Grønningen-Bispeparken Climate Park / SLA

Danish nature-based design studio SLA has transformed the 20,000 m2 outdoor areas of Grønningen-Bispeparken – a 1950s social housing estate. The task was to transform the housing estate's public spaces from derelict, unsafe, and barren grass lawns into a new climate park that would secure the area against thunderstorms and flooding while also adding social, biological, and cultural values to the neighborhood. To address these challenges, SLA designed Grønningen-Bispeparken to be Copenhagen's most radical nature-based climate adaptation project to date. By letting the form of the park follow nature, SLA created an interconnected series of 18 bioswales throughout the sloping park that can collect, contain, and infiltrate more than 3,000 m3 of rainwater falling in the park and the adjacent courtyards and streets.

In southern Sweden, the future of atomic science is under construction. ESS is a state-of-the-art multi-disciplinary research facility that will be open to scientists from all over the world. Almost like a giant microscope, ESS will allow scientists to look deep inside objects to see where the atoms are and what they are doing: A powerful ion source will beam protons the laboratory’s 600-meter main corridor at 96 percent of the speed of light, smashing loose neutrons as they collide with a solid tungsten target disc.

The architects are 3XN and SLA whose design is based on Lemvig’s historic boat-building facilities found in the spectacular natural scenery of the Limfjord and the strong communities of the port. The Klimatorium offers an innovative and creative mini-hub for storm surge, water, and climate research. Its open public facilities and recreational outdoor spaces also offer innovative opportunities to experience, sense, and use the unique natural surroundings of Lemvig and the Limfjord.

With its innovative biodiversity, microclimate, and social activities, Al Fay Park is a paradigm shift in how to design and implement nature in the dense megacities of the Middle East. The park is designed by Danish nature-design stars SLA. A new kind of urban nature park has seen the light of day in Abu Dhabi. Gone are the water-consuming and soulless ‘Las Vegas landscapes’ of the past. Enter Al Fay Park – a new 27,500 m2 public park in downtown Abu Dhabi that signals a new kind of Middle Eastern city development: Driven by inclusive nature rather than iconic buildings.

SLA Wins Competition to Design a New Cultural Landscape in Denmark

Sabrina Syed — Sat, 03 Jun 2017 11:00:00 +0000

Danish-based landscape architects SLA have won a competition to develop The New Hedeland Nature Park – a 1,500-hectare cultural landscape near the historical city of Roskilde, Denmark. The winning proposal challenges the common idea of the conventional “culture house” as it is moved out in the open without walls and roofs, making participating accessible for everyone. The winning design also seeks to complement the area's unique nature and 10,000 years of cultural history into one coherent concept, creating new space for co-creation, interaction, and awareness.
