House of Glass Year: 2011 Location: Jagtvej 69, Copenhagen Area: 1.125m2 Program: Pocket Park Course: Plan and Design Collaborator: Patricia Gil Gomes, UCPH Final grade: Passed History Jagtvej 69 holds a long and controversial history. A significant building hosted at first the Danish labour movement and later the main venue for Danish autonomous youngsters. The building was torn down followed by major riots and despair. Afterwards the site has been empty and vacant, ready for a new intervention. The locations is perfect for a pocket park. The area is a vivid commercial destination, combined with a soon-tocome subway station, creates the possibilities and demand. Elements A huge green vegetation wave will create the transition. The transition starts with a multi story green house facing the street. The inhabitants of the neighbourhood can use the green house to grown vegetables and such. In the other end of the site a low transparent green house will function as a outdoor furniture. Placed in the position with most sun during the day, the furniture preforms a unique experience. People will be able to soaking the sun while sitting just above vegetation. Between the major elements, a larger grass surface creates a calm buffer. The wall on the edge for the grass field is cover with an artificial waterfall. Design The facade towards the streets is a clear smooth surface, which blends in with the existing buildings. The opposite creates the transition. From a calm and strict facade, it changes to a more wild and playful. The strict and linear is replaced with sharp triangles finding their way to the ground. The triangular sharps is also use to create the furniture. The Green house

The crematorium should service most of southern Zealand. The cemetery was to make a possible end destination for many souls and sacred place for grief for the families. The design of the cemetery was assigned to relate to the surrounding landscape of forests. The vision was to create a forests cemetery with the feel and expressions of the larger forests cemetery of Stockholm. It was important not to create a place of sadness, but for hope and opportunities. Conceptually the design creates to dichotomies. 1. The natural and organic, 2. The human-made and strict. The natural and organic is expressed by the diverse and naturalistic forest parts. The human-made and strict clashes with the forest by introducing smaller walls oriented in the same direction, but not placed in any logic order.

Year: 2012 Location: Various Area: 0,5m2 Program: Urban Farming Course: Urban Ecosystems, UCPH Collaborator: Adam Roigart, UCPH, Annie Svensen Kimer, UCPH & Karl Tyrv채inen SLU Final grade: B
The movement of people from rural to urban settings – urbanization – is at present taking place at a historically unpreceded rate. More than half of the global population is now living in urban environments and more are yet to come. This has affected the climate resulting in loss of biodiversity in urban settings, decreased knowledge about food production, disconnected man from nature and increased the urban heat island effect. Bringing green materials back to the city could be a way to solve these problems. Inspired by two separate low-tech systems for minimizing the use of ground space; the window planter box and the clothesline hang-
ing between buildings, our intention is to create a system which takes both vertical and horizontal levels into account. Plants normally require access to soil in a sunny, accessible and protected spot. Since this is hard to find in the city the solution for the urban dweller has been to plant in a box, outside the window. Drying clothes requires an airy open space with room for lines to be put up and enough protection not to get them stolen. Since such a spot cannot be found in the city the solution has become to put up the lines between buildings outside the windows. What if we could combine the two of them, creating an alternative space for increasing biodiversity, decrease the urban heat island effect and provide
the enjoyment of growing your own food in an urban context. The box is yours and yours only. It is reached from the apartment alone and no one is deciding what to put in it, except for you. It can be transformed and change in different ways fitting every need. It can be used for strawberries, blueberries and grapes – carrots, potatoes and beet- roots. If needed it comes with a green house construction. It can be used for flowers and small bushes. Even birds and bees can get a home in the box. And any of these options can be mixed within one box. It’s completely your choice.
SAMPLING SUBURBIA Year: 2012-13 Location: Østbirk, Copenhagen Area: 100.000m2 Program: Suburban Redevelopment Course: Urbanism Studio, UCPH Collaborator: Janice Tung, Cornell University. Final grade: A
CONCEPT EXISTING
As one of the most representative site of urbanization of the 21st Century, the suburban landscape calls for reconsideration of the role and presence of suburbia as important urban peripheries. This project aims to propose urban design and landscape interventions for Østbirk, Copenhagen. In these years the city of Copenhagen experience a rapid growth in inhabitants. This fact calls for more housing, jobs, recreation etc. Inspired by the architectonic qualities of the existing urban & landscape grid, the proposed concept aims to interweave the urban fabric by extending and shifting the exiting grids. The new grid organizes, clarifies and celebrates the existing values of suburbia though its regularity, continuity and constant presence. Everything is as it was before but in a new untraditional mix. PROPOSED

Frederiks(net)værk
Year: 2013 Location: Frederiksværk Area: 400.000m2 Program: Landscape Planning Course: Landscape Planning, UCPH Collaborator: Camilla Bech UCPH, Alicja Koloszyc, UCPH & Sarah Oudenaarden, TUDelft Final grade: C Frederiksværk is a city located in northern Zealand between the Arresø-lake and the Roskilde Fjord and surrounded by tree covered hills. To form Frederiksværk to a city resilient for the current economical changes, new
housing and the creation of a strong urban landscape can enhance Frederiksværks beauty and make it a destination on its own. To distillate the beauty of Frederiksværk a guiding structure is needed to improve the experience of the landscape and history around the city taking into account these qualities and define the missing links. As an answer to this problem formulation an urban landscape network is designed for the city to connect identity landscapes reflecting the underlying landscape structure. The network connect every point of interest and creates new nodes and attractions. Areas without larger intererest is not dominated by the new identity makers, but they are still present as guides.

City and Boise to thrive recreationally, economically, and socially. A boardwalk along the river and lake-front encourages a the use of one of Boise’s greatest known traits: recreation. Higher density exists closer to the waterfront, as water-front properties are more marketable.
Perimeter Connections aims to create a physical and metaphorical connection between the 30th Street District and Garden City. Through means of strategically placed, permeable pedestrian pathways as well as a mix of dense and open urban spaces, each site provides its users with a safe connection to the surrounding areas of Boise and Garden City. The site programs involving green corridors, an extension of the Boise River, and an introduction of high-density urbanism allow people of both Garden
High density structures include mixed uses of housing, office space, and retail. A minimum of two green roofs exist on each block, enabling community involvement in urban agriculture. Bioswales act as a water catchment system, and exist within street medians and act as a divider between the street and sidewalk area. By utilizing Boise’s great qualities of recreation, culture, and ecology, Perimeter Connections creates two vibrant, dense areas, enabling users to work, reside, and recreate in a healthy area.

Street Oasis Year: 2013 Location: Bulöwsvej, Frederiksberg Area: 100m2 Program: Urban Garden Collaborators: Anne Louise de Neergaard, Jeppe Baden & Torben Roug
Street Oasis was design and created as a learning pavilion showing children the possibilities of urban farming in urban environments. Children common understanding of food production relies on the idyllic picture of endless agricultural fields. By showing them the possibilities of growing food in a courtyard/parking lot shows the perspective and possibilities of urban farming. Classes of 7th to 10th graders was invited to visit and learn
about the urban farming through hands-on experiences. The pupils could watch the plants grow and harvest the fruits and vegetables. The visit in the garden was a part of a educational program that aims to create awareness of challenges cities has to overcome in the years to come. The pupils was introduced to a series of possible solutions by walking to designated streets of Frederiksberg. By the end of the day they had to act like Landscape Architects and design their own solution proposals. Street Oasis was partly movable and could therefore be use at several occasions away for its origin. It was a part of the Science Festival “Forskningens Døgn” where children and adults was invited to learn more about urban farming and create their own simple window farm.
