Typology Atlas
Flyvestation Værløse. These typologies work as a generalisation of overall buildingmass of the airbase. Each of the typologies have different characteristics that differentiate them from each other, while at the same time being connected by a common architectural language of usability and function first. These structures are to inform my process and are to be a catalyst for the transformation and revitalisation of my chosen site. They will do this by serving as a study of form and a method for gathering the essence of Flyvestation Værløse.
