Fiskerihavnen Kirkegård

This small empty block in the Fiskerhavn is surrounded by a colourful, textural display of informal settlement and old industrial structures. A cell tower has recently been erected at the northern of the site which holds a strong vertical presence in an other wise low rise environment. The site is shaped by a traffic island to the east which gives the site a unique form and flow. Edges are defined by large boulders in place of blockades, these designate bike lanes and carparking.

A variety of old streetlamps (red) shed light and identity onto the site and are a defining feature of the neighbourhood. Like the boulders they help to define edges but also act as landmarks in the landscape.
