Masterplaner & Urban Designer in Copenhagen

Auf AEG Nord

Masterplan / Nürnberg, DE

Close collaboration with municipal team

validating decisions during the process

Weaving industrial heritage, nature, and 21st-century mixed-use quarters, Gehl was invited to develop a masterplan on the former AEG production site near the Pegnitzauen nature corridor.

The design combines the qualities of Nuremberg‘s medieval city center with the industrial architecture of the former AEG factory to create a new quarter with a human scale and strong identity.

By working closely with the municipality, instead of creating an oversized open space as originally planned, we created a sequence of spaces, that function as a backbone for the development.

The masterplan was submitted to the municipality and quickly approved without the need for a last revision

Masterplan / Bristol, UK

An evaluation of the existing masterplan lead to this collaboration with Allies and Morrison to redesign the masterplan at a former airport where Concords were built, close to thousands of local job opportunites and a direct rail connection to London.

The low density defined by zonning code was a threat to creating a vibrant neighborhood. We advised the client with arguments to increase from 2650 to 5000 homes, and create an opportunity to tackle the housing crisis and traffic gridlock.

Flugfeld

Masterplan / Neumarkt, DE

Designing a new neighborhood in a town of 40.000 residents was the platform for helping solve Neumarkt’s most diverse challenges, such as housing affordability and the migration of young Neumarkters.

A former aerosports airport located beside the medieval inner city becomes a platform for social and political objectives. We designed five initial concepts and engaged with the population to comment on the qualities and activities they want there (LP2). The preferred scenario will be developed further in 2022 (LP3).

Vision Objectives

1000+ shared opinions about progressive urban models they want in the Flugfeld

Pilot Locations at Rue de La République

Rue de la Ré

Public Space Plan / Lyon, France

Rue de la République is the main shopping street in Lyon, but footfall is decreasing. Gehl won first prize in a competition to re-design Lyon’s main shopping street and central public space followed by a conceptual design. Acupunctural interventions to create more places to spend time, activities, play, and flows. It included a set of urban furniture clusters, landscape design, pedestrian upgrades at a key intersections, and a concept for the main square, Place de la République.

Place de la Ré

Public Space Design / Lyon, France

Place de la République has been designed further in collaboration with the Municipality. The project aims to support a lively public realm and civic life, instead of a place where most are just passing by.

The strategy has been concentrating the flows in the middle, where people would naturally pass by.

We reinterpreted the existing water feature with a more immersive experience, at a suited location. Here is the preferred of the three landscape concepts created.

Organize flows and new leisure spaces

Conceptual Diagram: flows, resting areas and character

Concentrate flows around while unlocking comfortable space to wait for transportation.

Metro, trams, and buses connect at the Plärrer Platz, which needed a new lid for its metro. How can you design a square to both function as a transport hub and an attractive entrance to the historic inner city and the green corridor around it?

The new design organizes pedestrian flows and transport infrastructure, to create new spaces. It included central space by matured trees, varied activities, and safe crossings. It included a new office for the transport controllers, lifted above the tram tracks.

The project reestablishes a historical square that was lost in overengineered infrastructure. From... To...

Conceptual Parameters: flows, resting areas and climatic comfort

From a back of the city to a welcome arrival to the historic intercity

From an asphalt desert to a green part of the old town ring road

From a chaotic traffic island to a simple sustainable traffic solution

Station Square

Public Space Design / City in Latvia

As part of a long-term mobility strategy to reduce cars in the city center, new trams needed to be integrated into the Central Station. We were asked to redesign the station square, tram stations, streets and intersections. The Riga team developed the key recommendations, that provided a design parameters. I supported the team with the conceptual design of the square, intersection, tram stops and more, to be used on the political approval process.

Conceptual Parameters: flows, surface, and activities

Well integrated, attractive, and safe spaces for transportation and leisure

66% of the space, today is influenced by car traffic and we worked with traffic engineers to create a better balance

Social housing projects at the old port in Rio through grass roots movement

Previous Experiences in Architecture

Between 2002 and 2010 I have worked with experienced architects, designing buildings, restauration, apartment renovation and follow construction

Designing and building using reclaimed material from demolished historical buildings

Rio de Janeiro / 2006-2010

Social housing (retrofit and newly designed)

French architects visiting Rio, introduced me to a grassroots movement focused on occupying abandoned government buildings in the city center in Rio, that has been emptied since the transfer of Brazilian capital from Rio to Brasilia. The movement found a loophole in the law that prevented eviction, therefore providing free housing for families living under the poverty line.

To acquire the title and funding for renovation, an architecture project was required for one of the buildings (1). I created a workshop with students and

Apartment renovations, homes, restaurants and civic uses

Helio Pellegrino as an artist and architect pioneered the movement of using recycling building material in Brazil. He created high-end spaces, that exhale warmth, a tropical aesthetic, and integration with the natural landscape.

For that, we bought demolished homes and our team of artisans was able to enhance the material’s natural beauty and patina of time.

Every project started with doors and windows, and then spaces and dimensions followed that. Crumbled tiles often became murals, floors, and landscape features.

My role was to develop the architect sketches into technical drawings and illustrations, creating spaces, lamps, and furniture. I also lead a small team of interns. The process of using reclaimed material required me to be regularly present at the construction site to guide work. The architect due

young architects and this experience lead us to create to social entrepreneurship called Chic da Silva.

The voluntary work received lots of media and lead to an experimental program within the municipal housing department, for seven other occupations at the old port (2) and new social housing in the same area (3).

My role was to develop the start the movement, be part of the association with 5 other partners, develop projects and facilitate work sessions with the residents. The experience lasted for 6 years, and was discontinued due to a new political agenda and lack of funding.

to age and lifestyle has chosen to focus on the murals, paintings and lamps, so the architecture studio was closed after nearly 30 years. Selected work

Civic use at historical context

Part of the renovation of the museum island in Berlin has commissioned a new entrance to the Pergamon museum, where the Egyptian artifacts are exhibited. The master architect has created a contemporary building using the proportions and vocabulary of classic architecture. We worked in an isolated team, due to the secret character of the project.

My role was to build 1:25 models and be present at the work sessions with the founder and partners to adapt the models. The building is fully functional and can be visited today.

Floating public spaces that clean water bodies

Barra da Tijuca in Rio de Janeiro has an estuary with natural water bodies intertwined with the dense urban context. The lack of sanitation means that raw sewage is discarded on the river and lagoons, still today. To raise awareness of the issue and create solutions to mitigate the pollution, the Berlin-based environmental engineers with vast

experience in landscape restoration, created the floating platforms with vegetation that remove micronutrients from sewage. It combined floating pathways that allowed maintenance and a pleasant walk for a cardominated public realm.

My role was to translate the engineering prototypes into an attractive design and create illustrations that explain the concept.

The studio no longer exists due to the advanced age of the founders.

Design school at a old cassino

In 2005, Rio was one of five short-listed cities in the world for a new branch of the worldly known Italian design school. The designer and architect Ado Azevedo once worked and taught have invited me to join his effort to with a pitch and, develop the project.

Through a dialog with Rio’s municipality, we were granted the abandoned casino located at a prime location under the iconic “sugar loaf”. This building has been a breeding ground of Brazilian music and dramaturgy, as it hosted the best theater of South America and later, the first Brazilian TV network. Our work convinced IED founder to invest 9 million euros in building restoration and retrofitting.
