Reframing Frederiksværk
Visualisation of main concepts. The structure of the town becomes more clear by reframing and making a gradual transition between dense urban areas and dense nature areas. The town of Frederiksværk is divided into scattered islands of townscape, and the identity is still closely connected to the steelwork. This project reframes the town, connects the urban elements and stresses the town centre by creating a gradual transition between the townscape and the surrounding landscape and nature. The identity of Frederiksværk has been closely connected to industry throughout history. During the days of glory two thousand people were employed at the steelwork. Back in time the unique location by the former coastline, between the lake Arresø and the Roskilde Fjord has been used deliberately in order to create natural water power for the industry, and in order to ensure this development a canal was dug by man. Today the town finds itself at a crossroads; because of the closure
of the steelwork it is difficult to create jobs and to attract inhabitants – this project redefines the identity of the town by restructuring the urban elements and by using the existing landscape.
Islands of townscape
Frederiksværk has developed into scattered islands of townscape, and without a structure combining these islands the town appears structureless and confusing. By using a geometric form – a square – our main concept is to frame the town. This frame is placed in order to grab the surroundings – the scattered islands – and the inside of the frame is to be accentuated as the centre of the town. By using the frame the different islands gain enhanced connectivity and access to the town centre.
Potential of existing landscape and surrounding nature
Frederiksværk has developed at its location because of its inherent potential for water power as well as the potential for exportation of goods on Roskilde Fjord. As part of the main concept of reframing the town we will bring out the qualities of the existing nature and water bodies. We want to emphasise the main canal routes, perhaps widen them and make the banks accessible for pedestrians – and we want the surrounding forest to be sucked into the town creating a gradual transition between dense urban and natural areas. To sum up the main concept is to frame the town creating a more dense and urban town centre, to emphasise the canal routes and the forest and letting these nature elements fade out and become more
natural as it reaches the fjord. The geometric frame functions as an element that stresses the most dense urban area as well as a gathering element between the Arresø, the forest, the canal, the town, the wetlands and the fjord.

Illustrative plan emphasizing the concept of the structure, existing and implemented nature.
The main tool in the concept of reframing Frederiksværk is a simple form and subtle strategies that provide an easy implementation of the project respecting the existing elements. By refraiming the urban stucture in Frederiksværk we aim on creating a connection between the highly separeted parts of the town. The frame that we introduced provides this main objective. The next step in our design proces involved the integration and clear communication between the new stucture and the excisting features of the site.
We approached a detailed configuraton of the elements that create the frame and synergy with its surroundings. By indicating where to apply hard and soft surfaces, water elements, paths, buildings, vegetation and trees we will proceed in giving substance to what the frame will look like and how it will connect to its context.
Five typologies
The frame structure consists of five different typologies creating different land- or townscapes within the frame providing various functions. The typologies reflect or contrast
the local surroundings creating correlation and synergy between old and new elements. We distinguish the following typologies within the frame; ’cultural centre’, ’retail and living’, ’natural bridge’, ’creative hub’ and ’discovering the forest’. The different typologies are physically distinguished by the density of the buildings, the present natural and man made structures and with nature and the amount of paved surfaces. Furthermore, by enhancing the site specific atmosphere, the parts will represent various experiences within the frame.

Next steps
Next week we will take advantage of the 1:1 studio on site; we need to study and design the inside of the frame regarding the existing historical yellow buildings, the woodland, the distinctive road and the course of the canal. Simultaneously we will develop the plant/ building succession concept in order to obtain a tool for easy implementation of the concept from day 1. At the same time we will define the five typologies further in order to create a good connection between them within the frame.

Illustrative plan emphasizing the concept of the structure, existing and implemented nature.
The focus of this week was to walk in our plan during the workshop on site, to test our ideas in an imaginary 1:1 scale and to be more detailed and precise about the different elements that create the typologies that were introduced last week.
Section 1 shows the specific atmosphere that can be experienced by following the path within the frame into the forest – the path emphasizes the connection with the nearby nature and the rest of the town. Section 2 shows us a subtle transi-
tion between a dense forest that provides various opportunities for activities and recreation and the parking lot belonging to the highschool. Section 3 shows the unique atmosphere of modern residential buildings in combination with cultural
heritage and old industrial buildings. Section 4 shows a part of the central square that connects to the main shopping street and other important cultural areas in Frederiksværk.

Visualisation of the corner of the frame structure looking towards south-west. A broad bridge creates a larger passage over the canal and creates a meeting point.
The frame concept that we have introduced is supposed to solve the problems that we have identified in Frederiksværk. This week we have been challenging our concept to be sure that it actually does make a difference to the site: PROBLEMS
AND SOLUTIONS
1. town areas can be seen as scattered islands
1. the frame leads through all parts and links them together
2. the different parts of town have poor accessibility
2. the frame opens up the physical urban structure to create acces to various areas
3. no clear centre
3. the frame highlights the cultural area around the Gjethouse and the church and create a new multifunctional main square
4. geographical issues
4. the frame links the surrounding nature with the town
5. demographic issues
5. the frame provides new living areas to attract a diverse spectrum of citizens
Next steps
Next week will go back to the start and show how we came to our concept. It is important to explain the specific design choices that we made in order to understand the proces. Another diagrammatic topic we would like to emphasize on is the proces of the project itself - i.e. how will the frame develop over a certain span of time. The next step will also be focused on obtaining a next level of detail in terms of materials and a recognizable consequent red thread through our project. A reconsideration of the points where the frame meets ´complicated´ areas, for instance the shoping centre and main roads; We might need to design those areas in a clompletely different style.

Concept diagram. The main concept of our project is the introduction of a conceptual frame that sometimes becomes strongly physical and recognisable and at other places appears as a gentle patch in the existing landscape. It mainly consists of green structures, buildings, surfaces and paths. The initial frame was a strong and closed shape, but the we exploded the frame to make it less radical and more subtile. Nevertheless, the shape still functions as a link between the existing scattered islands of the townscape in FrederiksvĂŚrk. The frame is divided into different parts that grab on to the existing urban context.
1. The creative corner: Old buildings and plantings Historical references Creative offices and entrepreneurs.
2. The recreational pass: The transition and entrance from urban to nature Area for recreation and leisure Strong relation with existing industrial buildings Access to the canal.
3. The cultural centre: Enhancing the existing atmosphere of historical buildings Emphasizing classical style and materials in the present buildings through subtle landscape interventions. Such as hedges, grass lawns, and tree clumbs.
4. Living in the forest: Modern and urban living area in strong connection to the surrounding forest. Attracts people to enter nature in a close distance from the towncentre Breaks the barrier between urban and nature.
