Abstract

NÆSTVED HARBOR

Anewurbanlandscapecreatedthroughthetransformation ofapost-industrialarea

Location: Næstved harbor, Denmark

This is an excerpt from our master thesis consisting of an analysis, vision and design proposal for Næstved Harbor’s transformation into a new recreational urban area, based on Næstved Municipality’s decision to relocate the industrial harbor and repurpose the site as a new urban area. The design proposal envisions the post-industrial harbor as a recreational urban space by establishing connections through the harbor to the surrounding city, revitalizing the area with landscape typologies, and enhancing its existing identity

The design proposal suggests a masterplan for the new urban area featuring a landscape plan, new built structures, recreational areas, preservation of the harbor’s identity, access to water, and improved connectivity. The transformation aims to merge the existing post-industrial harbor’s identity and qualities with a new urban landscape. This is achieved by preserving some existing built structures and transforming them into functions that support the urban environment and to preserve the harbor’s identity. New landscape typologies and green structures are introduced to create varied spatial expressions and enhance recreational areas. Residential areas are harmoniously integrated within the site by the new built structures, and access to water is improved through the addition of a harbor bath, promenades, and platforms. Connections are established both internally and with the surrounding city, physically through pathways and visually through materials and green structures.

Concept

The main concept for Næstved Harbor, derived from the vision for the design proposal, is divided into four components that together constitute a new harbor area with a connection between the qualities of the post-industrial harbor and the new urban landscape of Næstved Harbor.

Structures for the recreational urban spaces

These urban spaces are crucial elements of the site, contributing to social cohesion, environmental sustainability, cultural enrichment, and the overall well-being of residents. Within the site, there are urban spaces designed for everyday use, as well as spaces that serve as destinations for residents and visitors with specific purposes, such as event spaces, cultural venues, and recreational facilities, which often have the capacity to accommodate larger gatherings.

LINKEROEVER PARK

Abstract

Location: Antwerpen, Belgium

The aim of this project is to develop a landscape, site-specific design in Antwerpen, Belgium. The landscape design is named Linkeroever Park, located on Antwerp’s left bank beside the Schelde River, combines urban squares and a natural green wedge to create a harmonious urban park space. The entry squares, such as Marktplein and Gezichtspunt, offer activity areas with seating and scenic views of the city center and the Cathedral of Our Lady. Each square has a distinct, urban aesthetic, featuring light-colored tiles, concrete seating edges, and vibrant vegetation arranged in a grid pattern, including Prunus serrulata and Fagus sylvatica, adding color and contrast to the surrounding green spaces.

The park preserves its grand, historic trees, with grassy areas maintained at various lengths to create both open spaces and intimate, recessed clearings. The preserved reeds by the riverbank create a smooth transition from park to river, while historical features, such as the Sint-Annatunnel monument, emphasize the area’s heritage. The park’s path system includes primary and secondary gravel paths that connect the squares, with potential for tertiary paths formed naturally by visitors, enhancing connectivity throughout the park.

Abstract

Location: Copenhagen, Denmark

This project examines the application of design by management principles in an experimental street planting on Klaksvigsgade in Copenhagen’s Islands Brygge district. The planting, established in 2014, aims to create a dense, biodiverse pocket forest inspired by concepts like Miyawaki forests.

Located along a busy side street near Amager Boulevard, the planting shields pedestrians, cyclists, and building occupants from heavy traffic. With a budget of 100.000 DKK and covering 80 m², the site was prepared with renewed topsoil to enhance growing conditions. Approximately 300 saplings from five tree species—Pinussylvestris,Quercuspetraea,Sorbus aucuparia,Sorbusamericana , and Sorbustorminalis were planted in close rows, complemented by flowering cover crops in 2014. This innovative approach reimagines traditional street tree planting to foster rapid growth, density, and biodiversity in an urban environment.

This project examines how dense urban planting is expected to develop in the future using minimal management tools

Sustainable management and development

The experimental street planting in Copenhagen, established in 2014, is managed annually through collaboration between the municipality and university students. This management involves observing tree vitality, removing dead or poorly performing trees, and enhancing the ground layer with perennial plants. The goal is to develop and maintain a dense pocket forest with vertical layering, comprising crown, understory, and ground layers, while preserving biodiversity.

Future management aims to ensure the planting remains vibrant and functional until 2065 by thinning weaker trees, supporting dominant species like Pinus sylvestrisand Quercuspetraea , and maintaining perennial cover crops. Projections assumes the planting will evolve to 39 trees by 2040 and 20 by 2065, reflecting natural competition and careful management. Volunteer growth and self-sowing trees will be encouraged to sustain diversity and density. This management approach supports a visually and ecologically robust urban forest.

FLOODPLAIN PARK RIBE

Adialoguebetweennaturalandcultivatedlandscape

Abstract

Location: Ribe Østerå, Denmark

In this project, we explore Esbjerg Municipality plans to restore the natural hydrology of Ribe Østerå and address the increasing flood risks caused by more frequent and intense rain events while also reducing carbon emissions from the area’s rich soils.

This project builds on the municipality’s plan by proposing the creation of a large-scale Floodplain Park along Ribe Østerå, extending from Ribe to Varming. The timeline illustrates how the masterplan could be realized with the suggestions for combining flood protection, ecological restoration, and sustainable land use. Local farmers will collaborate to reduce cattle numbers, establishing the Ribe Highland Cattle Federation to manage the area and produce ecological meat. The park’s edge will be reinforced to protect Ribe from flooding, and drainage systems will be closed to enhance biodiversity. Reforestation will start with small tree clusters, allowing natural growth over time. Stork poles and grazing cattle will maintain the area, supporting birds and the river’s natural hydrology.
