STEELSCAPEPROCESS DIARY

WEEK ONE

Triple runs

The model and the titel refeers to the group concept, with its three structures crossing the denced city, combining urban structures with the blue and green elements surrounding the city.

Individual models.

Bringing the four models togeth-at and talking about the project as a group, we realized that we in general want to reconnect the city and create a distinct center with clear and defi ned structures leading to the surrounding areas. We will do this by working with the expression and design of the canals at certain locations, which is refl ected in the model as three distinct lines and a dense city center.

The concept is based on the three words; ‘movement’, ‘connection’and ‘meetings’.

The word movement, refers to the weak structure of the city, and a need for more guidance in the streets and a greater variety of ex-

periences and opportunities as you move along the canals and houses.

There is also a need for a greater coherence with the surrounding green and blue areas, but also with-in the very center, across channels and roads.

Meetings refers to the random meetings that occur between peo-ple, as well as between the urban areas and nature, historic structures and modern structures.

Working with our conpect we have chosen to strenghten three lines across the center. The model shows these lines connecting respectively the green, blue and urban areas of the city, creating variation in urban areas. These three lines will now be explained more detailed.

Wild blue-green runThe wild blue-green run forms a connection between the wetlands to the green area to the east.The line runs along the northern ca-nal and provides visibility from the railway and into city.

Urban-green runThis line connects the city center to the two green areas, east and west of the city, bringing the urban into the surrounding areas.The line runs from the forest, through the center, between the high school area and the camp-ing area into the wetland. Here we would like to create a greater acces-sibility and opportunity for stays and meetings.

Urban-blue runThe urban line running along the southern canal allows for greater coherence between the northern and southern part of the city

By creating different spaces and meeting point in the city, with a more urban character, along the ca-nal, you create the opportunity for people to interact.

There is also a need for a greater coherence with the surrounding green and blue areas, but also with-in the very center, across canals and roads.

Meetings refers to the random meetings that occur between peo-ple, as well as between the urban areas and nature, historic structures and modern structures.

Four runs & an edge

The model and the titel refeers to the group concept, with its four structures crossing a denced city, combining urban structures with the blue and greenelements surrounding the city.

First group concept model

The idea of this project is to re-connect the city by working with existing structures. To create a dence citycenter with clear and defi ned structures leading to the surrounding areas (Diagram 1.) This we will do by working with the expression and design of the canals at certain locations, which is refl ected in the model as three distinct lines and a dense city center. The fourth run is combining different areas within the city.

The concept is based on the three words; ‘movement’, ‘connection’and ‘meetings’.

The word movement, refers to the weak structure of the city, and a need for more guidance in the streets and a greater variety of ex-periences and opportunities as you move along the canals and houses.

Working with our concept we have chosen to strenghten four lines across the center. Diagram 2 shows these lines connecting respectively the green, blue and urban areas of the city, creating a variation in spaces.


Barcelona thoughtsHere is something about our trip and what we got from it..

- Repeating arcitectural elements - The plantingstrategies- A more clear and dense city edge - Working with the terrain- Meetings between elements- Variety of different pavements

Urban-blue runThe urban run is the most urban structure were we want to connect two very different parts of the city. An important historic area with a factories and largescale shops.

First draft of the masterplan.

The idea of this project is to make Frederiksværk city center more understandable as a de-fined urban space. To achieve this we want to redefine the dif-ferent urban elements and spac-es. The redefining also tells about an hierarchy within the city. As an additional layer we want to highlight the already excisting historical lines that goes through the city. Each line has its own sto-ry to tell and they all reflects the wide range of qualities that are represented in Frederiksværk; dense forrest, open wetlands, narrow canals, steelwork history, city life and water.

The first step in the project is to de-fine the edge of the city leaving no doubt about whether you are inside or outside the city center. The edge is created by densifying the city center with vegetation, meeting-places and new buildings. Along

WEEK FOUR

Urban Edge of Frederiksværk

Masterplan In Progress

The idea of this project is to make Frederiksværk city center more understandable as a de-fi ned urban space. To achieve this we want to redefi ne the dif-ferent urban elements and spac-es. The redefi ning also tells about an hierarchy within the city. As an additional layer we want to highlight the already excisting historical lines that goes through the city. Each line has its own sto-ry to tell and they all refl ects the wide range of qualities that are represented in Frederiksværk; dense forrest, open wetlands, narrow canals, steelwork history, city life and water.

Group 9


The fi rst step in the project is to de-fi ne the edge of the city leaving nodoubt about whether you are insideor outside the city center. The edgeis created by densifying the city center with vegetation, meeting places and new buildings. Along the edge we are creating an open belt, as a contrast to the dense area.

Secondly, we have chosen to strengthen 5 historical lines across the center. These lines can be de-scribed in 3 words; ‘meetings’, ‘connections’, and ‘movement’.

The word meeting, refers to the random meetings that occur be-tween people, as well as meetings between the urban areas and na-ture, historic structures and modern structures. The word movement, refers to the weak structure of the city, and a need for more guidance in the streets and a greater variety of experiences and opportunities as you move along the canals, nature, and houses.

There is also a need for a greater connection with the surrounding green and blue areas, but also with-in the very center, across canals androads.
