Resumé Oskar Frelin oskarfrelin@gmail.com +45 2682 9097

I am a Swedish landscape architect, living in Copenhagen. I completed my Bachelor in Uppsala in 2014, and graduated from Copenhagen University in 2016, after an exchange semester at KADK. Since then I’ve been working in Copenhagen for almost three years. I’ve been working on multiple projects, including courtyards, public housing renovations, a pavillion, a new 26.000 m2 park and some competition entries. I like to work with a variety of projects, in different contexts, scales and with different motives. During the past three years of working in the industry, I’ve mainly been involved in the late phases of the assignments, solving terrain, materials, and construction details and lastly, finishing off the projects.

Oskar Frelin

I am very fond of, and prefer, working in teams since I believe great ideas always benefit from the collaboration with skilled people. I hope to find a good new work environment to keep on developing as a landscape architect and to contribute to the office.

Type Year Location Site My role

Competition for waterfront urban plazas 2019 BOGL in collaboration with Swedish artist Gunilla Bandolin Oceankajen, Helsingborg Together with partner J. Linnet and coworker A. Falkentoft, I sketched and developed the concepts for these two plazas. By the end of the sketching process, I was responsible for the visualizations prior to the final hand-in, and was part in the presentation in front of the municipality.

Oceankajen Helsingborg

Two urban waterfront plazas in collaboration with Swedish artist

O Oceankajen is an old harbour industrial area in central Helsingborg. The municipality is currently developing the area as a new neighbourhood and are for this project raising the old quay with 1,5 meters of new soil. The aim of the competition was to create new urban plazas with public art and to bring back historical traces to the area, that have gradudally disappared over time. The transformation of the site had to reintroduce the history of the place. Our two sites aim to bring back the connection with water and history. One, by extending the dock into an elevated net that extends out over the water. This adds an exploratory way of moving over the quay edge, as well as prodving a hint of playfulness for both young and old.

Both places have a water feature, which brings seawater up on the pavement via small fountains. We also worked with lighting and used the night sky as a motif. The artist G. Bandolin has created to art works called ‘Microcosmos’. She imagined that this site was once a ‘microcosmos’ within the city, when locals met different cultures and languages through the ships and the sailors. Words collected from the past have been cut into thick metal plates, one lying down and one raised vertically. Together they form a sculpture and local landmark on the site. Oskar Frelin

At the other site, an organic landscape staircase breaks the hard surface and

creates an intimate room to hang out and view the ferries and skyline of Helsingborg.

The two plazas stand out from the rest of the harbour with black stone paving with a gradient texture - rough closer to the ocean and gradually smother toward the buildings. A white concrete organic staircase functions both as the means to come closer to the water and a seating among the trees to look out over Helsingborg city. The smaller plaza has a balcony with a mesh net, letting people take a step out over the dockside an walk elevated over the water.

Lanternen Pavillion and outdoor kitchen for Copenhagen Municipality city transformation Valby

Circumstances Year Where Site My role

Construction 2018-2019 BOGL Kulbaneparken, Valby To develop the project from sketch to construction drawings. Budget management. Supervision of model building.

L I got onboard on the project when there was already a 3D sketch and a rough idea for the plan. My task was to develop the pavillion into something that could be built for the limited budget that we had available. This meant going through options of materials, finding out technical limitations and coming up with solutions for the construction, furniture etc. I was on the project all the way through to the building permits and finalizing construction drawings and lastly supervision through the construction.

Lanternen is ’the first meeting place’ in the city renewal in Valby, where locals can meet the members of the city transformation team and have a dialog through the process. Our design is a 10 meter tall open pavillion with and an outdoor kitchen, seating for 40 people, a tree in the center and 50 allotment gardens surrounding the new pavillion. The shape is inspired by the gasometers situated nearby, but exploded in 1964. The pavilion is constructed by 12 bend black steel bars that sit on a concrete slab. In each section the roof is slit up onto 7 polycarbonate plates, that act as weather protection, whilst still letting in lots of light. Further down, wooden lamella create a façade open to the surroundings.

Open competition ‘Ruins·Rebirth’ 2017 Consevation of ruin city Dongjingyu Village, China Gerard O’Connell

The Dongjingyu Village Regeneration was a design competition a friend and I completed just after we both graduated from KU. Dongjingyu Village is a cultural landscape and a site of historical significance, due to traces left in the landscape from centuries of human inhabitation. Post · Nature aims to rejuvenate the site and allow access for future generations to visit and experience this tremendous landscape. Post · Nature creates a circular stage to witness the dynamic evolution of the natural landscape as it works to erase the footprints of old; a new future is created by nature itself.

Healing Bagmati Revitalizing the riparian zone

Master Thesis 2016 Copenhagen University Green strategy and river revitalization Bagmati River, Kathmandu, Nepal Peter Lundsgaard Hansen Kathrine Brandt Jens Hansen Holm

H Healing Bagmati was my Master Thesis project. It all started with a visit to Kathmandu the year before I started my studies to become a landscape architect. The craziness that the urban development of the city is was somewhere back in my head, and when my collaborator Jens and I started to look for a project for our Master Thesis, we decided to look into Kathmandu and its river, The Bagmati. In the beginning we had a very open mind to the assignment and tried to maintain a holistic approach. As we arrived to Nepal to start our two month long investigation of the city and its riverscapes, we started with the larger metropolitan scale and gradually zoomed into our site.

Oskar Frelin

The Bagmati Riverpark is designed in a master plan scale. We the focused on nine zoomed-in areas that we unfolded in greater detail and visualized what those spaces would look like. They all had some major elements in common, but each had their own programme related to the local conditions. By doing so we tried to enhance the use and characteristics of each area in the design process. The project was divided into five chapters, as listed to the right, to provide a sense of scale.

Oskar Frelin

The outcome was a green strategy for the city of Kathmandu, where the revitalization of the river became the catalyst and the framework for the green transformation of the city. As the main driver for this green vision was the proposal of the city park; Bagmati River Park. Transforming the void, the polluted river, into a recreational green space and thereby heal the divide of the city.

On the banks of the channel cutting off the Falsterbo peninsula from the mainland, the municipality had proposed a possibility for new housing area. The area already has many single family homes, but alternatives are few if you want to move to an apartment. The competition was with architects and a developer, both with high intentions of the quality of the architecture. Today, the area hosts a pine forest, typical for Southern Swedish coastal landscapes. The teams were obliged to protect the trees and support the growth of the forest. Therefore if one tree was taken down, it had to be replaced by two new trees. Hence, our main idea for the landscape was to save as much as we could, and place the buildings in such a way that they fit into their surroundings.

A raised boardwalk leads the residents to their home through the forest floor. Small bridges create a connection to the water in the channel. A new square is created around the old bridge control tower with spaces for outdoor seating and a small stage.

First Step Two squares connected by an interactive installation

F The 2015 Oyster Competition had the tagline ‘Erase or Embrac’e, and the objective was to locate a barrier in a city and work with it in an innovative way. I wanted to explore what digital technology in the public space could do in the interaction with the visitors. I decided to work with Jerusalem and Ramallah and two squares that used to lie only 30 minutes apart, but today are impossible to reach for some members of society.

East Jerusalem

Two white slabs are placed on each square, registering the footsteps on one square and in real time transmitting and projecting these footprints on the other side of the wall. The installation aims to give a new way to interact between to borders who have a significant issue to do so today.

Kalveboden Archipelago The rising sea levels draw the boundary in the landscape Circumstances Year Programme Site Tutor Examinor

9th semester exchange at Landskabskunst, KADK 2015 Future floodings in an urban context Valby, Copenhagen Steen HĂ¸yer Lene Tranberg

K Denmark has a vast amount of low lying coast line. In a future with rising sea levels, we will not be able to protect it all, but how would that affect the coastal landscapes? The semester task on the KADK was work with sea level rise in the Kalveboden estuary in Southern Copenhagen. Our goal was to investigate how a one, two and three meters increase would affect this area. After doing many studies on how a dike would change the landscape, I decided to see how a flooded landscape could work with the sea level rise, and create a new type of archipelago landscape for the future. What functions could this new island landscape have, and how could you remain some control of the future development?

Our semester task on KADK was sea level rise in the Kalvebod estuary in Copenhagen. The object was to design for a future sea level rise of one, two and three meters. There were a lot of discussions on how to design the dike, but I wanted to investigate what possibilities you could get by not walling yourself in, but rather let the sea level rise determine a new type of archipelaco landscape, and how that could be used.
