SCHONHERR 基础设施 遍布全球的基础设施是人类所居住的现实世界物质基础的组成部分。 我们搭乘汽车，轮船，飞机和火车，并用这些工具运输我们的货物 - 我们相遇，沟通，寻找新的机会。 人类消费，同时产生垃圾和能源-我们分配，使用，再利用以及废弃 人类活动给周边环境留下种种痕迹，漂亮的痕迹诸如使不同地区相互连通的便利设施，以风车和垃圾处 理场为代表文化的能源制造地标等等，而丑陋者比如原材料提取或废物存储地。 创造出实用并且雄伟的设计方案的愿望决定我们的基础设施是被货币和邮票设计者所采用，抑或是仅作 为服务设施而被人们不愿与之为邻。
在设计景观中所规划的设施时，除了要考虑解决现实的问题，还要美化自身所处环境。 这一特性的实现往往需要考虑历史，文化和地方特色，居民利益，以及可持续的美丽环境。对我们而 言，基础设施应该是在各个层面为人类增加更多价值，而不是从我们所居住的环境中带走一些东西。 实现这一目标的前提是在我们所有的合作者中-工程师，生物学家，承包商，官方机构，特别是建筑商， 分享这一理念。这正是为什么一个以解决方案为主的和有着同一愿景的合作是整个实践的基础的原因。
SCHONHERRINFRASTRUCTURE Infrastructural facilities are found all over the world and are part of the physical basis of the reality we inhabit. We transport ourselves and our goods in cars, on ships, in planes, and on trains – we meet, communicate, and seek out new horizons. We consume. We produce garbage and energy – we distribute, use, reuse, and discard. Our activities leave traces on our surroundings, traces like beautiful installations that connect areas of land to each other, energy producing landmarks of our culture in the shape of windmills and refuse disposal plants, or sometimes like disfiguring scars in the landscape from extraction of raw materials or the depositing of waste. The will to create functional and superbly designed solutions is what determines whether our infrastructural facilities end up being depicted on bank notes and stamps or as service machines that nobody wants in their neighbourhood. Any kind of facility planned in the landscape must be deigned in a way so that they, in addition to solving a practical problem, contribute positively and aesthetically to the context of which they are part. Tasks of this character often have their own historical, cultural, and place-specific narrative that must be supported and evolved to the benefit of the population and as a contribution towards a sustainable and beautiful environment. To us, infrastructure is about adding more value, on all levels, to mankind than what it takes away from the environment we live in. The prerequisite for meeting this goal is to share it with all our good collaborators – engineers, biologists, contractors, authorities, and not least builders. That is why a solution-centric and expectancy-harmonized cooperation is the basis of our entire practice.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGNOF TECHNICAL PLANTS As infrastructure designers and landscape planners we face exciting challenges in our task of integrating well-working environmental parameters in the planning and construction of our cities and landscapes. Our aim is to be able to bequeath what we create to future generations with a clear conscience. At Scho nherr infrastructure is regarded as an important component in our landscapes and city spaces. Infrastructure must be treated with as much solicitude and ingenuity as our houses, parks, and squares. Infrastructure is part of the monuments of the time and requires equal attention. 6
The cultural landscape has historically been characterized by agriculture, as a cultivated landscape with relatively decentralized units. Today the landscape is constantly evolving and changing, characterized by large-scale operations, industrial buildings, and technical plants. Experiences of nature are radically altered through human intervention and implementation of huge technical plants, etc. A landscape that is continually influenced by new tactics requires a special approach and method in terms of restoration and new thinking on values. Infrastructural facilities, agriculture, forestry, raw material extraction, waste disposal, high-voltage plants, windmills, sewage disposal plants, and tourism are all constituent parts of the cultural landscape we know today. It has a substantial value-significance for all of us, and therefore it must, just like any building, monument, and facility that contribute to our shared understanding of value, be treated with solicitude.
Through a visualization of current and complex physical interferences in our surroundings we can, together with our advisors, analyse the many provisions that will manifest themselves. From there we can prepare solution models that contribute in a positive way to the clarification of pros and cons in connection with different physical operations. Here we are primarily thinking of visual conditions, but also of development of elements in the solution of problems with noise and other functional problematics associated with environmental reviews, problems of vital importance to the people whose lives are affected by the infrastructural facilities. OUR SERVICES INCLUDE: • Environmental reviews of energy, road, and railway facilities • Landscape and localization analyses, registration of cultural environments and cultural landscapes • Assessment of aesthetic and visual conditions
• Master plans, landscape plans, plantation plans, and maintenance plans • Visualization and 3D modelling • Design, aesthetics, and detailing of technical structures • Development of equipment • Noise suppression • Terrain modelling, re-establishment and restoration projects
ROADSRAILWAYS, TUNNELS AND BRIDGES Infrastructure is often dimensioned for high speeds and constitutes dominant geometries in our surroundings. But roads are more than servicing machinery; they are also public spaces and elements in which many of us spend several hours every day.
SERVICES
We meet and share the space of movement, which therefore must be of the highest quality, both aesthetically and functionally. Schonherr works for cohesion of scale between infrastructure, surroundings, and people, and focus on reaching sterling solutions that impart added value to the affected areas. We often work in the field of tension between aesthetic, economic, environmental, and cultural considerations, which must be amalgamated into a union with the landscape and the shaping of the technical plants. The individual elements should be viewed as a coherent and integrated unity of separate infrastructural components such as tracing, terrain modulation, roadsides, equipment, bridges, illumination, plantation, noise reduction, signposts, etc. When the individual elements are combined into a unified design strategy, the facility/plant
8
will emerge as a harmonic expression imparting particularly positive experiences to the users. In the design processes we therefore always aim for: • Clarification and simplification design-wise • Reduction of the number of elements • Mutual harmonization of the design and placement of the individual elements • Mediation between design and context • Sustainable approach to the surrounding nature OUR SERVICES INCLUDE: • Landscape and localization analyses, registration of cultural environments and cultural landscapes • Landscape and plantation plans • Design and detailing of bridges, tunnels, noise reduction screens, illumination, signs, and additional technical installations • Sketch projecting, detail projecting, tenders, and supervision
• Terrain modelling, re-establishment and restoration projects • Visualization and 3D modelling
PRACTICEIN DESIGN AND COLLABORATION An open and goal-oriented process and dialogue with all interested parties towards the completion of the facility are of vital importance. In order to contribute towards an optimal cooperation, innovative thinking, and high artistic quality, we have established a practice for all our assignments based on the following principles: • Open dialogue with all collaborators on the weighting of form and content • Continual harmonization of expectations and requirements • Solution-oriented consultancy in all project phases
• Innovative thinking in terms of interdisciplinary work methods and communication forms • Focus on functional demands and safety in relation to design potential • Solutions that always unite function and architecture • Balancing of the relation between design and economy • Visually communicated concepts for exchanges with builder, advisors, users, and authorities • Delivery on time • Adaptation of our services in relation to cooperation in international environments

TUNNEL& ROAD
Construction of a tunnel that will connect the Elsinore motorway to Copenhagen’s Nordhavn. It comprises two new approach areas, a 600 metres long cut-and-cover tunnel, railway bridge, and footbridge. The future road and tunnel connection is important for the municipality’s development plans for Nordhavn, and the near-shore location requires adaptation to the maritime environment. The landscape work includes description and assessment of the landscape-aesthetic effects of the construction of an extended infrastructural facility, and Schønherr is also responsible for the work on the design of the tunnel portal, daylight 12
screen, bridge abutments, retaining walls, noise barriers and other road elements, as well as terrain and plantation. The preparation of the facility’s concrete elements and fittings shall contribute to the project’s ambition: to create a cohesive, sterling road system of high aesthetic standards. The construction’s large components, such as tunnel, bridges, and approach areas are done in an unequivocal, simple, and inclusive idiom in the shape of one architectonic element. This idiom is continued in lamp standards, noise barriers, crash fences, signs, and parapets.

CONCRETE CONSTITUETES AS AN UNBROKEN ORGANIC LINE THROUGH THE ROAD SYSTEM
ROAD PROFILE, BORDER DEMARCATIONS, BRIDGE ABUTMENTS, AND RETAINING WALLS The borders between road and landscape are marked by concrete everywhere, and concrete constitutes, as one of the facility’s unique characteristics, an unbroken organic line through the road system. On the Elsinore motorway and in the tunnel tube the border demarcations are vertical. On the remaining stretch of road a new border element with an 11 degree outward slant is incorporated. The slant thus opens the road space to the surroundings and creates a dynamic effect that becomes one of the unique features of the facility. The border element is constructed with the New Jersey crash fence – which is utilized wherever crash fences are required – as its point of departure.
The idea is that the border elements be constructed as pre-fabricated elements with a rounded upper edge. Where abutments are subsequently added, the border element may be constructed with a level upper surface. Below the railway bridges the border element is lifted in a continuous movement so that the necessary abutments are established. By the tunnel, shunt, and the Elsinore motorway the border elements are intersected with the vertical wall in a characteristically precise geometry.

TUNNEL PORTAL – DAYLIGHT SCREEN 22
TUNNEL PORTAL AND DAYLIGHT SCREEN The daylight screen in Nordhavnsvej is developed with a view to equipping the road system with a straightforwardly organized element that in terms of idiom and design interact with the aesthetic idea and quality of Nordhavnsvej. The tunnel portal thus becomes a unification of the road system’s dynamic architecture and a screen as ‘the roof of the road’. With the concept of a screen based on modular elements as the point of departure, parameters such as flexibility and constructive geometry become determining factors for the final shape of the screen. In addition to belonging to the road, the screen will – in shape and application – become a portal to the Nordhavn area and Copenhagen. That is why the screen’s aesthetics and shape relate to the context and the city in equal measures. The screen becomes a new aspect of the encircled urbanity and it will manifest itself as the face of Nordhavnsvej.
The construction of the screen is geometrically based on the triangle and the hexagon. A primary steel construction encompasses an aluminium construction made of hexagons in a beehive-like system. The individual hexagons are filled with an extruded aluminium profile that increases in height as it approaches the mouth of the tunnel.
The result is that the light is dimmed gradually and that a dynamic space is created whose expression changes in accordance with the colours and light of the sky.
DAYLIGHT SCREEN – ALUMINIUM
PORTAL AREA 27
FITTING OUT The fittings elements are designed especially for this stretch of road with a mutual design interrelation as focal point. At the same time they must be seen as integrated parts of the constructions they are affiliated with. For example, pylons and noise barriers along flyover and pylons on the border elements on the stretch between the approach area and the tunnel ramp will reflect the 11 degree slant in a characteristic ‘break’, while vertical pylons and barriers are used along the Elsinore motorway, the tunnel ramp, and the centre strip. Pylons are designed as a triangular cross section of extruded aluminium. The pylon’s arch takes 11 degrees as its point of departure, a geometry that is also found in the border elements and the cross section of the flyover. 28
The triangular cross section is also found in noise barrier supporters, portals, and signposts. Noise barriers are made in an arched and a vertical variant. The vertical is used on vertical concrete walls and in the terrain. The arched one is used on the flyover.

A fixed connection between Denmark and 足Germany spanning Fehmarnbelt is not just a connection between two countries, but a radical infrastructural arrangement that on a local, regional, national, and international level will give rise to new opportunities and visions which will help shape out future. With this tunnel connection we want to create, not an icon or a monument, but an experience. The experience will focus on movement through a re-established and nature-wise improved landscape, which is staged by a layout that reveals and unfolds the view of the water, before the journey continues down through the tunnel. The concept of the drive along this stretch is shaped around high-technological and slowly changing daylight simulations with added artistic processing. The goal is to recreate and extend the natural values that have been lost over the last decades through intensive farming. This will add unique
FEHMARN 35
qualities to a rather sensitive environment, and attract visitors from the entire region. Together with the improved infrastructure, the establishment of a tunnel connection between Denmark and Germany will animate more people to come and stay in, as the situation is now, a rather isolated region of these local communities.

The tunnel connection will, with its 19 kilometres, be the longest of its kind in the world. The tunnel will be constructed utilizing the subaqueous trench method and will consist of a four-lane road system and a double-track railway connection. The entrance areas in connection with tunnel, portal and ramps, tollbooths, etc., will be placed close to the extant harbour areas on both sides of the belt by Rødby and Puttgarden respectively. Considerations for the vulnerable maritime environment and the unique coastal morphology are included as important parameters for the approach to the assignment, and due to the ex-
tended temporal horizon special emphasis will be placed on landscape aesthetic concerns in the local environments on both sides of Femern Belt during the construction period. The main idea of a landscape design based on a more natural-looking concept is to strengthen and emphasize the principal features of both the historical and the present coastal landscape, and thereby construct a ‘natural environment’ that can obtain all the different elements of the tunnel and its connecting infrastructure in a natural and a gently as possible ‘low-impact way’. This proposal will consist of coastal lakes, wetlands, and new forested areas. Over time these areas will become natural breeding grounds for migratory birds and important recreational areas for both local people and visitors to the site. The landscape work in connection with the tunnel project includes landscape registrations, investigations, and design of potential layouts
and the facility’s primary geometry, attachment to extant infrastructure, processing of surplus soil (some 17 bic metres), and design of technical functions around the land facilities.

SITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION
The project includes contributions to the EIA regarding visual conditions, visualisations, design of noise barriers, retaining walls, and overall landscape etc. The EIA encompasses a suggested solution to a grade separation of the train traffic along the Grenå railway and road traffic along Grenåvejen. The proposal elucidates technical, economic, environmental, design, and visual consequences. It contains proposal for design of noise barriers and retaining walls, proposals for plantations and further landscapeing. The two constructions – railway and road – are to be considered as separate entities that overlap: the road as a sculptural element, consisting of processed steel sheet piling and the railway as a smoother green element finding its way through the landscape. The primary story to be told is linked to the history of the landscape, the view of the surrounding landscape – the gate to the city. After the environmental report, the work continued with the proposal for a bridge crossing the rails. Schonherr has delivered detailed project for noise barriers, bridge details and sheet pile walls as well as tender for plantings.

The landscape work includes sketch project, projecting, and supervision. The new university in Sønderborg appear in an easily understandable scale that harmonizes with the rest of the coastal buildings. In the context of the buildings a campus will be established in connection with the pier that the town wants constructed along both shores of the sound. The pier will function as a recreational connection between town, countryside, and water and form the basis for many kinds of activities for the town’s inhabitants and the university students. The pier is constructed in front of the university as a vivaciously meandering stretch on several levels, which creates an animated dialogue with the movements of the tide and the nearby yachting harbour.

The square is unified by a uniform surface of sanded Densiphalt decorated with supergraphics. The graphics are used both as guidelines and for marking out parking booths. As part of the main concept that connects the university’s water and town aspects, the ground will be traversed by rows of willows, which, as they pass through the buildings, are replaced by olive trees.

The Harbour of Odense is at the moment undergoing a major transformation from a former industrial harbour to a new residential and commercial area. Schønherr has in connection with this process been placed in charge of a project concerning the public areas on one of the piers. The project includes roads, cannels, quay walls, pavements, promenades, squares, and jetties – accommodations that help connect the many different parts of the area. The main design proposal is carefully thought out and innovative in terms of use of materials. The result is a cast-iron coping which borders all of the quay walls. Hard surfaces are made of in-situ concrete, with a diversified design of joints and a brushed finish – thereby it is possible to obtain a differentiation between roads, pavements, and promenades. Sections of re-used cobblestones from the harbour and edges of steel create diversity and indicate designated areas for parking. It is possible to access the waterfront by means of the jetties and the new square in front of the old custom house – which also functions as a tribune for the future floating stage – and finally via a long wooden deck, stretching from the nearby Odense Harbour Plaza and out into the harbour basin. 64

HIGH TIDE BARRIER 67
The basis for the establishment of a new harbour front in Nørresundby north of Aalborg is the fact that the area is low in relation to the water level. The harbour areas and the nearby residential areas are often flooded in case of storms and heavy rains, and the primary task is thus to establish a high tide barrier constructed in such a way that it will be able to withstand the amounts of water expected in the future. At the same time the builder wishes to improve the harbour experience and through that to attract more life and activity along the water.

The Limfjord separates, but also connects two city districts; Aalborg and Nørresundby. The Limfjord is a physical barrier, but also a vital connection which constitutes the basis of establishing an urban area in the city.

The project’s idea can be described as an interlacement of the movement patterns which already are placed at Nørresundby waterfront. The primary aspect is the meeting between the land and the water, and secondary is the number of transversal connections from the city down to the water.
RAILWAY BRIDGE
The stretch along the north of the Limfjord is a vigorous and green axis that connects the former and now green industrial areas to the east and Fjordparken as well as Lindholms beach resort to the West. This linkage is composed as a promenade that includes a new recreational area which comprises boat lifting, sun terrace, sport pathways, and café area. The transversal connections between the city and the harbour are underlined by young planted broad-leaved trees. The other materials are
70
concrete with diverse surface treatments to develop life and variation in the many ramps and parapets of the area. In addition a wooden quay is built along the promenade to provide an opportunity to walk close to the water as well as to berth small boats and jump into the water. The design of the promenade underscores the longitudinal direction of the coastline and opens as a cohesive surface on three different levels. These levels increase the height of the terrain toward the water and in this way constitute the necessary protection against the high tide.

The landscape work includes the fitting in of a bicycle lane in manor landscape along an arterial road. The Danish bicycle culture has come into existence and been developed over many years, facilitated by continuous emphasis on bicycle lanes, bicycle routes, etc. The movement through the city and the landscape contributes significantly to our experience and appreciation of our natural environment and our urban connections and relations. That is why it is a healthy, sustainable, and recreational mode of conveyance to ride your bike to work or school. Cyclists already contribute to a limitation of the city’s CO2 emissions. When more than half of the population chooses to ride their bikes to work or place of education, we will considerably reduce the annual CO2 emission in Copenhagen. The area around Hvidkilde Gods, on the arterial road between Svendborg and Fåborg, is an ap74
pealing area with a very beautiful stretch of road with magnificent views and several historical buildings. The bicycle project will in its entirety be developed in and behind old avenues, along the road, and by Hvidkilde Lake. At present the stretch is strained by narrowed road profiles and bad views of the roads. Traffic safety measures have been instituted on several occasions, without significant improvements of the conditions, however. The task identifies through a number of solution alternatives how the conditions for cyclists can be considered in terms of increased traffic safety, how recreational environments can be improved, and how consideration of cultural heritage may be accommodated. Plans have been made for one-way bicycle lanes, two-way bicycle lanes, bicycle lanes in their own tracks, and bicycle lanes along the road. Where the conditions are most narrow, by Hvidkilde Lake and the draw-door weir by Røde Mølle, the bicycle lane has been placed on a bridge on the lake itself.

ROUNDABOUTS
ROAD SYSTEMSIN OPEN LAND – ROUNDABOUTS IN JUTLAND 76
The landscape work includes preparation of sketches and aesthetic aid throughout the detail projecting. The assignment includes proposals for surfaces of passage areas, borders, plantation, and illumination. The surfaces of the passage areas are asphalt, inlaid with transverse lines of thermoplastic, in part to differentiate them from the road itself, and in part to demarcate specific zones because the roundabouts constitute an important element of the special transport corridors for windmill wings. The illumination is designed as wire-mounted lighting: eight electric fittings are hanging from wires distended between conical dark grey powder-lacquered pylons. In two of the roundabouts transparent fittings are used; from a distance these will help define the roundabout as a circle in the landscape. The plantation addresses the roundaboutsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; geometries and is adapted to the surrounding landscape in a way so as to accentuate the local particularity. 78

PARKING
CARPARKS At Schonherr we regard car parks as city spaces no less important than other squares and spaces. Car parks must contribute something other than providing room for parked cars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they should be an experience to use, whether they are merely somewhere to park your car or part of the view from your office or residence.

That is why we cooperate with artists and lighting designers on this kind of assignment, just like we constantly work out new programmes and concepts for parking spaces.

PARKING
HNG HNG is next to the new residential area Søborg Have in Gladsaxe. In connection with the construction of Søborg Have, HNG has been provided with additional space that is to be used for parking and storage for vehicles and materials. The idea is to organize the parking and storage needs around two long ribbons that follow the building to the west and the property line to the east. These ribbons are clearly marked out on the tarmac with yellow thermoplastic. By the 82
gate in the middle of the building a circular area is designated as turning space, and the individual parking booths are marked on the yellow ribbons with an HNG logo made of black Premark. The area is illuminated by tall pylons with spotlights. The decorations of the area help marking the transition from road and car park to storage space, and in terms of functionality this will make it easy to navigate and park.

MARGRETHE SQUARE AT SCANDINAVIAN CONGRESS CENTRE, AARHUS Margrethe Square redefines the parking space as a positive space, in which all elements, the surface, the line striping, and the lighting constitute elements of a coherent unity.

THE PRISM The landscape work includes arrival and parking facilities in connection with an office building in Aarhus as well as terrain processing and staircases to an elevated garden with terrace. The point of departure of this project is the experience of outdoor spaces as structures that equally well may be enjoyed from the upper stories of the Prism. Large oval shapes move in formation diagonally across the grounds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the car park as a graphic play on parking signatures made from thermoplastic, and in the roof garden as soft, green hills with Japanese cherry trees. 86

The view of the plant is not blocked for passers-by and Vejle municipality wishes to change this, so that the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visual dominance is toned down and the area obtains a higher level of attraction. The project comprises two elements: the quickset and the landscape installation.
BEFORE 98
The quickset consists of twin rows of poplars that coil themselves around the plant and create a conspicuous landscape element. The quickset is plane-geometrically constructed so that it shields and blurs the technical plant behind it and at the same time creates a gateway from the arrival road.
The installation consists of a circular plinth covered in green granite, seven painted steel poplars 12,5 metres high, two painted steel railings, and a light display embedded in the granite. The granite plinth is slightly elevated above the terrain and constitutes the base of the poplars. The plinth appears as a perfectly circular space, asymmetrically traversed by a small stream. To support the installationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enrolment in the landscape, the foreground and the middle ground of the plant are designed as a rocky and grassy plain demarcated by the quickset. In one of the steel poplars a white light diode with a bevelled lens is places â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a small tiara in the greenery. A computer-controlled light display is fitted in the granite. The display will, one letter at a time, make up a message for the patient visitor. The text has been written especially for this installation by poet Peter Laugesen. The landscape installation attempts, in a high-frequency time, to provide space for the moment

The waste deposit at the former gravel pit at Glatved on Djursland is the central gathering point for waste from all of eastern Jutland. Re-establishing plans spanning 80 to 100 years are at the movement in progress. Therefore there is a need for an overall plan that ensures a simple and long-lasting landscape-architectural idea compensating for the long term horizon of the project. The landscape project includes planning for reestablishing the area, in preparation of the development of different types of natural environments that adjust to the soil conditions and the surrounding landscape â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including a focus on the historical and important aspects of the area. It is possible to read the history of the whole area through a series of specific traces in the landscape: the trace of an agricultural presence through old field boundaries, the traces from the extraction of raw materials (chalk, gravel, and stones) as deep scars in the landscape, 102
and marks from former re-establishment of old waste deposits and waste dumps of the surrounding municipalities. Schonherr works with themes that focus on the changeability of the landscape as an integral part of the modern industrial society in interplay with the interminable horizon of hills and heights and fissures leading to the interior of the earth.

COMPANYPROFILE
SCHONHERRCOMPANY PROFILE STRUCTURE AND LEADERSHIP Schonherr is a Danish practice and was founded in 1984. The company is led by the partners 足Torben Sch淡nherr, Nina Jensen and Rikke Juul Gram. Together they fulfill the role as chief executives of design and overall management. Martin Larsen Nielsen is chief manager of 足Schonherr 足Infrastructure. 104
Schonherr has 2 divisions, in Aarhus and in Copenhagen, and employs 50 landscape architects, architects, and technical staff. Schonherr is a member of Danish Association of Architectural Practices (Danske Ark) FOUNDATION In keeping with this knowledge and obligation, Schonherr makes every effort to operate between the poles of tradition and re-invention, acknowledging the dichotomies of the landscape, as it evolves dynamically and slowly at the same time. Our goal is to integrate this knowledge and insight as the fulcrum of our work, regardless of place and volume, and to maintain a simple and poetic cardinal idea throughout the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different phases. In all our assignments we weigh the nexus between the smallest and biggest scale. We em-
phasize the significance of complete solutions that bring value to the entire community. We seek to create spaces and elements that are obvious, natural, and indispensable to the totality, functionally as well as architecturally. Whether the landscape appears as dynamically urban contexts, littoral wilderness, or huge agricultural expanses, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a part of our collective heritage and cultural tableau. At the same time the landscape provides the platform for a society in continuous progress â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one might say it offers reflections on a changing reality. PRACTICE Schonherr has extensive experience within all fields of architecture. Planning, urban renewal and analyses, landscape design, public spaces and parks, residential areas, cemeteries and gardens, as well as infrastructure and port constructions. The site and its potential are our point of departure.
Schonherr participates continually in national and international competitions, independently or in cooperation, and a considerable part of our assignments is a result of these architectural competitions.
