Northern Harbour / Juul Frost Architects

In the course of the next 10-15 years, the erstwhile commercial harbour in Sønderborg will be transformed into an attractive and buzzing new urban district. Based on the visions and intentions presented by Gehry Partners LLP for Sønderborg Harbour (2008), JFA has prepared a design guide for Sønderborg Municipality, outlining a development framework for this new part of town. JFA works with the development of urban spaces and areas in both practical and theoretical terms and possesses unique competences in the transformation of mono-functional areas into integral and diverse urban areas. To secure a holistic development of Sønderborg Northern Harbour, JFA makes use of a horizontal planning tool that will incorporate and treat four separate parameters in one process: town, urban spaces, lifestyle, and the body. This ensures a holistic development trajectory that will meet needs at all levels while visions and goals show due regard for the presence of people in the area. In this way, the design guide will, in a collective process, consider the physical context as well as the social interactions and behaviour of users. As an integral part of the process, JFA applied BIM (Building Information Modelling) to outline, qualify, and examine the spatial qualities of the area. At the same time, BIM supports JFA’s holistic work methods and, besides buildings, the application is also used for landscape and urban development.

Boris Brorman Jensen and Kristoffer Lindhardt Weiss to Curate Danish Pavilion at 2016 Venice Biennale

James Taylor-Foster — Wed, 03 Feb 2016 04:00:00 +0000

Boris Brorman Jensen and philosopher Kristoffer Lindhardt Weiss have been appointed to curate the Danish contribution to the 2016 Venice Biennale. Their exhibition will centre on the theme of 'humanism', a "central leitmotif in Danish architecture," which "promotes a sense of community and expresses civic pride." Although it is top of the agenda, they state that "there is not much agreement on how, when and by what means this 'humanistic architecture' should be realised."

Summer House / LASC studio

Megan Jett — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Set in the Swedish summer retreat area of Österlen, this conversion of an abandoned farmhouse re-thinks and plays on the notion of nostalgia and shelter, combining them with very contemporary desires for space, light and nature. Houses in the area are traditionally robust and nest-like for protection in the blustery, open landscape. But while the clients were attached to the traditional style, they also wanted to enjoy the nature indoors.

Cloudy House / LASC studio

Megan Jett — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0000

The Cloudy House is an extension of a 1930's house, which had become too small for the young and expanding family in residence. The roof of the existing house seems to stretch out over the extension, giving the extension a dynamic and contemporary expression, while clearly communicating its origin from the existing building. The shape of the extension sensitively picks up existing features like roof angles and windows placements of the old house. An angled terrace allows for new views to the garden, its edge consists of a built-in bench that seems to fold out of the facade.
