cinark Målsætning

Gennem øgede forsknings- og undervisnings-

aktiviteter vil CINARK styrke skolens, uddan-

nelsens og fagets forståelse for og udnyttel-

se af det arkitektoniske potentiale, der ligger

i industrialiseret byggeri og i en design- og

videnbaseret byggekomponentindustri.

Et fokuspunkt er at udvikle byggeriet mod

miljømæssigt mere ansvarlige løsninger.

Det er endvidere hensigten at samle og for-

midle aktuel viden på området og styrke

dialogen mellem arkitekter, producenter

(industri og udførende parter) samt brugere

(bygherrer og slutbrugere) af bæredygtig

industriel arkitektur.

Forskning og undervisning fokuserer på

følgende temaer:

• Arkitektonisk udvikling af de enkelte byg-

ningsdele såvel som det samlede byggeri

gennem højindustrielle metoder og nye

materialer.

• Arkitektens rolle i byggeriets nye proces-,

organisations- og samarbejdsformer.

• Arkitektfagligt fokus på kvantitative,

kvalitative og miljømæssige fordele ved

byggeindustriens; styrede og optimerede

processer, serieproduktion, nye leverance-

former og øget kundetilpasning.

cinark object

Through increased research and teaching

it is CINARK’s aim to strengthen the school,

the architectural education and the archi-

tectural profession when it comes to the

use and understanding of the architectural

potential in the industrialised building indu-

stry. The question at stake is how to devel-

op the building industry towards advanced

sustainable solutions. These efforts include

a new organisation of the building industry;

new processes of manufacturing as well as

new design of building components. The

centre strives to build up and communicate

current knowledge in order to improve the

dialogue between architects, manufacturers

and users of sustainable industrial architec-

ture.

Research and education focuses on the

following themes:

• Architectural development of buildings

and building parts through highly indu-

strialised methods and materials.

• The changing role of the architect in new

building processes, business organisa-

tions and co-operational set-ups.

• Focus on quantitative as well as qualita-

tive potentials in mass production, new

ways of delivery and increased attention

to customer needs and expectations.

cinark

cinark afsæt

Dansk arkitektur og byggeindustri har behov

for at udvikle konkrete strategier for, hvor-

dan det industrialiserede byggeris arkitek-

toniske potentiale kan nyttiggøres ud fra

en bæredygtig optik. Dette med henblik på,

at Danmark kan indtage en international

styrkeposition inden for udvikling af moder-

ne miljørigtig arkitektur, med afsæt i en

design- og videnbaseret byggekomponent-

industri.

cinark opgave

CINARK udvikler, samler og koordinerer

forsknings- og undervisningsaktiviteter, som

angår den industrielle arkitekturs tilblivelse

med fokus på bæredygtige løsninger.

Centret har således til opgave at indkredse,

formulere og revidere de særlige begreber,

væsenstræk, metoder, processer og produk-

ter, som kendetegner en bæredygtig indu-

striel arkitektur. Hensigten er at belyse

såvel grundlæggende som aktuelle, problem-

stillinger og udviklingspotentialer. Centret

satser på et tæt samarbejde med bygge-

≠industri og byggeerhverv.

cinark background

Danish architecture and the Danish building

industry need to develop clear strategies in

order to take advantage of the architectural

potential linked to industrialised production

from a perspective that concerns environ-

mental responsibility. This in order to rank

Denmark in a leading position, when it

comes to developing contemporary sustain-

able architecture based on the design and

knowledge based building industry.

cinark task

CINARK develops, accumulates and co-

ordinates research and education activities

concerning the production of industrial

architecture from a sustainable point of

view. As a central activity - the centre out-

lines and revises those specific concepts,

characteristics, methodologies, processes

and products that define the field of sustain-

able Industrial Architecture. The object is

to clarify essential, as well as present-day

problems and potentials. The centre aims

at close collaborations with the building

industry and related businesses.
