PREFACE

FIRST BINDING The master thesis is assembled in a total of three bindings. This first binding contains our registration and analysis of the former Danish Crown Factory, located in Faaborg Harbour, as well as registration and analysis of Faaborg in general. Throughout this binding we will define our interpretation of the main challenges and possibilities within Faaborg. We will provide a historical overview of the town development with the harbour as a focal point to this. Different analysis gives a present picture of the current atmosphere within Faaborg and the project site itself. Additionally to this we interpret the physical environment and human flow for different users in the current situation.

ABSTRACT

This master thesis contributes with a suggestion to the transformation of the building structure and associated outdoor environment within a disused industrial site - Danish Crown located in the center of Faaborg Harbour on southern Funen. Furthermore it is elaborated how Faaborg as a town can increase itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to attract tourists to the Sydfynske Ă&#x2DC;havs region by integrating new values within the abandoned industrial site; establishing an unique venue to display the entire region in one location. The thesis touches upon the general challenges the Danish provincial towns have been affected by within the resent years caused by the introduction of various reforms within the public sector as well as the general tendency of larger companies relocating in larger metropolises or overseas. Accordingly to this the thesis provide with an suggestion of amending the unsustainable development; using Faaborg as an example of how the site specific qualities can by used as a remedy for changing the general focus towards a distinctive tourist destination. The design proposal illustrates the transformation of the site and how the site specific qualities can be altered or implemented in order to create a trademark that embrace and promote the Sydfynske Ă&#x2DC;hav, being an united region gathered in Faaborg Harbour.

INTRODUCTION 8

INTRODUCTION RELEVANCE OF THE ASSIGNMENT Within the last decades we have experienced some of the effects caused by the increasingly globalization of the world. Harbour areas with former industrial functions such as shipping are changing (Carlberg & Christensen 2005) as shipment of goods has been streamlined and centralized in fewer, but larger ports (Danske Havne 2008). The heavy harbour production industry has often been relocated as a result of streamlining or they have been shut down as a result of the increased global competition. In many harbour-cities it have resulted in empty and functionless industrial harbour areas, often located in close connection to the city centre (Danske Havne 2008). The solution has often been transformation, but in many cases the result has served as a source for an on-going debate and many former industrial harbour areas are among others criticised for often being standard development projects with luxury apartments, offices and shopping centres as its rootstock. (Diedrich 2013) In Faaborg on southern Funen the actuality of transforming a central placed former industrial harbour area are at itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest as Danish Crown, located on Faaborg Harbour, has moved all activity to England by the end of January 2016 and left a more than 3,5 hectare large industrial area with itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production facilities abandoned. Faaborg has as a consequence of the administrative centralization in Denmark, effectuated up through the 00s, experienced a high decrease in the amount of jobs. Faaborgs dependence on knowledge and experience economy is increasing and within the tourist attraction the functionality of the harbour becomes even more essential (DAC 2012, Realdania 2012). Since the expansion of the harbour with a newer marina in the western harbour part, the Danish Crown industrial area has had a location just in the middle of the harbour, dividing the harbour into two. The decision to relocated the Danish Crown food production offers the harbour of Faaborg the opportunity to unite the two harbour areas and thereby optimize the functionality of the harbour, while create an active which can contribute positively to the future Faaborg in the global competition.

AIM OF ASSIGNMENT This master thesis aims to come up with a design solution for how the Danish Crown industrial area can be transformed. Specifically this thesis are trying to answer how the industrial area can be included as part of the surrounding environment, while contributing to an improved and better connected harbour.

WORKING PROCESS

READING INSTRUCTION

With one of us (Rasmus) grown up in Faaborg we had from the beginning a basic local knowledge about the project area, the harbour site and its functions, the town and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation in general. This knowledge has been shared and discussed, while new knowledge has continuously through the process been added. Generally our approach has been by the use of Sven-Ingvar Andersons model of a spiral (spiralmodellen), meaning that we throughout the process have worked back and forth on different levels.

This master theis consist of 3 books:

In order to get a spatial understanding of the harbour site and its relation to the surrounding town we started out building a work model, which helped us in the process of narrow down the harbour's main problem. Further the model has been helpful in the process of creating a design concept. Beside municipal strategies and plans we have been analysing both current and historical maps and orthophotos. This contributes partly to an understanding of the strategical context Faaborg is a part of, as well as the challenges and opportunities Faaborg is facing, while at the same time given us an understanding of the historical layers that are integrated in the present project area. Through several site visits the understanding of the current functions, historical layers and spatial conditions has been improved. Further we have had the opportunity to experience the project facilities from inside through a guided tour by the former employee and union representative Jimmy Andersen, who gave us a comprehensive insight into the production methods and processes that has taken place throughout the years. Further the review of all buildings on the project site gave us a useful knowledge about the building terms and conditions, which we have used in the design process.

Part one - Analysis. Part two - Proposal. Part three - Process. The first binding consist of an introduction followed by several analysis of certain aspects concerning Faaborg. In this part the problem is identified and the analysis results in a preliminary conclusion answering the question: What do we think? The second binding contains our prosal elaborating on the question - What do we want to do? leading to our design strategy. The strategy are followed by the actual design proposal answersing the question - How do we want to do it? And are to be understood as the solution. Accordingly to the actual design proposal, a reflection and a perspective of the proposal are treated. The thrid binding is an figuratively composition, illustrating our working process throughout our master thesis.

LOCATION WHERE AND WHAT Faaborg is with it’s 6.376 citizens (FMK 2015) a smaller Danish town located in southern Funen in the administrative region Region Syddanmark. Faaborg is together with Ringe the main towns in the municipality Faaborg-Midtfyn who had a total amount of 50.885 inhabitants in 2015 (FMK 2015). Faaborg is geographically located 40 kilometres south of Odense the 3.th biggest city in Denmark. Through Odense the main train connection, connecting the western Denmark with Copenhagen is located. Similar the motorway E20 is running just south of Odense connecting the western and eastern Denmark as well. The infrastructure around Faaborg consist of primary roads, connecting Faaborg to Odense, respectively Svendborg, Assens and Nyborg. 10 kilometres west of Faaborg the ferry Bøjden-Fynshav are connecting Funen with Jutland. According to (Møller & Moltesen 2013) 10-15% of the inhabitants in Faaborg commute to Odense. In addition it must be assumed that some commute to Ringe as well, where the municipal administration of Faaborg-Midtfyn currently are to be found. The area that influence Faaborg are spreading far beyond the municipal boarder. From a waterway perspective Faaborg is located relatively close to the southern part of Jutland’s east coast including the bigger towns of Sønderborg, Åbenrå, Haderslev and Kolding, as well as relatively close to Germany and the north german cities of Kiel and Flensburg. Together with the archipelago of southern Funen, the location makes Faaborg an attractive holiday destination especially for the sailors in the south Danish and north German region.

SOUTHERN FUNEN Faaborg are together with Svendborg the two main towns and connections to the mainland for the islands in the archipelago of southern Funen. Both Faaborg and Svendborg have ferry connections to the respective islands in the area, and for both towns the close connection to the water and the islands has dominated the towns through time. Their difference in size and the benifitial infrastructure that are dominating Svendborg by being connected to Odense both by a motorway and a trainconnection means that Svendborg are having some advantages in relation to Faaborg when it comes to infrastructure over land. From a waterway perspective their similar location in proportion to the archipelago means that they are competitors when it comes to attract tourists within the experiential economy.

LOCAL CONDITIONS Faaborg is situated in the bottom of Faaborg fjord at the base of the nature areas Svanninge Bakker and Svanninge Bjerge, which as a partly forest covered mass are rising more than 125 metre above sealevel, few kilometres to the north of the town. On two sides, to the south and to the northeast the old market town are dominated by water as the lake Sundet are located on the northeastern town border. The well-preserved market town has its basis in the main street Østergade, and is dominated by longitudinal buildings. The red tiled roofed, 6 to 12 metres high building mass are, in Østergade and partly the parallel streets, organized in block structures, which since the Middle Ages had dominated the town profile of Faaborg. Within the highest point in the old market town the landmark of Faaborg - Klokketårnet (the bell tower) – dominates, and are with its height of 31 metres more than 2 and a half times taller than the highest buildings in the center of Faaborg.

The sloping terrain from the market town leads down to the harbour, where the former Danish Crown food production – the project site for this master thesis – is to be found. The harbour is undeniably an important part of Faaborg and it's different functions which beside the project site consist of a larger marina, shipyards, a fishing port, an industrial harbour, a ferry port and a harbour bath which collectively forming the harbour as a main attraction within the experience economy of Faaborg. The western and eastern part of Faaborg consists primarily of residential buildings, while the very northern part of Faaborg consist of an industrial area.

PROBLEMS CHALLENGES Faaborg are today facing a palette of challenges being a decrease in the amount of jobs, a negative development in the number of inhabitants together with a low birth rate and increasing public expenses (Eskildsen et al. 2014). Many young people are searching towards the bigger cities with high educational and cultural offers, and often they do not return after ended studies. The main reason for the challenges have root in the increasing globalization in combination with the effects of the different reforms introduced up through the 00s (DAC 2012), which beside a radically decrease in the amount of jobs has resulted in a globalized world where the single city or town itself, to a greater extend, are responsible for the future development (DAC 2012). By not being a town located in the circumference of a economically growth centre, Faaborg has to be creative in the race of finding a niche that can act as a catalyst in the national competition of attracting activity which can stimulate jobs and the inflow of residents. According to DAC (2012) it is no longer enough for a town to offer attractive housing prices and a safe community in order to attract newly educated families. The town has to be progressive in the increasing global competition, both when it comes to creating a activities which has to be unique for the local area and which at the same time can act as a brand for the town or local area (DAC 2012).

and experience the visitors get of the town. In other words it is highly important for Faaborg and its future development based on knowledge and experience economy that the harbour is attractive and well functioning in order to maintain and attract visiting tourists. Having the now former Danish Crown Factory located just in the middle of the harbour, has since the establishment of the newer marina in the western harbour part effected a differentiation of the harbour into two. The Danish Crown Factory site has for decades caused a stopper in the effort of creating a united harbour site and thereby an unexploited potential, in creating an attractive and united harbour site, which can contribute to the development of Faaborg through the experiential economy driven by tourists, are hidden in the now former Danish Crown Factory site. While functioning as a factory site, the purpose of the building mass of the Danish Crown factory area has, despite the creation of a plug for uniting the two harbour sites, been fulfilled through food production activities, which has contributed with daily activity. The loss of the activities in the former Danish Crown Factory facilities create the risk of a future scenario having a 3500 square metre large site located in the middle of the main tourist attraction in Faaborg, which potentially will not only represent a eyesore for the locals, but will potentially threaten the tourism influx and brand of Faaborg and thereby the future economical development.

Within the strategic planning field the assumption of using the place related qualities, as a catalyst for economical growth had according to DAC & NST (2013) been widespread. It points to the fact that attracting the â&#x20AC;&#x153;creative classâ&#x20AC;?, which by many municipalities are perceived as the goal for their inflow of residence strategy, are hard to affect in their choice of settling down, as they navigates according to career opportunities rather than according to place related qualities (DAC & NST). Instead it is recommended to focus on tourism and double settlement as drivers for development. The transformation of Faaborg from a local administrative centre with a relatively high amount of jobs within the public sector to a tourist driven town has, as mentioned, been going on for some years. In this context Faaborgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location in the archipelago of southern Funen and thereby the harbour site, being the gate for entering the archipelago, are of great importance within the field of experience economy. A survey made by the consulting company COWI, where a wide range of tourists visiting Faaborg was interviewed, underpin this assumption as close to 100% of the interviewed tourists states that the harbour are of crucial importance for Faaborg as a tourist destination (COWI 2008). The harbour hold a wide range of activities related to the waterscape, which in combination with the close relation to the market town makes the harbour site the main attraction for Faaborg. Further the harbour is the primary arrival area for tourists, both when it comes to tourists visiting Faaborg by boat, by car and busses or by bicycles and is therefore the first impression

PROGRAM OPPORTUNITIES

VISION

The decision to relocate the Danish Crown production facilities can be perceived in two different ways. On one hand it affects Faaborg in a negative direction, as losing even more jobs has become a reality including the effects on the local community involved in the food production. On the other hand it offers Faaborg the opportunity to transform an attractive and important central located area and simultaneously create a more coherent and well functioning harbour in order to stimulate the experience economy and thereby the future development of Faaborg.

The vision with this master thesis is to transform the former Danish Crown factory site into a future lighthouse for the tourism industry gathering and promoting the place related qualities which can be acchieved in the Sydfynske Ă&#x2DC;hav including the old market town of Faaborg. By implementing new inviting and transparant facilities framing the historical layers of the harbour site while holding the capacity to accommodate new feature in term of a cooperative community, it is the intention to create a 'tourism epicenter' which can act as a catalyst in the dissemination of general awareness of Faaborg and the Sydfynske Ă&#x2DC;hav and thereby contribute to the development of Faaborg.

But how do we transform in a way that support the experience economy? What is important to be aware of and what is needed? The tourism industry in the archipelago of southern Funen has in the last few experienced stagnation. Accordingly a report elaborated for the Videnscenter for Kystturisme (KvistgaardConsulting 2014) the area is characterised by an unexploited potential within the tourism economy but there is a need to activate the potential. The report points on factors as improved urban environments in the main towns with the archipelago together in combination with a clear and differentiated profile, which states the possible offers that can be achieved within the area.

The site should hold a high variation of functions stimulating social activities and experiences in order to embraze a broader amount of different users. Further it is the intention to create facilities for different actor which can contribute in the authentic experience one can get by visiting the site. Simultaneously it is an overall vision to create a more coherent harbour through a design based on a more natural flow and while creating improved and more clear connections to the surrounding.

PURPOSE The fundamental problem of this masterthesis can be divided into two. One is the overall and more general problem Faaborg are facing with the decreasing amount of jobs, people vacating, increasing expences etc. The second is the problem constituted by the actual site - the former Danish Crown factory site - who has lost it's former purpose and potentially threats the functionality of the main tourist attraction being the harbour site. With the mentioned fundamental problems in mind, the purpose of this master thesis is to create a design proposal based on a transformation of the current Danish Crown factory site, taking into account the hidden potential imbedded in the central located project site.

METHODS

The Historical development of Faaborg harbour is visible in today’s visual composure. Certain structures and functions is still physical present within the harbour and town as relics of the past in terms of the market town, Klokketårnet, fishing sheds etc, all contributing to the current identity and atmosphere; Danish Crown factory being one of the most striking one - not for it’s aesthetical appearance - but due to the large physical scale it’s hard to go unnoticed. Our intension with this master thesis is to contribute with our suggestion to transform the empty factory site into a place for Faaborg to express their uniqueness towards the world. The word transform means “to alter or be altered radically in form, function, etc” or “convert to another form” (Collins English Dictionary, 2014) which in relation to the word uniqueness being something to “admire because they are very unusual and special” (Collins English Dictionary, 2014) has serves as a guideline for our design process in order to change the current values.

(Burns & Kahn 2005). The effect deflected by different design intentions has in this master thesis influenced the process of selecting different function to be integrated in the design. In the process of transforming the former factory site the qualities embedded in the historical layers have emerged by the use of the strategy formulated by the French planner and architect Alexandre Chemetoff.. Chemetoff (2009) states the importance of paying attention to existing qualities when transforming a project site by questioning the degree of transforming. By the use of Chemetoff’s strategy the existing condition influence the process of renewal a site through transformation by forcing the design to be based on existing qualities. By the use of Chemetoff strategy the fundamental basis of the project site has been identified structuring the further design.

The Long Tail theory by the British-American entrepreneur Chris Anderson describes how the demand of niche products has increased within the recent years among others caused by the postmodern societies increasing mass production (KvistgaardConsulting 2013). The theory states that a general tendency among consumers to search for tailored products including tourist related products and experiences has been identified. Therefore a focus on authentic, original and differentiated niche products, unique in its appearance is highly recommended (KvistgaardConsulting 2013). This assumption is highly relevant to take into consideration while identifying the future values and as a way to differentiate as a town in order to establish a greater recognition being a tourist destination. This notion corresponds with the thoughts by the American strategic planner Andrea Kahn in order to grasp the entire context and how a changed value can influence the surrounding environment. Kahn operates with the assumption that when analysing a site, the understanding of a site cannot be obtained only by investigating the physical conditions but the context of a site’s connection has to be interpreted (Burns & Kahn 2005). Contributing with a greater knowledge of the overall context in relation to understand and activate the full potential in term of the favourable location within the archipelago Faaborg possess. Kahn defines three area of a project site to study over time being the area of control that should be perceived as the project site itself delimited by it’s property lines in which the designer can act. From the point of time actions takes place within the area of control a lot of forces being the context of a project site’s connections are influencing the project site. All these forces are defined as the area of influence (Burns & Kahn 2005). In our analysis the defined influencing forces has functioned as the delimitation in the process of selecting what to investigate. In the moment the design of a site reaches it’s intended ideas the project site has changed and thereby the project site starts to influence the surrounding context being the area of effect

HISTORICALREVIEW 26

TOWN ESTABLISHMENT THE FOUNDING OF FAABORG Faaborg is believed to be established around 1100, but are mentioned for the first time in 1229. At the time of the establishment, the land around the town centre was a peninsula surrounded by water, and the harbour was at that time placed to the northeast of the town centre where the lake ‘Sundet’ today are to be found (Egevang & Nielsen 1994). A moat was surrounding the town, which also was provided with three town gates and a church placed in connection to the current landmark of the town – the bell tower (Klokketårnet). Klokketårnet wasn’t build until around 1475, and had only some decades together with the middle age church, which was taken down after the reformation (Egevang & Nielsen 1994). The few hundreds inhabitants which are believed to have been living in Faaborg in the middle ages has supported themselves by fisheries, crafts and agriculture. Later the trade became important and was the reason for that Faaborg got it's status as a market town. Especially the export of corn to the northern Germany is mentioned as a significant reason for the development. After the reformation and up through the 1600s Faaborg develops slowly especially caused by involvement in different wars and because of illegal commerce. Three town fires in the beginning of the 1700s contributed further to the stagnation (Egevang & Nielsen 1994).

THE PEAK - MID 1700S Up through the 1700s a recovery took place driven by few but clever local merchants, and the position as a significant shipping town became a reality for Faaborg being the 5th largest shipping town in Denmark in 1757. Especially cargo shipping to the Mediterranean enriched Faaborgs merchants and the recovering resulted in a relocation of the harbour to the end of Strandgade (DCFB 2016).

THE JETTY Until the end of the 1600s the original coastline running along the current Havnegade was dividing the town from the sea by a narrow beach. Around 1670 a small jetty was established at the end of Strandgade where the restaurant called ´Pakhuset´ today are located. Along with the recovery the jetty was expanded and in the mid 1700s a pier together with a quay replaced the jetty. Thereby the basis for the current harbour situation was a reality (Egevang & Nielsen 1994).

HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT TOWN GROWTH - 1800S Up through the 1800s Faaborg was dominated by a considerable immigration and together with a high birth rate the number of inhabitants was by 1880 increased to 3476 (Egevang & Nielsen 1994). The intense growth of inhabitants resulted in a physical need of space and new districts outside the town gates emerged. Faaborg was around 1850 influenced by the industrialisation and parallel to the new residence districts industries were established, often in close connection to the town (Egevang & Nielsen 1994).

THE RAILWAY Like in the 1700s local energetic grocers were visionary and tried to utilize Faaborgs potential to become a transportation node for cargo from Funen and Sealand to Germany. The vision was based on new German railway connections from the central Germany to Kiel and Lübeck, and their idea was a train ferry connection between Faaborg and Kiel or Lübeck. The only thing needed was a railway from Odense to Faaborg. The local forces did not succeed with their project of connecting Faaborg with Odense, and by the establishment of a railway between Faaborg and Ringe 30 years later, in the 1880s, it was too late (Egevang & Nielsen 1994). Odense and Svendborg, which had had their railway connections earlier, attracted much of the industry and commerce and the great benefit of a railway connection failed to appear for Faaborg (Egevang & Nielsen).

1842-99 Faaborg in the 2. half of the 1800s. At that time the town was in the middle of a radically growth as the number of inhabitants increast from 1000 to 4000 during the 19.th century.

1901-51 This map is showing the situation in Faaborg before the recovery and the widespread construction of single family houses in the 1960s and 1970s. It is clear that Faaborg, within the period has grown radically along the coastal line as well as along the infrastructure in beginning of the 1900s.

THE 1900S – FIRST HALF Despite the late railway, industries was established in the late 1800s and beginning of the 20th century. The new industries influenced the appearance of especially the town’s waterfront. During the late 1800s the harbour, which has its basis in the pervious described jetty at the end of Strandgade, had grown by landfilling and some of the new industries has been established on the waterfront. The growth in the amount of residence building mass, which was concentrated along Svendborgvej to the east of the town and to the west and northwest along Vestergade and Nørregade, contributed to a change in the general appearance of Faaborg as well (Egevang & Nielsen 1994).

1971-76 The situation in Faaborg in the 1970s. A lot of parcel houses is now to be found, both in the western and eastern end of the town.

THE 1900S – SECOND HALF Until the 1940s the industries had been established with or in close connection to the town centre area, but during the 1940s an increasing need of space started. In the 1960s the first companies was established in a new industrial area to the north of the town centre (Egevang & Nielsen 1994). Since the 1970s Faaborg has experience stagnation in the industry and like the rest of Denmark a lot of jobs have moved towards the service sector. This is among other illustrated by the establishment of 2 large hotels in the eastern part of the town. A large amount of parcel houses was established in the 1960s and specially 1970s in both the eastern and especially western part of the town.

1980-2001 Faaborg in the mid 1990s just before the contruction of the bypass road, whcih today are located between the market town and the lake Sundet. Within the period parcel houses has been added in the western part of the town.

FROM BEACH TO HARBOUR

A SPRIGHTLY AREA As mentioned the basis for the current harbour was born by the establishment of the pier and a quay, which replaced the old jetty around 1750. Up through the 1800s the harbour was expanded and replaced the former coastline running along the current Havnegade. The area from the current Værftvej and approximately 75 meters to the west was landfilled in the mid 1800s and the oldest parts of Danish Crowns facilities were established (Egevang & Nielsen 1994, GST 2016). A pier perpendicular to the current Værftvej had been established in the 1820s - creating an actual, but primitive harbour (GST 2016). Up through the second half of the 1800s the newly landfilled area, in the western harbour part was beside a slaughterhouse - forming the basis of the now former Danish Crown factory - dominated by two shipyards. Dyreborgs shipyard was the first shipyard established in the 1840s and got company in 1868 by Møllers shipyard, which was located to the south east of the slaughterhouse with slipsway running into the harbour basin (Henningsen 1959, Jørgensen 1959). The two shipyards was fusioned in the 1880s and before 1914 Carl Jolle's shipyard, a third and well known shipyard, was established in the western end of the landfilled area - seen in the foreground of the image (Svendborg Kommune et al. 2011). The coastline to the east of the harbour was landfilled, in connection with the establishment of the railway the 1880s. On the new area, Faaborg trainstation was established together with switching tracks. A new railway line connecting Faaborg with Odense was added in 1906. The new line was running along the harbour quay on Havnegade and was, beside person transportation, used for cargo transportation by the co-operative slaughterhouse, which was the biggest in the area and received pigs from the islands as well. In 1907 new large piers to the south of the existing ones were established creating an outer harbour and expanded the harbour radically (Svendborg Kommune et al. 2011). The new eastern outer harbour quay was used for coal storage and gave name to the coal quay, which the quay in between locals is still called today (Svendborg Kommune et al. 2011). In 1922 the landfilled area between the harbour and the train station was expanded and a ferry terminal for trains, connecting Faaborg with Mommark on Als in southern Jutland was established (Svendborg Kommune et al. 2011). Together with the ferry connections to the islands in the archipelago Faaborg became an important ferry town from the 1920s. The fishing, which since the medieval times had been a smaller part of the everyday in Faaborg, has for some decades been a dominating factor on the harbour side. The fishing experienced it's heydays in the end of the 1800s and beginning of 1900s where 140 boats were registered (Blomberg 1956). The progress for the fishing was driven by herring fishing and the german cities of Kiel and Eckernförde were major buyers of the herrings, which were smoked in the established smokehouse located next to the current Havnegade (Blomberg 1956). Faaborg in the 1950s (KB 2016).

The situation in Faaborg in the 1950s. A coasters are shipping in material for creating asphalt and concrete. MĂ¸llers yard and Carl Jolle's yard are still located in each end of the western harbour area. To the very right in the picture the DFDS ware house are to be found (Svensborg et al. 2011).

(KB 2016)

HARBOUR EXPANSION INDUSTRIAL FOOTPRINTS In the 1950s and 1960s the new coasters that in the 1930s had replaced the sailing ships were dominating the harbour. Warehouses had been established; raw material companies and new ferry routes had arrived in the 1950s (Svendborg Kommune et al. 2011). In the 1960s the slaughterhouse expanded to the south, and Møllers shipyard moved to its current location, in the southern part of the landfilled area, and the name was changes to Faaborg Både- og Skibsbyggeri (FBoM 2016). Other companies located on the landfilled area, among others the steel-processing company Agos was moved the northern side of Havnegade in order create space for the expansion of the slaughterhouse (Svendborg Kommune et al. 2011). In the western end of the landfilled area Carl Jolle’s yard was still to be found in the late 1960s, and the current sailing club has been established on the wide beach to the northwest of Carl Jolle’s yard. In 1970 a landfilled isthmus to the west, where Faaborg Yacht yard was established, expanded the harbour. Few years later the area between the isthmus and the original coastline was landfilled. By the landfilling Carl Jolle’s yard was moved and the slaughterhouse expanded once again by establishing the current Tulip building (Svendborg Kommune et al. 2011). In 1977 the new marina to the west of the harbour was opened and has since 1977 been expanded twice (Svendborg Kommune et al. 2011).

HARBOUR MOVEMENT FUNCTION FLOW

The function flow in 1954 are characterised by the the many smaller buildings containing the different companies in terms of the slaughterhouse, shipsyards and fishing facilities in the western harbour part. The eastern harbour part are dominated by the flow to the ware houses, the ferry connections and by the train tracks.

1954

In 1999 the flow in the western harbour part are dominated by the presence of the Danish Crown building mass. The eastern harbour part are dominated by the Germany ferry connecting Faaborg with Gelting, together with the ferries connecting Faaborg with the islands.

1999

Today the flow situation in the western part of the area are still dominated by the Danish Crown facilities. In the eastern part the establishment of the canal and the residence buildings has changed the flow, which are now having the same start and ending point in the eastern harbour part.

MAIN ACTIVE ZONES MARKET TOWN Within Faaborg three major active zones can be indentified. The market town zone and the primary harbour zone are servicing both locals and visitors, while the northern center zone - having it's basis in Herregårdscenteret - are primarily servicing the locals and are therefore not further interpreted within this master thesis. The market town zone having it's basis in the main street Østergade, the town square in combination with Mellemgade [see map on page 50] are characterised by an annual activity - primarily due to the presence of different shops and service functions within the area - however more distinct during the summer period. The medieval structure contribute with a intimate atmosphere which in particular can be experienced in the - to Østergade - adjacent streets. The town square are often forming the basis for different smaller events and in combination with the presence of resturants offering outdoor serving the town square are in periods dominated by larger gatherings contributing positively with a significant atmosphere.

Accordingly several culture-historical functions including the landmark of Faaborg - Klokketårnet - and Faaborg Museum, well known for it's architectural expression designed by the danish architect Carl Petersen enhances the encouragement for visiting the location.

Bøjestræde // The street adjacent to Østergade is an example of the wellpreserved town center of Faaborg, being a tourist attraction itself. Klokketårnet being the landmark of Faaborg is seen in the background.

Town square // The gathering point within Faaborg. Underneath the Quercus (oak), the bronze sculpture Ymerbrønden, a present from the founder of Faaborg Museum; Mads Rasmussen, can be found.

Faaborg Museum // The building drawn by Carl Petersen are constructed in 1912 is a well known exampel of new classicism. The museum are to be found in Østergade's eastern end, thereby ending the main street.

ARRIVAL POINTS MARKET TOWN Arrival points are in genrel strategically important when meeting a place. The arrival points represent a centrale parametre when it comes to inviting people in as well as it is central in the field of encouraging people to move arround and be seated. Today Faaborg are, except from the area at the end of Strandgade, characterised by vague and diffuse arrival points, when arriving by car, primarily caused by the fact that the visitors are led towards the harbour region along Havnegade, but without having a clear indication or guidence of how to reach the market town. Exceptions are when meeting the market town comming along Vestergade as one meet the old town gate symbolic in it's function of indicating the start of the market town. The other exception is when entering the town from Mellemgade, but these arrival points are not located strategically in terms of meeting the town as a visitor.

TOPOGRAPHY VISUAL EXPRESSION A notable characteristic of Faaborg are beside the well preserved medieval structured town center, the landscape being both the location by the sea and the terrain forming the isthmus on which the town are located and contributing with the visual effect of the town raising behind the harbour when experienced from the sea. With KlokketĂĽrnet placed on the highest point within the market town, the terrain slopes dramatically towards the flat artificial conformation dominating larger parts of the harbour site. The terrain is in particular experienced in Strandgade where the narrow street sequence emphazise the physical interpritation of the spatial composition and thereby enhance the visual aspect of the topography. Comparable is the street Holkegade which however is less dramatically due to the fact of a more tortuous street sequence. Within JomfrulĂĽgen leading to the station area located in the eastern harbour region topography is noticeable aswell.

Along Chr. d. IX's vej the flat artificial terrain creates a contrast to the steep streets leading to the old market town positioned parpendicular to Chr. d. IX's vej.

The taller building structure situated in the transition zone between harbour and town along Chr. d. IX's vej constitute the town facede today.

Few places along Chr. d. IX 'svej the ancient towngarden are present in terms of private properties; illustrating the topography within the town.

MAIN ACTIVE ZONES PRIMARY HARBOUR The primary harbour zone are having it's basis in the public space embracing the resturant Pakhuset. The public space has been the focal point in a renewal conducted within the past 10 years. The ferry port secure a connecting within the Sydfynske Ă&#x2DC;hav and Faaborg creating a annually flow inbetween the islands and the mainland affecting the activity in primary harbour zone. The close connection between market town and harbour create a significant atmosphere within the primary harbour zone attract, during the summer period, large amounts sailors. In the periphery of the zone the newly established harbour bath, located at the opening of the canal, attracts visitors and users extending the active zone further towards the east.

ARRIVAL POINTS MEETING THE HARBOUR As mentioned visitors arriving Faaborg by car are led towards the harbour region; therefore several of the harbour region arrival points are identical with the arrival points of the market town. Meeting the harbour from a western direction the massive building mass formed by the Danish Crown factory are blocking the water contact. Towards Havnegade the adjacent street Lillestrad approaching the new marina site are easily neglected and the water contact will only by partly achieved - if arriving by car - from the ponit when Vestkajen meets Havnegade due to the locality a parking zone along Havnegade. The promenade along Havnegade functions well for pedestrians, but the arrival point at Havnegade/ Vesjkajen are diffuse.

Meeting the harbour from a eastern direction arriving along Chr. d. IX's vej the water contact is weak due to a parking zone and a newer building mass established in connection to the mentioned renewal of the primary harbour. Therefore one do not archieve the visual contact with the water when arriving by car before meeting the public space at the end of Strandgade. A lack of inviting compositions and vague visual orientation, are except from the public space at the end of Strandgade, common to the arrival points of the harbour area.

PROJECT SITE EXTERNALLY EXPRESSION

EMPTY SHELL

In the Faaborg Harbour the former industrial functions appear as a striking element within a prominent location right in the center of the harbour. The visual expression towards the surrounding clearly marks the present use as an industrialized area within region. The massive building volume possess a large amount of the property leaving a small extent of open space in between. The raw appearance is enhanced by the materials primarily consisting of bricks, iron and asphalt as well as the inaccessible access due to fact that it still fenced off for public interaction.

The abandoned industrial structure provides with an ideal situation in transforming the empty shell and establishing a new value within [see interior expression pp. 68]. Certain structure contribute to the association of the former glory days as an important and essential part of the industrial hub within Faaborg. The empty shell attributing to the story of a former pivot point in the harbour region and now providing the chapter of today's efficiency and outsourcing of industrial production as well as basic know-how.

THE BUILDING COMPOSITION The building composition consist of a vast aspect of assembled building blocks constructed over a long period of time. Certain structural elements dates back to the establishment of the area as an industrial site other are heavily renovated or replaced within the past hundred years. Forming a significance and complex composition of buildings with several separate expressions. The latest implemented buildings are also the larges ones and therefore the most striking and notable within the industrial site.

PLACEMENT IN RELATION TO THE TOWN The placement of the industrial structures in relation to the town is illustrated through the sections on this and the following page, Illustrating how the massive volume of the industrial factory buildings is a striking contrast to the adjacent medieval town structure. It's noticeable how the industrial site meets the town structure placed within the original topography; creating a certain separation in between the two.

ANALYSIS 76

WHAT WE THINK

Disconnection between harbour and town

Incoherent harbour - missing link between old and new harbour

Larger scale that differs from the rest of the town; isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a negative thing but can provide with new experiences within the town.

The old slaughter ground is highlighting the historical importance of its presence for the town build up

The area need to cater for different user groups; right now its mainly focused around sailors

The site consist of a vast amount of buildings; provide with the opportunity to create new interior activities and social experiences

SEASONAL CHANGE DIVERSITY BETWEEN HABOUR FUNCTIONS The different functions within a harbour site affected by the seasonal impact. This also applies to Faaborg where certain areas within the harbour isn't in use during the winter season. This affect the way the harbour functioning creating diversity of the human flow between summer and winter. This difference within the season is illustrated on the adjacent page clarifying the different functions by comparing a summer and a winter situation for Faaborg Harbour. Specific functions such as sailing club, ferry- and fishing port represents a certain amount activity during the winter period. The main activity is thereby mainly located within the primary harbour in close relation to the market town except for the sailing club. During the summer period the marina contains a vast amount of people partly consisting of tourist visiting as well as proving the local or neighboring people with a berth for their boats. Meaning the western part of the harbour is highly active in this period of the season but due to the remote location there's hardly any relation to the primary harbour and the market town.

Winter situation // illustrating the functions active during the winter period, partly situated in relation to the primary harbour.

LOCATION WITHIN THE HARBOUR SCATTERED FUNCTIONS The different kind of activities and functions within Faaborg Harbour is illustrated in the diagram on the adjacent page. The location Slagterigrunden - the former Danish Crown Factory has due to its long presence been surrounded by other functions during time. Meaning both social facilities and associations as well as industry has been constructed around the factory. The current composition of the factory buildings is - as mentioned - caused by several expansions during time in order to accommodate the demands of the production capacity. This evolvement has established a massive building volume right in the middle of of the harbour. The buildings differ noticeably from the surrounding environment primarily consisting of the medieval structure within town. The town's visual expression consists of a much smaller scale with tortuous passages affecting the wider visual perspective by decreasing the ability to see very far ahead; generating a more interesting and alluring spacial orientation. Contrary the Factory site with it's straight lines and perpendicular angles doesn't leave much to the imagination and display everything first hand [see illustration pp. 83].

Spacial composition // This diagram illustrate how the primary harbour site in relation to the market are distinguished compared to area containing Slagterigrunden.

SCALES EXISTING SCALES In order to achieve a better understanding of Faaborgs general expression and spatial composition further analysis of various public environment have been contrived. By studying the different scale within the public spaces in Faaborg we gather a broader understanding of the existing spatial formation within the harbour and town. Correspondingly it provide with the prospect of selecting which scale the transformation of the factory site should encounter.

Small scale

An example on a medium scale can be located within the market town in relation to the town square. As mentioned earlier the town square establish a great venue within the medieval town. The scale is able accommodate room for a vast aspect of social activities being an open space within the densely structured surrounding environment. The section illustrate the variation in the different spatial compositions within town focusing on the town square and the adjacent narrow streets.

The large scale is to be found in close relation to the project site. The industrial functions within harbour require a certain amount of space to obtain their respective functions making the area appear as a large scale. The aesthetical expression of the industrial area are characterized by the physical functions of the building and differ noticeably from the surrounding environment. The section illustrate the massive volume of the industrial structure in relation to the visual correspondence between the Danish Crown factory buildings and the adjacent shipyard.

USERS PATTERN HUMAN FLOW In order to grasp the overall movement pattern of the various users within the area and their preferred locations a broad analysis of the users have provided with informations of the human integration within the site. The analysis interpret different user groups differentiated by visitors, local population and age. It contributes to the understanding of the different users preferred facilities and the moment of usage based on a monthly distribution of the different localities within the entire harbour region. As illustrated in the diagram the several social functions and facilities are pinpointed towards the different user groups and their connection in between. The overall movement pattern expose how the general movement is located in close relation to the town square as well as the primary harbour. Accordingly to this the general movement in relation to the project site is located in an around-going motion due to the fact that there's no room for moving through the area because of the building mass creating a plug in-between. Individually the different movement pattern of the separate user groups indicates which particular users that utilize various opportunities [illustrated pp. 93-96]. Through the analysis it appears that the western part of the harbour mainly is used by sailors within the marina and sailing club. Furthermore it can be interpreted that the local youth population barely is present within the harbour.

PRELIMINARY CONCLUSION

Until the recent decision of moving the entire production to England the factory site contributed with daily activity and function within the harbor. The current situation's abandoned factory site constitute a large gap between the harbours existing functions. Causing the harbour to appear dysfunctional in terms of providing the users with a natural and logical orientation between the different social facilities.

Diconnected flow // due to the location of the factory site within the harbour there's partly any functioning connecting in between the marina and the town. The current flow originating from the town extending into the primary part and is currently ending at when encountering the factory site.

Incoherent flow // due to a certain amount of necessary flow in between the marina and primary harbour the current flow is forced in a motion going around the building structure; creating a plug blocking for the flow in between.
