative stormwater management, enhancing Åkvarteret’s natural and urban qualities. The plaza’s sloping pavement acts as an open stormwater drain, directing water to designated wet ponds. This sustainable solution utilizes the existing terrain, providing an eco-friendly alternative to traditional sewerage. Adjacent streets are narrowed to reduce driving speeds, promoting a pedestrian-friendly environment in line with Åkvarteret’s future living.

MULTIUSE MAKEOVER: The project seeks torepurpose some of the major industrial buildings to serve new functions while preserving their original structures. Despite their significant size, efforts have been made to reduce their footprint by removing superficial facades and dividing them into separate entities. Each building now accommodates both public amenities like visitor centers or offices and residential spaces. The transformation process respects the buildings’ structural integrity and is tailored to their individual characteristics.
