Sahare Kasera
- a feministic fish market in Tanzania thesis project, 10th semester tutor: Thomas Chevalier Bøjstrup program & school: Architecture and Extreme Environments, KADK WHAT: The project is a remodelling of the Sahare Kasera hub for fisheries in Tanga in Tanzania. Additional programmes in the form of seaweed and oyster farming – as well as processing facilities – aims to add value to locally sourced produce, which would otherwise be sold off with minimal profit. The enhancement of this landing site is made from a woman’s perspective, with an aim to promote equality through professional and financial empowerment. This is an investigation of how the strive for gender equality could shape architecture and its program. WHY: In the Tanzanian fishing industry, women are to some extent already well represented in the fields of processing and trade at a smaller scale. Seaweed farming is generally also considered a female livelihood, which acts as a good basis for increased empowerment. The activities and processes associated with this will function as the main point of reference for the development of the architectural language and logic of the project. The intention is not to create a building for females alone but instead provide equal opportunities for everyone. However, as women obviously don’t have the same favourable privileges as men - especially in Tanzania - it is important to address it directly by encouraging sectors that in turn will strengthen women’s position within the local communities in rural areas. The UN has stated that empowerment of women is key for poverty reduction. HOW: The architectural proposal will be based on obtaining an understanding of the fishing industry and the landing site in Sahare Kasera itself, as well as Tanzanian gender roles. The aim is thereby to create a site-specific building that responds to the socio-economic context as well as its environmental context. The architecture itself collects rainwater and embraces the changing environment in the meeting point between the sea, mangroves and the beach. The seaweed and oyster farms create a natural, almost sensory extension of the building through its relation to the landscape and the routines of the fishermen and farmers that daily drift between the sea and land.

The Water Pavilion
- rainwater harvesting & gender equality 1:1 built project, 9th semester tutor: Jakob Knudsen, David Garcia, Thomas Chevalier Bøjstrup & Marianne Hansen program & school: Architecture and Extreme Environments, KADK
The pavilion is an investigation into how the typical daily duties of women could be turned into social activities; while harvesting rainwater in the public realm of rural Tanzania. This is a project about gender equalities and its link to water, a key resource for life. The aim of the pavilion’s design is to also provide a new, more affordable way to harvest rain with locally sourced materials. The pavilion is built of affordable local accessible materials for rainwater harvesting (RWH) in rural north-east Tanzania, in Sub-Saharan Africa. The aim is to see how RWH could be done in the public realm in an alternative more affordable way as apposed to the expensive gutters that have to be implemented in a publicly- or privately-owned building. The research is conducted in Mpapayu, a small rural village 30km west from Tanga. A further intention of the project is to address the issue of women and children spending great amounts of time fetching for water. 1/3 of the world experiences water scarcity currently – physical or economic. Tanzania suffers of an economic scarcity, and by 2025 it is estimated to face physical water stress due to population growth, increased consuming. Due to climate change and the increasing temperatures the rain patterns are changing. Research predicts that as the temperature rise the rainfall will increase in Eastern Africa. The rainfall in Tanga in 2017 (Nov-May) was 140% more than the average rainfall of 30 years. The intentions by providing a direct local source of water, is to increase the knowledge levels by getting more girls to attend school. At the same time a water source functions as a natural meeting point, public space, for the women. Public spaces are important because they provide a platform for unintentional meetings and knowledge exchange, they play a key role in building sustainable, socially equal cities. At the pavilion the daily duties can easily be conducted in community when water is directly provided and does not need to be fetched from far away.

GUTTERS are the most common way of RWH in Tanzania but a building with a PROPER ROOF is NEEDED. To be able to do it in the PUBLIC REALM for a sizeable community the AMOUNT of public BUILDINGS is LIMITED and the price of the gutters is high. 20 L BUCKET costs 500 TSH (1,5 DKK) over 16 X the price of domestic tap water. As a consequence, low-income residents pay higher prices than their wealthy counterparts.

The Fresh Water Distillery
Jilantai Salt Lake Baths and Community Allotment Gardens building project, 8th semester tutor: David Garcia program & school: Architecture and Extreme Environments, KADK
This project’s intention is to appreciate the beauty of the salt lakes that brought about the birth of Jilantai, a small industrial town in the middle of the Gobi Desert in the Inner Mongolian region of Northern China, while creating an architecture that cleans water . An environmental challenge faced by Jilantai is its lack of available fresh water. The area has a cold, arid climate and no access to this essential resource – only the abundance of salt lakes. The Fresh Water Distillery will become an architecture built within this landscape, it is an building both functioning as a solar still and also capitalising on the natural evaporation occurring from the salt lakes, thereby providing potable water for the community. The distillery will mainly be powered by solar radiation - a reaction to both the frequent use of great amounts of energy used for the current production of drinkable water and the fossil fuel powered salt factories in the town. The technical principles applied to the Fresh Water Distillery will be derived from my research and work on solar stills conducted last semester through my investigatory device. The program will create a framework for an active and social community space with a pleasant humid environment, colourful salt lake gardens with allotments for growing vegetables, community kitchen and mineral baths for locals and visitors. Thus, it relates to the Chinese tradition of health and leisure and the revitalisation of this sector that the Chinese State Council is promoting. The project will embrace colour, provoked by the vividity of the salt lakes in its architecture and landscape to provide an alternative, improved experience – a contrast to the present grey and dusty characterisation of Jilantai. This deals with the notion of establishing the distillery as a culturally valuable institution through the ever-changing landart piece within the manufactured landscape. As opposed to the common model of derelict industrial buildings turned contemporary art gallery, the distillery aims to establish a symbiotic relationship between the two, somewhere in between the poetic and pragmatic. The program addresses the cultural tradition of exercising and understanding ancient Chinese human-ecological philosophy that still influences modern society in it’s strive for balance within and between man and nature.

Potable Brine - a sub-zero solar still
1:1 device, 7th semester tutor: Jakob Knudsen, David Garcia, Thomas Chevalier Bøjstrup & Marianne Hansen program & school: Architecture and Extreme Environments, KADK
In the arid salt lake areas in the Gobi desert fresh water is a scarcity. However, large quantities of water are constantly evaporating from the brine of the salt lakes, like in Jilantai, a small industrial town in the Inner Mongolian Gobi desert, organised around a salt factory. Here the temperature changes are large, air humidity very low, solar radiation great and sky coverage rarely existing. The winter temperatures can vary from -15°C during the night to +10°C in the afternoon. The project investigates the possibilities of exploiting the solar radiation by turning salty brine into potable water - to provide a source of drinkable water in a place where it otherwise would not exist. The aim was to build a passive energy solar still to address the lack of drinkable water and todays way of using huge amounts of energy to produce fresh water. The Potable Brine is a solar still adapted to the cold winter temperatures. It maximises the collection of solar radiation with reflectors and a black felt wick that increases the absorption surface. It is protected from the cold by an insulating shell and a Mylar covered duvet for the nights. Larger amounts of fresh water are achieved by cold bridges that cool down the condensation surface inside the device. During the first 26 hour test in Jilantai the still was able to transform 100ml of brine into 26ml of potable water in a 0,0042m3 sized dome meaning that the still would produce 6.2l per m3. The relative humidity levels increased up to 70% during the day while it was only 15% outside.

Surf n’ Turf
- a water-sports centre sheltered in the sand dunes bachelor project, 6th semester tutor: Aida Espanyol Vilanova school: Arkitektskolen Aarhus
SURF N’ TURF acts as a hub for local and visiting surfers in the windswept coastal town of Hvide Sande. First and foremost as a travel destination, offering accommodation and rentals, but also as an integral part of the local community, with a large multi-purpose space for civic activities, and a restaurant with an adjoining dune garden, cultivating edible plants and greenery from the local coastal tundra. By understanding, taking advantage and respecting the existing topography, the project blends into the natural context. Making the different levels of the center relate directly to the sand dunes, it seeks to minimize any alteration of the landscape. The buildings themselves are partially dug into the sand with massive concrete walls on one side, whilst opening up and being more playful on the opposite side.

Tileland
- a palimpsest waterfront practice-based research project, 5th semester tutor: Aida Espanyol Vilanova
On a sandstone waterfront of an old quarry on Mallorca the project seeks to combine the natural and cultural context, by form and material. A stepped waterfront landscape of concrete and traditional tiles improves the existing beach activities and creates smaller semi private areas for sitting, swimming and tanning. The design was developed by using old traces of a derelict pier as access points to the sea and areas for seating and sunbathing, etc. The levels of the landscape are designed following the topography to make it blend in with the site and to make the transition between the in-situ cast concrete and natural sandstone as smooth as possible. The continuity and direction of the landscape leads the users along the waterfront and making it easier to walk on the irregular surface.

1:1 MFM Sauna - a break from the chaos
designing and building a sauna for the culture festival in Aarhus, May 2013 private project
As a part of the urban street festival Mejlgade for Mangfoldighed (MFM) we created an area of sensory relaxation and a pause from the hustle and bustle in an adjoining backyard. I designed and built a sauna where one could rest, have fun, meet new people and warm up. The sauna was connected with a croquis stage, showing the beauty and naturality of naken skin. The simple 5,75m2 sauna was constructed using timber and OSB boards, situated in the middle of a quiet backyard next to the crowded festival with over 20 000 visitors.

1:1 Instant Aarhus - an inflatable city of plastic
building workshop, 3rd semester tutors: JosĂŠ Miguel de Prada Poole, Antonio Cobo and Izabela Wieczorek
A two week workshop experimenting with inflatable structures culminating in the construction of Instant Aarhus, an inflatable city inspired by a similar project made in Ibiza in 1971, called Instant City. Instant Aarhus was a common workshop for BA students at Aarhus School of Architecture in fall 2013. It was built in a week by 263 students using 1638 m2 of transparent polyethylene, 15 meters of zipper, 5 industrial fans, 84 manual staplers and a LOT of stables. The workshop was organaised and tutored by JosĂŠ Miguel de Prada Poole, Antonio Cobo and Izabela Wieczorek.

1:1 Joint Venture
- traditional craftsmanship meets digital fabrication building workshop, 3rd semester tutors: Rasmus GrønbÌk Hansen, Lars Holt and Martin Winther
A two-week hands-on workshop a total of ten post-and-beamelements were carried out in oak and finally joined together as a furniture-scaled structure unfolding a varied catalogue of splicing, connecting, mortise and tenon joints. This structure was created in a collaborative effort by Unit C (Laboratory for of Nordic Architecture) as an attempt to revitalise the adoration of wooden joinery, through the combination of traditional craftsmanship and digital fabrication.
