Fig. 21.7 Jens Kongstad Olesen Y4, ‘A Record of Change’. A Radiographic perspective. Redevelopment plan for a local community theatre in Somers Town. Incorporating the previous life cycles and history of the existing building in the new design proposal. Fig. 21.8 – 21.9 Charlotte Reynolds Y4, ‘The Pocket Park Prototype’, Copenhagen. Setting out a precedent for government funded ‘pocket parks’ to provide public space in designated vacant urban plots under 5000sqm, responding to the artificial construct of the city. Manipulation of the existing artificial land produces a series of incremental and ‘unfinished’ parks across Copenhagen of which certain elements will be inherited by future site development. A language of excavation and relocation of earth allows the site mass to remain constant throughout.
Fig. 21.10 Antonia Tkachenko Y5, ‘Copenhagen Arts Terrain’. Exploration of an architectural language derived from mobile experiences of the urban fabric. This approach is employed in revitalising a disused railway terrain in Copenhagen’s Vesterbro into a vibrant terrain dedicated to local arts initiatives. Architectural space is derived from a series of moving viewpoints and frames, such as the railway carriage. The proposal forms a dual relationship with the users, engaging with both the global and neighbourhood speeds and timescales.
