STUDENTWORK

Refshaleøen

Mixed-use development, Diploma project

Copenhagen, Denmark

This diploma project is concerned with the site of Refshaleøen in Copenhagen and how a proposal of buildings would enhance the identity of the place, attract more people while maintaining the qualities of the old industrial area. A continued investigation of the conditions on Refshaleøen were based on the existing constructions/buildings, traffic situation, proportions, and scale of the built environment.

A concept relating to the site on an urbanistic level was developed while also focusing on certain central areas of the huge site. As an approach a grid was chosen to serve as a rule for the buildings and additions to the existing structures. This also helped in planning connections between the loosely placed existing buildings. The diverse group of businesses and associations that have claimed the facilities do this for specific reasons such as the functionality of the spaces and the relatively low rent. By looking at the varied use of materials and structures the proposition can adapt and be able to create flexible spaces for future use.

Concept

The concept is based on a simple but effective prefabricated concrete frame that can be added upon in the future and used for various functions. Since it is impossible to predict what uses will be in demand in the future the structure serves to the changing needs through its generality. An example of housing and green spaces are added to the structure to display possible uses.

The aim is thus to create variation and possibilities for living and working within this ”megaform”. If this would prove to be successful a possible development on other sites would be possible. The main prerequisite is to build the structure slowly over time in order not to deter the current residents of Refshaleøen from its unique location, openness, and free do-it-yourself attitude. The proposal is in the end a contribution to the debate about the development on Refshaleøen and whether a full-scale expansion should take place there and if so to what degree.

Concept - Structure

The building volumes are divided by function and connected through walkways or open spaces on various levels. This horizontal organization together with the vertical communication through the building is shown in following diagrams.

Firstly the volumes where placed on site in certain a given orientation. Then the cores are added at certain intervals for vertical communication with elevator and staircases, after this larger rooms are inserted into the elongated structure and break the monotony. Also passages and smaller rooms are added for variation and as functional necessity.

The smaller volumes towards the south visually break down the long horizontal structure and takes it down to the urban farm. In the central area the buildings are placed in accordance to the functions of the surrounding buildings and how they can add value to them. As well as the entrance building which houses a café, exhibition and information center for Refshaleøen.

Additive principle with walkways and volumes

Construction/Function

A grid covering the site plan is the foundation for the pillar-slab system from which the building volumes are constructed. It is a grid of 6x6m, because of the flexibility it offers for spaces but also to span greater areas. It is divisible to smaller units as 3x3, which is also found in the buildings analysed on site as the administration-building. Also the floor height is applied as it can be connected to the fire station and new changing rooms.

The construction is prefabricated concrete pillars with haunches that carry the beams and prefab hollow core slabs which are 1,2m in width och 5,7m in length. Thus five elements cover a 6x6 square. When greater distances need to be spanned a aluminiumframe can carry the roof as in the case of the multi hall showd in figure.

The grid and the construction allows a siteplan to be populated by volumes and buildings more easily and rationally. It also makes it possible to stack smaller volumes such as the ones approaching the urban farm area. An economicallly viable construction which due to the hollow core slabs and floor heights aswell as the material can whitstand the test of future uses over time. And serve many different purposes/functions.

Contextualization

In order to revitalize and add to the old shipyard it was necessary to involve the current businesses and groups active in the central buildings. Thus the idea came to connect the ’megaform’ to the existing buildings and merge the functions or supplement what is already there. So the three central buildings form a node with the new additions which is servicing an educational, recreational and economical need.

Double ceiling height serves for a workshop, studio or store in the future structure. The office function and the rentable spaces can agreeably be connected to the current recreation area like the beach-volley part.

In Context Geological Museum

Helsingborg, Sweden

Excerpt from bacelor thesis from stdio architecture in contex. The project stems from the specific characteristics of the landscape element “Landborgen” which can be incorporated into the public space in a new way. By working in the lengthwise section the goal was to connect east and west, to turn the stairs and platform into a destination.

The addition of a museum linked to the history and geology of the unique landscape transforms the place into more than just a passage with stairs. It catches the eye of the passer by from the shopping street and invites them to discover the rich history connected to the landscape. The building terraces also offer additional views back to the city center.

Since the café opens up towards the platform a exciting place is created where the passage and museum building meet. This creates a space where one can reflect on the location within the landscape and on the city.

The building is constructed of concrete slabs that are transposed in a way so that a path is created through the museum which enables the visitor to discover the inside of the rock/landscape while walking in between concrete walls that are like the perforated sheets of the rock.

MiniLIB

District Library

Western Harbour - Malmö, Sweden

The pier is a branch library in the Western Harbour located on an attractive location in the southwest corner of the Bo01 area. The library will become a meeting place for residents and an interesting addition to tourists and visitors. This through nice patios and a great view even from inside the building.

The library creates a small passage to the “square” in front of the cafe. It twists also around a new space formation which has a paved surface and is a extension of the existing wooden deck. The building has a long roof that extends out into the sea and stands on wooden poles. The wooden deck and the stakes relate to the sea and become a symbolic pier.

The roof is also eleveated creating slats of glass which give additional light to the main hall and is part of the concept of moved concrete slabs to direct and create views of the surroudings.

The building has large glass windows facing west and overlooking the sea. Along with the libraries northerly direction new seating is placed for the restaurant to attract even more tourists.

Tall Wood+

Multistorey Housing, Seestadt Aspern - Vienna, Austria

The large urban development project - Aspern seestadt in Vienna is the site for the Tall Wood+ project. The project sets out to investigate what can be achieved with modern wood building techniques in order to create a sustainable architecture, truly regarding all three aspects of the term: social, economic and ecological.

The idea was all along to create a flexible and open building. Meaning that there should be a variety of appartments with good qualities. An early idea was to terrace the building with setbacks so that the isolated volume can relate to the lower buildings nearby and the railway. This together with a public ground floor with entrance towards the mass transport, rooftop terrace and generous balconies should make the building more inviting.

The framing method chosen for the construction allowed for varied floor plans and as such it was possible to create appartments varying from 25-100m2. The 5x5m grid provides an improved economy to the project. The balconies are mostly SW and SE facing with a protective wall towards the N, NW where the winds mostly come from.

The facades are covered with a vertical wooden paneling and the posts continue up through the roof terrace which provide a hint of the wood construction. Concrete is used for the core wich houses the corridor, stairwell and elevator shafts. Also the outer walls of the bottom floor are concrete for extra stability.

A public café and business are located on the ground floor facing towards the promenade and the station building. Thus helping to connect the building not only in material but also in use to the future urban environment surrounding the U-bahn station. One of the gates to the soon to be thriving Aspern district.

Cohabitation

Conceptional design for human-animal interaction

Hamburg, Germany

Hamburg’s harbor welcomes goods and ideas from around the world. As it is one of the busiest ports in Europe, it is considered a “gateway to the world.” Not only is it a port for human related activities, it is also a port for the house martin.

House martins call Hamburg home during the months of May through September. During this period of time, the house martin’s quick movements give a sense excitement and interest to the sky. The presence of house martins is an understated token to the city. Throughout the year many events take place in the city. People are drawn to the city to experience Hamburg’s unique atmosphere. The ability to celebrate the homecoming and presence of house martins brings yet another opportunity to the people of the city.

House martins are small blue and brown birds. They feed on insects in flight, particularly over water. House martins are known for their unique nests. They collect mud in their beaks and build small convex domes under the eaves of buildings.

House martins live in temperate northern climates in the summer and southern climates in the winter. There is a substantial house martin presence in Hamburg, but with a few adjustments and provisions, house martin populations will be able to grow in this urban environment.

The concept to increase interaction or cohabitation between humans and these birds was through a series of urban furniture installations based on a grid structure. In three different sites next to the canal where the birds prefer to stay the nesting, building and feeding aspects where researched and adpated to human involvement.

Timeline of House Martin activity during the year:

Eating

Building

Nesting

Furniture

After discovering the present situation of the House Martins in Hamburg we realized that additional structures could be added to the existing architecture and urban situations in order to increase the interaction between the birds and citizens of Hamburg.

At the Herrengrabenfleet three different sites could be suitable for an interaction. We found that a uniform architectural language serves the purpose of educating the citizens of the present installations and tie them together. The Modules are based on a 1x1m grid with a height of 500mm per module. The exception being the nesting structure which is fitted to the gap between the pillars in the arcade.

A variation of modules suited for human use: cimbing, sitting, lyingdown were designed. For the birds, modules are in place to serve them building materials, plants that attract insects and specially made insect- boxes/modules from which insects can be manually released by opening the side panel.

Co-Habitation Furniture

Building

At the site of the Michaelisbrücke the House martins can pick up some much needed building material from mud boxes while children building sandcastles and adults enjoy the commerce and cafés in the square. Water flows through a jungle gym and planting structure. The water serves multiple purposes: it waters the plants, gives water to children building sand castles and provides mud for House Martins to use when building their nests.

Nesting

The nest boxes in the arcade along the canal provide a new place suited for house martin nests as well as a place for humans to observe and occupy the same space as the house martins. As a solution to the droppings planting boxes have been placed below the nests to collect the droppings. The artificial boxes in the arcade also serve as seating and view points for humans.

Eating

The insect boxes enable the controlled release of insects for the birds to feed on and at the same time offers the guests at the café who are engaging in a similar activity views of the birds hunting. The previously inactive stairs also become a natural seating for the viewing of the house martins during this process.

Watching

The flight of the House Martins from their nests to the building material and feeding sites creates an interesting spectacle to be watched by people. Certain urban furniture can be installed which are suitable for this pastime and can be easily moved to places where the birds are most active.

Bird Watching

Bird Tracking/Motion Sensor (Fall/Winter)

The house martin is a migratory passage bird which breeds in Europe, north Africa and temperate Asia; and winters in sub-Saharan Africa and tropical Asia. The house martin flies with a flight speed of 11 meters per second and a wing beat averaging 5.3 beats per second. This is being represented in winter during their migration. In the winter a light show above the canal represents the path and speed at which the birds fly in the summer.

Projecting Birds (Fall/Winter)

Projecting

At night, during the fall and winter, the birds are represented by projectors that play a visual show. The nest structures are outfitted with projectors that display on the opposite office facade at night. This shows the birds in motion during their migration. Since the nest structures have seating in the bottom, one or two persons could sit and also hear an audio playback of the birds in action. This way you could be fully immersed in the world of the house martin even though they are not in Hamburg during the winter.

Closed Cavity Facade

Exercise in collaboration with architecture and civil engineer students. Theme: Facade development for an office building, located in Frankfurt am Main. The main focus of the exercise was to review and further elaboration on a facade concept. For this case Closed Cavity Facades were investigated and adapted into a own floorplan.

The goal was a simple high-rise floor plan with function-oriented core. The core also serves to reinforce the building. Aspects of heating, thermal loads, ventilation and lighting had to be treated along with the structural aspects of the floorplan. Division of pillars and length of beams according to grid which serves the function of an office building.

Some functional aspects were implemented in the design for example thermally activated concrete deck that store low nightly temperatues in embedded water pipes which then help keep the floor cooler during the day.

The general benefits of ccf-systems were fount to be high energy performance, good thermal insulation, increased protection from solar heat gains. There is a high initial cost although that could possibly be weighed up by lower life cycle costs. This is still not known as these systems haven’t bee around for that long. The elements might need replacing more or less often.

Urban plan for Lilla Råby, Lund

A group work in city planning concerning the old industrial area of Lilla Råby. The area has vast unused spaces and is in need of additional structure to give life and reestablish its connection to the city centre. This was enabled by adding increasing cutural value and adding recreational/ sports areas as a part of a more varied assortment of possible activities.

In the heart of Lilla Råby a park was planned in the east-west orientation which cuts through by the existing communication path ‘Hardebergaspåret’. Tree lined avenues with gravel and paving on the ground create a natural public space. The park establishes and axis and connects the sports area in the east with the more dense western area containing housing and facilities.

The added housing in the western part adds value through varied facilities and shops at ground floor level. There is a mix of housing consisting of row houses, apartment buildings, student flats and 65+ housing.
