analysis + schematic proposal
EXISTING GREEN
EXISTING GREEN > Private gardens and hedges > Public parks/green space > Natural edges (Skt. Jørgens Sø) > Primarily along west edge
EXISTING GREEN
sections through private gardens
EXISTING ROADS
EXISTING STREETS > 2-3 lane traffic along Søgade > Large, busy intersections at bridge crossings > Residential street parking at Øster and Vester Søgade > Primarily along east edge
EXISTING ROADS
typical sections through Søgade
MAJOR CROSSINGS
Fredensbro
Dronning Louises Bro
Aaboulevard
Kampmannsgade
EXISTING PUBLIC SPACES
EXISTING PUBLIC > Cafe and treed edge at Ă˜sterbrogade > Green corners at Dronning Louises Bro > Bridge wall at Dronning Louises Bro > Green spaces at Kampmannsgade and Tycho Brahe
PRIORITY LITTORAL ZONE CREATIION
LITTORAL ZONES > Littoral zones are shallow slopes where freshwater species spawn, nest, and feed. These are required for a balanced ecosystem. > New zones with slope 1:5 - 1:10 should be created on southwest facing edges > Can be constructed or infilled on existing edges
new littoral zone at Ă˜ster Søgade
INFRASTRUCTURAL CHANGES
REDUCE FAST TRAFFIC > Access is important but fast traffic should be reduced to encourage a better use of the east edge. > Proposal: Vester, Nørre, and Øster Søgade made into local/ residential traffic only streets > Proposal: lakeside parking on west side made into pedestrian/cycle acces only and repaved with permeable pavings
Ă˜ster Søgade - local traffic only allows private/public use to expand
NEW PUBLIC/GREEN EDGES
EXPANSION OF PRIVATE/PUBLIC SPACES > When traffic has been reduced, there is potential for development of the space in front of the buildings on the east edge. The kind of space developed should reflect the scale of the building/function. > Large public and semi-public buildings (e.g., Copenhagen University city campus) can develop larger scale public spaces. > Residential and small scale commercial buildings can develop private gardens and public terraces.
Ă˜ster Søgade - Private Gardens expand after traffic is limited
FUTURE GREEN
LAKES AS DIVERSE URBAN NATURE > The lake edges become a true urban destination where nature flourishes and there is a diversity of scale and function
Øster Søgade - Public edges
