ANALYSIS PART 2

ABSTRACT

Through film-based design methods, this thesis aims to explore the reclaimed landscapse of Rødby Fjord. The thesis looks into the experiential potentials of the film camera and the affective action of filmmaking, emphasising the qualities of the modern landscapes of Rødby Fjord as well as the historical traces and deep structures of the former inlet.

The thesis offers an insight to the new coastal zone of Rødby Fjord facing Fehmarn Belt Waters though five filmic notations stating a sense of neglect and disorientation of the past inlet identity. Through a comparative study of orthophotos, onsite registrations and historical mappings of Rødby Fjord from 1889 the thesis unfolds traces of the former coastal zones from which a strategic proposal of a connected pathway through the historical and the present landscapes of Rødby Fjord evolves.

Using the film-based approach, the thesis aims to establish a visual human connection to the historical actions and identities ingrained in the landscape, in this way unfolding and enhancing sensuous aspects of the field of landscape architecture.
