PROJECT SITE
In this project we analyse site conditions, formulate future scenarios by the use of filmic explorations and construct an urban intervention that responds to the current spatial qualities, while simultaneously setting out a potential trajectory for the future of Benzinøen.

We want to investigate a filmic methodology in relation to landscape architecture: study multi sensory imprints by using film as a tool in the design process. The aim is to capture more living and dynamic aspects of a site, such as movement, sound, vision, space and human-site interrelationships in order to explore Landscape Architectural design in new affective ways. As well as, to study how a film perspective can lead to new knowledge about spatial surroundings and the interwoven sensorial aspects of experience in the design process.
Method Research Define and present Benzinøen and its landscape in a one minute film, model and initial analysis. Movement Define a concept for recording the movement on site in film and a plan drawing. Supplement the presentation with a diagram of your concept for recording. Sound Define and present the soundscapes of Benzinøen in a film/sound collage and through 1:1 physical samples taken of site. Supplement with diagrams locating sounds and samples. Bodily gaze Define and present spatial typologies of Benzinøen in film and in a physical model of site. Supplement with diagrams of the various spatial typologies defined.

Concept of intervention Develop the concept of the intervention based on our filmic site explorations. We intend to enhance and/or change the spatial conditions through a prototype. The intervention will affect space, function and materials. Final proposal Formulate a final proposal that consists of a mix of one or more of the following media: Film (introduction, analysis), Intervention (prototype), plan drawing, zoom in, sections, model, 1:1 samples, etc.
