Introduc
tion
The Program The course ‘Architecture’s Anatomy and Fabrication’ (AAF) is a six semester Bachelor program at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture. The course follows an ideology of architecture as a framework for ways of living, and that ways of living create traces found in architecture. There is a mutual but complex relationship between these notions, in which students of architecture are often unconsciously stimulated and driven by. In confrontation with the study of architecture, a phenomenological experience must be qualified and cultivated conceptually, and consequently made operational through production. To fabricate architecture that promotes the best living conditions, one must constantly study, dissect, reconstruct and improve its many components and forms of expression – its anatomy.
This BA program revolves around three focal points.
1: Critical Reflection A crucial ideology fostered within the course is in the committed focus for students to create and nurture an informed point of view. To achieve this, one must understand architectural theory and history in depth. One must constantly be in dialogue with elements that are more enlightened and experienced than one’s self. The tools and forms of representation are not neutral – they influence the project profoundly. The inherent conventions and characteristics of representation must be acquired, challenged and developed in the studio, workshop and auditorium. It is through this methodology of creation and in the act of making, that architecture becomes open to new discoveries.

2: Tectonics and Case Studies
3: Context and Forms of Life
There is a direct relationship between the way an architectural project is conceived, the way it will be built and its viability. Students explore and create tectonic principles and their mutual metamorphosis through work with specific materials. The study of both existing and unrealised projects represent a central platform regarding both didactic methods and research questions. The course focuses on a multitude of diverse aspects - from forms of life, spatial features, hierarchies and relationships, parts of the whole, components of structures, proportions, cladding materials to details. The results are mapped and represented as a means to capture the buildings anatomy, atmosphere and cohesiveness. This working method contributes to a common archive, ‘wunderkammer’ and frame of reference, but is primarily intended to gradually establish an architectural hierarchy and language in order for students to form an individual architectural standpoint from an informed basis.
An important parameter within the course is in the mapping of empathy and engagement as a defining parameter within a context. How does the user perceive this structure? What are our intentions? What spatial potentials are facilitated through this method, in speculation of future opportunities and ways of life? The complexity of the ordinary is unpacked in depth to avoid unnecessary complication or confusion. Is the answer condensation or transformation? What is the economy of the project within a broad perspective and how fast a metabolism are we dealing with? Drawing upon knowledge beyond individual experiences and horizons, the ability for cities and buildings to house and absorb alternating programs is identified and challenged.
The assignments are consistently based on specific study sites and as a result, students are faced early on with real architectural issues, which are identified, scaled and deployed spatially. Knowledge of materials and building elements are embedded in the tasks and acquired gradually; staircase, door, window, foundation, pillar, roof, facade, wall, deck, floor, ceiling, installations, mechanics, profiles, brackets, etc. This book seeks to unfold the events that took place during the 4th semester within 2nd year of the Bachelor program at IBT, from mid-March to the end of June 2015. The ambition is to give an insight into the way we attempt to qualify the above mentioned three focal points and their integration into the daily teaching and research practice.
In August 2014, KADK began a new curriculum
Within this new structure, the Bachelor program ‘Architecture’s Anatomy & Fabrication’ is focused around six different subject fields, one for each semester.
1st semester Architecture and Settlement 2nd semester Architecture and Organisation 3rd semester Architecture and Materials 4th semester Architecture and Aesthetics 5th semester Architecture and Practices 6th semester Architecture and Project
The learning goals according to the curriculum for the 4th semester are: # Knowledge and understanding of aesthetic paradigms, alongside their relevance and development within architectural history, theory and practice. Knowledge on the aesthetic and the sensuous as the basis for recognition. # Skills in analogue and digital sketching, drawing, shadow and light, alongside analogue and digital 3D modeling and the use of digital programs for advanced image processing and rendering. # Competencies in the handling of aesthetic investigations, programs and proposals in relation to architectural work production.

The brief with specific content description for the 4th semester at Architecture’s Anatomy & Fabrication according to the teaching plan is:
1: Case Study
2: Semester Assignment
3: Study Trip
- Thresholds Based on dissection of residential architectural thresholds between public and private, the spatial relations between zones are examined.
– The House in the City / The City in the House With ‘Housing’ being the overall programmatic framework, each student develops a program through which spatial intervals and tectonic relations are studied simultaneously at different scales. Concepts such as the complexity of the ordinary, the ugly and the beautiful, the familiar and the unknown, the public and the private, accessibility, density and daylight, skeleton, body and cladding are explored. Building anatomy such as deck, wall, facade, montage and installations also play a role.
– Housing and Daylight In light of the specialised interests that the assignment identifies, the study is focused around the relationship between the city and the human body, as well as the building stock as a mass versus light.
The 4 th Semester - a Double Program Karsten Gori, Anders Krogdal Nielsen and Nini Leimand
The 4th semester is based upon the invitation to visit an internationally practicing architect or architect office, somewhere in the world, whose work stands out with a spatial strength and appears to be in a dialogue with the program ‘Architecture’s Anatomy and Fabrication’. The inspiration for this double program is a similar process to the collaboration between the Spanish architectural office Flores Prats, studio LETH & GORI and Department 2 at KADK, which took place during the school year 2013/2014. This year we contacted the Belgian architectural office De Vylder Vinck Taillieu (DVVT) and we cannot thank them enough for accepting our invitation! Our first introduction to the work of Jan de Vylder was in a lecture he gave in 2009. The theme of the lecture series was
‘Dwelling Space’, developed by architect and PhD student Stine Henckel Schultz. What made a profound impression on us was Jan de Vylder’s drawings made with a BIG blue pencil! There is a headstrong connection between the way DVVT construct drawings, the way their buildings are constructed and the atmosphere that is embedded in the constructed spaces. With students acting as research assistants, we attempted to unfold the nature between these connections. The semester began with an individual case study and constructed drawings of the students homes, focusing on its relationship to common or public spaces such as the hallway and the front door to the city. In preparation for the collaboration with DVVT, the students emulated the fascinating drawing techniques and forms of representation that this
Architecture’s Anatomy & Fabrication / Page 10 – 11
studio has developed over the years. This resulted in a collection of drawings that were informed by the uttermost private spaces of an individual and yet constructed through the technique of another. The objective of this double program is to allow for a simultaneous ‘transport’ of DVVT’s physical and realised projects through a study trip, along with a mental ‘transport’, which entails an exchange of views and ideas developed within an architectural production - found within the students work at KADK and through case studies of Danish residential architecture. A series of public exhibitions proved to be important milestones during the 4th semester. The first exhibition was launched during the study trip to Belgium in May 2015, in connection to the one day workshop in the production studios in Ghent, designed by DVVT for Les Ballets C de la B & LOD (2003-2008). The case study drawings were reduced to the size of a standard postcard, placed in our suitcases and transported to Ghent, where they were displayed on the black dance floor of the studio and appreciated as a gesture from our students to DVVT, directly before Jan de Vylder gave us all an unforgettable lecture. The second half of the lecture served as a first glimpse into what was to take place at the ‘Not Yet Summer School’ exhibition at KADK in June, showcased after the semester project hand-in and critique. DVVT produced six pamphlets with drawings and photos of six of their houses and 15 copies of each pamphlet. After a nourishing soup at the roof terrace on top of Les
Ballet, students each selected a pamphlet of the house they felt most inspired by at the morning lecture. Before leaving to experience the six houses in scale 1:1, Jan de Vylder and Inge Vinck encouraged the students to study, dissect, reconstruct and improve the selected houses of DVVT. They argued for the obvious value of copying good architecture. Historically, this method has been a highly esteemed driving force in art academies where students copied the great masters. However, as the work of DVVT is so rich, yet subtly and willfully peculiar, it seemed impossible to simply copy their work without engaging and decoding their vocabulary. One must engage in a real dialogue with them. Their work is simultaneously ordinary and unique, but instead of mapping the scene to create a clear strategy, it appears that they receive nourishment from all the inevitable but unforeseen aspects that any building project is so richly confronted with. Fundamental supporting elements are oversized and celebrated with characteristic colours. The filling of old but often simultaneously constructed openings are not hidden but instead, celebrated in a strange block masonry based on yet another format of blocks. Beams are not distributed in equal distances but react to many logics. These seemingly endless but nuanced and fruitful discussions seem to qualify their work, leaving one with an inspiring and straightforward feeling of dealing with both art and everyday life. One could argue that the architectural intentions of DVVT are too complex and bizarre for 2nd year students, but on the contrary, we experienced great energy at KADK, where multi-story housing
projects were guided by very personal agendas. The next exhibition was held in the showroom of the architecture office LETH & GORI in Absalonsgade, Copenhagen in September 2015. Students exhibited their 1:33 models and 143 postcards from the workshop in June titled ‘The Not Yet Summer School’. As shown, these models are not abstract, but models with an awareness of the reality that architecture is composed of different elements. This book is the next baton in a relay race that summarises this educational cooperation. We intend to distribute this to the next architecture office that might be interested to engage in a similar cooperation. We have been asked to exhibit selected material from this cooperation in 2016 under the title ‘Double Program’, with an aim to unfold the discussion between the architect or practice’s works and the students projects. This will take place at a joint exhibition with six other international projects at KADK, all of which received support from a pool managed by the chancellors of artistic educations, RKU. We are in many ways inspired by the new structure at KADK, and most notably in the encouraged cooperation amongst practice based teachers and researchers with common interests. It is about promoting an investigative and experimental practice where the immersion in the fabrication of drawings, models and buildings contributes to individual and collective knowledge.

4 th Semester Assignment ‘Æstetik - Beboelse i Byen’ The assignment of the spring semester is concerned with the development of a multi-story residential building in the dense city. The dwellings are situated in four selected locations in Copenhagen and Frederiksberg. These are: 1) Saxogade, Vesterbro; 2) Enghavevej Vesterbro; 3) Vesterfælledvej, Carlsberg; 4) Platanvej, Frederiksberg.
“A city is a human settlement in which strangers are likely to meet”
’Fall of public man’ – Richard Sennett, sociologist
Architecture’s Anatomy & Fabrication / Page 40 – 41
What does it mean to ‘inhabit’? How does the dwelling affect our way of living - and vice versa, how does our way of living make an impact on the dwelling? What is a ‘home’? The intention is about giving something back to the city. The primary characteristics of cities are - and always have been - changes. Cities are organic and evolve through changes in economic, technological and social conditions. A city’s strength is in its inherent diversity, which gives people the opportunity to meet, regardless of interest, age or social and ethnic affiliations. The city is a meeting place. Urban space is not only a practical or eventful room, but is also a normative space where encounters with strangers encourage us to be tolerant citizens of society. This raises a number of questions concerning the borders of ‘dwelling’ and its relationship to the city. Does the property extend beyond its limited footprint? How can the property be involved in the the city across several levels, by exceeding the registered plot? In other words, how can housing give something back to the city and the neighbourhood? Does the building
include public programs in addition to housing? There are special requirements for the study of density and daylight conditions within housing projects, including rewriting the district plan for the area as well as exploring daylight simulations. The semester is divided into a number of distinct phases of the project, with a special focus on the ‘transport’ of ideas, surveys, studies, experiments, results and programs, transitioning towards ‘discovery’ and synthesis between these individual phases.
‘Housing’ is the overall programmatic framework of the semester, and each student develops an architectural program simultaneously exploring spatial intervals and tectonic relations at different scales. Concepts such as the complexity of the ordinary, the ugly and the beautiful, the familiar and the unknown, the public and the private, accessibility, density and daylight, skeleton, body and cladding are explored. Building anatomy such as deck, wall, facade, montage, installations also play a role.
Phase 1: Case study of a dwelling in the city. Students draw their own home, with a focus on the transitional zones between the residence and the city, such as the exterior entry door and the window inside their home.
Phase 3: Daylight Course. Daylight Visualizer. Study trip to Belgium.
Phase 2: Program development of ‘The House in the City / The City in the House’. Students identify and name their own interests. Urban studies and surveys compare densities and daylight conditions. Testing of volume models at a scale of 1:500. Rewriting the district plan.
Phase 4: Development of ‘Housing’ project. Submission requirements are defined individually in relation to the specific focus of each project, themes and personal interests. Drawings of at least one dwelling in a scale of 1:50 are required as well as the core drawings of the entire block at a scale of 1:200.

Vertical Housing The ‘Vertical Housing’ project on Enghavevej in Copenhagen, explores the reprogramming of a closed and divided housing block, which is transformed through the addition of bike paths and pedestrian connections to an open public park. On the other hand, the project searches for the potential of vertical housing to maximise the spatial qualities of small living spaces. The housing program similarly deals with how level changes can create open and closed spaces without the use of walls. The intention of the project is to create a hierarchy of public, semi-public and private spaces in the form of parks and buildings in an aim to give new life to the area.

The City, the House and the Garden The City-Garden as a Facilitator for a Community in the CityThe purpose of this project is to create an arena for a space-specific community of city dwellers. The idea is to create a room where busy individuals living in the city can establish face-to-face relationships. The proposed program for a shared vegetable garden facilitates this space-specific community. Through the cultivation of vegetables and the addition of the garden as a parallel part of the housing project, the relationships between residents are derived through a shared and common activity. This established an aim to develop a more in depth connection than the brief meeting of two strangers in a hallway. One can speculate that the relationship between residents will be of a more permanent nature as well. The housing project is located inside a block at Enghavevej in Vesterbro. It consists of 19 apartments and can house about 57 residents.
The Gardens Every apartment shares two gardens with a limited number of other apartments. This means that every apartment has two different ‘garden communities’. The project assumes that the residents of the housing project will frequently use a garden shared with a few other people. By creating smaller ‘garden communities’, the residents will have a better chance of getting to know each other. Alongside the opportunity to share an activity with your neighbours, the farming of vegetables holds economic, environmental and health benefits for all residents involved.
The Apartments The communal gardens are spatially solved through inclusion of all the apartments on two levels. This means that every apartment consists of two different ‘garden communities’ – one on each floor. The size of the apartments varies from two room apartments to five room apartments, allowing the complex to house people with different spatial needs – elderly people, young people, families, singles, couples and so on. These people can benefit from each other as they supposedly have different skills. For instance, the elderly residents may have more time to water the plants on a regularly basis, whilst the younger residents can engage with the physically hard work of maintaining the gardens.

Programming How does the notion of exposure relate to developing different perspectives of the city, the neighbour and the home? Is it possible to interpret exposure as something else? Can you, as a private person, open your home and expose your way of living to a stranger? The housing complex introduces a spare bedroom shared between two apartments. The project targets people who are willing to rent out a part of their apartment for an extended period. The place for the bed becomes an expansion of the housing complex when it is not being rented.
Reflection In my own apartment, I enjoy the fact that I am part of the city and can experience the fullness of city life with the people who inhabit it. I am able to do this from the privacy of my own home, where the city cannot see me and neither can the people. I spend a lot of time in this part of the apartment and from here I can decide whether I want to participate in the street life from above or to physically join it on the streets below From my apartment, I am also able to follow the lives of my neighbours without them being able to see me. Therefore, it is not just the street life that I follow, but also the private lives of others. At the other end of my apartment, it is even easier to look into the homes of my neighbours and they can also look straight into my home. I feel very exposed at this end of my home so I do not spend much time here, unless the curtains are down.
We participate in the private lives of others, but to what extent do you allow others to do the same to you? What is allowed when you live in a dense area? How do you shield yourself? How do you relate to your neighbours and the city – the people that you share your house and the area with?

The Wall in the City, the House in the Wall The project is located on Platanvej, Frederiksberg, in an area where the borders between public and private are confusing and blurry. The building defines its surrounding urban space by acting as a wall between the street and courtyard, giving them separate identities and more distinct borders. The wall makes these spaces easier to understand and thereby, more inviting to the inhabitants of the city. The building is 50 meters long, 28 meters tall and only 3,5 meters wide. The building consists of ten tall and narrow apartments that unfold vertically. The building as a whole is a positive shape with negative spaces created around it. Similarly, the outer walls of the bedrooms define the more ‘public’ zone in each apartment. This zone expands over all four floors and is in fact, one single room, creating a connection with the other rooms.
Because of the building’s narrowness, the urban context around the house becomes a crucial part of the space within. To live in the house is to exist in the intersection between two worlds - the extrovert (the street) and the introvert (the courtyard).

This project challenges existing norms found within homes for the elderly. We are facing a new generation of seniors, caused by an aging population. My idea is to create a building that grows old with you, which will face the same problems and needs as your body as you grow older. When you begin to inhabit this building in your 50s, you will not need to move or be hospitalised when injured. The two main criteria for designing for seniors, presented after conducting research, are safety and activity. Therefore, the building consists of 16 apartments, which are fully equipped with kitchen, living room and bathroom. Moreover, there is a lot of common spaces found both indoors and outdoors between buildings, all facing the common yard. Within the design, it is important to maintain the feeling of independence but also to create a platform to get to know your neighbours and participate in activities. These spaces are able to transform into apartments for nurses, when help on a daily basis is required.
Knowing your neighbour is a central criteria of the project. Therefore, an open space is installed both between the apartments and between the building blocks to create a yard inside the bigger building. This invites light inside to your neighbour’s apartment and promotes safety through awareness of when they are at home. The ground floor and first floor contain a rehabilitation center with a pool and areas for exercise. When injured, you can work your way to health while at home or maintain active on a daily basis. The two first floors of the other buildings house a kindergarten. Young and old people will have a platform to meet. The area around the buildings are transformed into an outdoor space, inviting the surrounding buildings to take part and create activity around the building complex.

The program explores the possibilities for integrating asylum seekers with local communitiess. The strategy aims to infiltrate existing composition of residents, as a means to prevent gentrification and maintain a social and ethnic diversity. The program unites housing, education and socioeconomic businesses to create more meaningful surroundings for refugees whilst giving something back to the local area. The building consists of housing units ranging from 35m2 to 59m2, with balconies facing a public courtyard. The courtyard functions as a passage and serves both residents and customers of businesses on the ground floor. The building is economic in its use of space on site, contributing to the city’s density. The common areas are a focus point in the proposal, celebrating the everyday routines of an average resident as well as exploring the poetic architectural moments that can appear within a building complex, leading to different extents of interaction between the residents.

The aim of this public housing project in Vesterbro is to create a cheap housing type with a strong sense of community. The building consists of three houses, each containing between eight and ten apartments. The house allows diversity and flexibility with varying apartment sizes and dividable apartments. The apartments are small but all independently functional. The reduction of square meters in the individual apartment gives space to a shared living area, where neighbourly communities are able to grow. These spaces are connected to the staircases and the communal garden. Creating a feeling of ownership and responsibility as a main focus for the project. Herman Hertzberger’s concepts of territorial zones and ‘in-betweens’ have been an important source of inspiration. The front facade appears closed in its relation to the busy street. It relates to the neighbouring buildings through height and window rhythms. In contrast, the back facade relates to the communal garden and is open and adjustable.

The aim of this project is to create a safe and social environment for people with a mild form of mental disability. This is a place where people can live a somewhat normal and independent life with access to help and guidance required at any time. For some people, everyday routines are difficult. This project creates a place that provides that help. The building contains small apartments with only the space one would need. The apartments contain a bathroom, space for a bed and a small table. All the apartments are almost the same, with only a small change in size, oriented to face various directions. The inhabitants share a big kitchen, dining areas, living rooms, lounges, activity rooms, small gardens, and a big workshop with space for creative activities. In the workshop, there is space for inhabitants to exhibit what they make and sell to people that walk by. With a concentration of common rooms and smaller private rooms, the inhabitants have the
opportunity to live a highly social life with one another. Every floor is slightly different and the common spaces occur in different places in different sizes. The ground floor is divided by passages, where the passerby can move through the building without actually entering. The rooms on the ground floor are common spaces, and as you move higher up, there are more apartments and common rooms. Visual contact between different levels creates interaction between floors. The front door of the individual rooms are pulled back to create a space for storage of outerwear and making a nontraditional way to enter a private space.

Kavel Houses by DVVT Architecten The ambitions of AG SOB (Ghent Urban Development Corporation) strive further than towards development of new urban districts and redrawing the existing urban fabric in broad gestures. Their Kavel project is an exercise in the precise implementation of small-scale housing projects following unconventional principles. The corporation seeks opportunities within the urban fabric, through demolition if necessary, to build new homes either individually or in groups ranging from two to three to seven or eight inhabitants. The corporation does not manage everything themselves. Instead, they offer the site to a young individual or suitable family selected from a number of candidates, together as a package complete with a selected architect on highly advantageous terms. The deal is also bound by stringent conditions for financial and program requirements, where a high grade of sustainability is required on a practically impossible budget. Much remains to be said about the meagre budget, the arbitrary selection process and the exemplary role of the projects â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as real
examples or only as exceptional examples. But it is the boldness that matters. Having the courage to approach property development in a new way is probably the only way to help property development out of its (real or alleged) predicament. Four plots, or to be precise, four families declare themselves. Four houses are drawn. At first sight they seem like four identical houses, but none of them is exactly the same. Not only are the plots different but the families too. Actually, they may really be four different situations. Like any other assignment, they have nothing to do with one another. Or maybe they do. One thing these houses have in common is that they were designed in section rather than in the plan. This is certainly the approach taken to each of these houses, as it was for many preliminary studies. It was not only the families that had to put in an application for these projects, the architects did so too. The candidate architects first received an imaginary project to design. The exercise conformed to real parameters of developing on inner city
sites - narrow but deep, and of course, with multiple floors. Designing in section is actually a consequence of this type of site. The activity of dwelling is always organised vertically, from daytime domesticity to sleeping. This poses a main problem of how to bring daylight down to the lower floors. Another aspect that the houses share is in the attempt to deal with demands of the situation, not just with the narrow, deep plan. Two of the four houses were faced with additional irregularities. In one case, the walls of the adjacent properties force the plot to taper almost to a point; in the other, the plot is so irregular that the house, gains what could be described as a third facade. The four houses have a special economy, always assuming the possibility of influencing the eventual detailing as early as the initial shell design. A single house cannot do that. The way the houses relate to the city. What living in the city is like. What living is like. That is what it is about. Not one of the four proposals ignore this.

House Meulestede was the first in a series of houses which were an exercise in the materiality of the shell;* in how everything could fit together. Every brick bond was drawn. But when something did not fit exactly, an unexpected choice might be made; something that did not fit was not forced to fit. A beam to be positioned on a spread support on a wall that follows a stepped line, positions itself as it is: everything is slightly shifted. The slight shift is what makes it visually interesting. This inspires the decision, in another situation, to allow wooden beams to simply lie on a transverse concrete beam and admit sunlight between them.

De Verbrande Brug The project is called ‘De Verbrande Brug’ and is located next to the canal Brusselschelde.The client bought a garage and asked us to transform it into a house. We proposed to keep the structure but to give a new roof, to build in between and on top. The living area is moved to the first floor and is designed with a long window that looks on to the wide canal. The sleeping area remains downstairs, enclosed in between the existing walls. New walls are moved backward to let in more light. A second staircase is introduced. One to enter, one to sleep. They separate day and night and create spatial interplay. Assignment Reconversion of a garage box into a single family house. Client Private Year 2013-2016 Location Humbeek m² 120 € Private Status In Process

Tectonic Translations by Sebastian Skovsted
The workshop of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Not Yet Summer Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; combined both analysis and development of a site-specific house in Copenhagen with a focus on construction, material and detail. 54 students paired up to make 27 models scaled 1:333 (the same scale as the original models of the DVVT houses), in 100 hours based on one of six previously studied houses in Belgium. Through this task, students were encouraged to conduct a thorough analysis of the original precedents in order to understand and translate their observations. How would the new house position itself within a specific site in Copenhagen? What are the consequences of this new condition for the overall layout, construction, materials and details? The three chosen projects exemplify this.
Verbrande Brug, Mynstersvej 14 – Group no. 08
Architecture’s Anatomy & Fabrication / Page 138 – 139
The house in Mynstersvej is similar to the house in Brussels, which is built in and on top of an existing garage and squeezed in between two higher neighbouring houses. In Brussels, the living room sits on top of the existing garage and the entire facade is comprised of a large horizontal panoramic window that overlooks the adjacent canal. The house in Frederiksberg is not facing the water, but is oriented to the houses on the other side of the small street. There is however, a great view down the street. The large frontal view towards the canal has thus been translated into a sideorientated vertical view down the street, from floor to ceiling, found in the double height living room. The window is placed to protrude in front of the house next door, as a consequence of the rotation relative to the garage, neighbouring houses and street - like the original house in Brussels. The rest of the facade is kept almost completely closed. As a consequence of the higher neighbouring houses in Copenhagen, an additional floor has been added to the house. More notable is the reversal of the pitched roof, designed so that its highest points are at the facade and its lowest points at the middle of the house. The roof is
inverted to create the high vertical window. In the original house, two I-beams are placed across the living room, in the event that the residents would like to create a mezzanine under the roof. In the house in Copenhagen, this mezzanine is already in use. In Verbrande Brug, the beam carrying the roof cantilever (where the facade withdraws from the street) is supported by a steel column. This is attached to the wall via a round steel plate, distributing the weight to the bricks. This motive in Copenhagen is translated into a steel cable, which carries the cantilever by supporting the three beams carrying the floors and roof. The cable is held by a large semicircle of steel, attached to the roof edge of the neighbouring building.
Tichelrei 4, Istedgade 85 - Group no. 16 Since the plot in Istedgade 85 is much smaller than that of the original house in Ghent, the new house pushes out onto the sidewalk and road. The house follows the precedent of neighbouring houses at street level, but steps out on each floor. In the same way as Tichelrei 4, the rear façade retreats from each successive story. This cantilever becomes one large bay window stretching the entire width of the house. Since the house is so narrow - even at its widest point - the scale is reminiscent of a typical bay window that could have been part of a larger house further down the street. The façade is not like a typical bay window filled
with window openings, but is relatively closed - corresponding to the surrounding buildings and façade of Tichelrei 4 in Ghent. This is also perhaps in response to the fact that the rooms are at risk of being very exposed, since they have been brought further forward, than in the adjacent buildings. In the original house, a thin round green steel column supports the upper crossbeam in the middle. To prevent the house on Istedgade from tumbling onto the street, due to its dramatic overhang in proportion to its modest depth, the green steel column has been translated into a round steel bar fixed into the foundation. Instead of supporting the crossbeam the same way as in Ghent, at the bottom of the floor joists, the bar is fastened to a cross beam running on top of the large beams that support
the whole building’s overhang. This prevents it from being pulled up due to the weight of the cantilever In the original house, the staircase is placed lengthways to divide up the floor plan into sleeping rooms facing the street and large living rooms facing the garden, in the narrow end of the house. The stairs shift a staircase-width every floor, so that the floor plan changes each time - creating a diagonal view down and across the house with all floors visually bound together. The site on Istedgade is not wide enough to have stairs that cross the house. Each floor is so small, even with the bay window, that it has been preserved as one large room without partitions. The stairs are displaced on each floor like in Ghent, but are turned perpendicular to the street.
Architecture’s Anatomy & Fabrication / Page 140 – 141
Meulestede, Hallandsgade 17, - Group no. 22 The site in Hallandsgade is considerably narrower than the site of the original house in Ghent. The triangular elements found in the otherwise orthogonal house in Ghent seem to have enacted a diagonal play of facade and beam directions in the new house.
Architecture’s Anatomy & Fabrication / Page 142 – 143
The turned facades retain the width of the original facades. The front facade appears to be a rather true copy of the original, but is actually not. The windows are changed slightly, in proportions relating to the interior spaces as well as to new neighbouring houses. The unheated part integrated in the original house under the stairs, here becomes the entire area where the house withdraws from the street. This creates a semi-private outdoor room even on this very tiny plot. The window niches in the walls are turned in the way that they follow the direction of street and not the façade in which they are placed. The window niches within the front façade are orientated towards the semi-private space and the rear façade to direct the viewpoint backwards despite the rotated façade. A very precise game between the right and diagonal angles of the concrete and wooden beams is created in the house at Hallandsgade, making the structure find little spaces in between. The new house is like a compact version of the original house.
Original Copies All six original houses were built from the same typical Belgian typology - a single family house on narrow plot, four to six meters in width, reaching up to three to four floors with side walls shared directly with neighbouring houses and each with its own small backyard. In Copenhagen, this typology is rarely found. By consequence, the sites in Copenhagen were leftover places or gaps in the city as opposed to real plots. In the end, this gave the sites a certain resistance that seems to have strengthened the students’ responses. There are up to five versions of the same Flemish house on the same site in Copenhagen. It is interesting to see how different the responses are, with the same original house as a reference point. There is great variation between the various models but at the same time, they have a distinct commonality. They are simultaneously all copies and completely unique.

“A city is a human settlement in which strangers are likely to meet”
Architecture’s Anatomy & Fabrication / Page 146 – 147
The idea started a few years before with the initiative to run an architect-in-residency program based in LETH & GORI combined architecture office and storefront exhibition space at Absalonsgade 21 in Copenhagen. In 2012, Dutch architect Anne Holtrop was invited to work on what later became the solo exhibition ‘Batara’, in collaboration with photographer Bas Princen. In 2013, following a double workshop held initially in Barcelona and then Copenhagen, the Spanish based duo Flores Y Prats held a double exhibition, simultaneously presenting one (fantastic) project in the 800m2 exhibition hall of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and five smaller (equally fantastic) projects in the 28m2 storefront exhibition space of LETH & GORI.
Housing in the Gaps of the City The exhibition ‘Housing in the Gaps of the City’ presents the work of 56 2nd year architecture students at the Bachelor program, ‘Architecture’s Anatomy & Fabrication’, as a result of a collaboration between The Royal Danish Academy of Arts School of Architecture, Belgian architecture office Architecten de Vylder Vinck Taillieu (DVVT) and Danish architecture office LETH & GORI. The assignment developed from a specific interest in housing wedged into the gaps and cracks of the city. Through viewing the city as a continuous landscape, it becomes clear that there are places and corners in the city that apparently do not belong to anyone. Spaces and gaps that seem forgotten or simply neglected because they do not represent any apparent financial value. ‘Housing in the Gaps of the City’ is an architectural strategy that moves into the gaps
of the city and develops - in the photographic meaning of the word - housing in places where construction seems impossible. The strategy processes non-existing building sites and empty urban space into actual building sites. The resulting densification of the city offers a wider diversity and variation in building typologies and scale, and consequently the city becomes more open to more opportunity. In other words: The city becomes architecturally richer as the multi-layering of different programs and scales sited side by side creates a city with more depth - a wilder city, where strangers are likely to meet.
The Kavel Project as a New Model for Partnership with the Municipality of Copenhagen Kavel in Dutch or Flemish simply means plot or site. And the four sites from DVVT Kavel Houses in Ghent, House M, House A, House T and House W, are all by first sight quite simple. At a closer look, all turn out to be rather
impossible building sites. Small openings or cuts in the city, narrow and deep in plan and high and irregular in section, demand the utmost precision in the architectural work and in designing the section in order to provide daylight deep into the living spaces of these new houses. All four sites are found next to blank firewalls. Blank canvases waiting for something new. Waiting for a new neighbor. An opaque, quiet waiting wall. In Flemish wachtgevel. Simply waiting. The unconventional Kavel Project was initiated by the independent city development company SOB Ghent, which approaches property development in a totally new way. The corporation seeks building sites within the existing urban fabric - if necessary through demolition - in order to build new affordable small homes. The sites are offered to a family selected through a qualification process, as a package complete with a selected architect. The terms of the deal are highly advantageous but defined by stringent conditions for financial and sustainability requirements. A fantastic possibility but at the same time almost impossible financially. The results of the Kavel Project are unconventional and bold. In the case of four Kavel Houses by DVVT, the results are extremely beautiful and touching in the way the individual
houses care about what living in the city can be like. Even though the four houses all have a certain rawness that seem to come from struggling with a tight budget, this also brings out unexpected qualities from raw materials, exposed concrete blocks, untreated wood and painted steel surfaces and detailing - creating an authentic, robust frame around living in the house. Living can be simple and respectful in the way natural resources are used and processed. That respect is sustainability. That living is now. The Kavel Project opens up a new way of seeing the city and the (hidden) opportunities that lie within the gaps of the city. It also challenges the way we traditionally understand the collaboration between the municipality, the citizens and the role of the architect. Could this be done in Copenhagen? Would it be possible for architects and clients to partner up with the municipality of Copenhagen, in order to locate and develop the seemingly large number of neglected and impossible building sites that are just waiting for something new to happen? We are very inspired by DVVT and the empathetic way the four Kavel Houses in Ghent deal with the poetics of everyday life, and we cannot wait to discover what opportunities are to be found within Copenhagen.

It is through creation and the act of making that allows techniques to open up architectural work for new discoveries.
