By Peter Lundsgaard Hansen


In this design studio 55 internation-al students from Denmark and the world have been working intensively with the transformation of a closed down industrial area in the western periphery of the Dutch City of Gro-ningen.

Nordic by Nature is one way to de-scribe the approach to this design and planning studio.In more ways than one we shall work like the Vikings explored the world. However we shall not rape and nor shall we steel and loot

– although we might bargain for goods and information.

We are going to sail up and dow the canals of the Dutch landscape and we will study landscapes build by human hands. We will explore and try to un-derstand contemporary landscapes as well as historical landscapes.

With the knowledge and inspiration that we get from our endeavours we will go ashore on the territory of The Sugar Plant in Groningen and here

we will build models, make sketches, walk, talk and have discussions about how this urban anti territory can un-dergo an urban transformation process towards a future that we can only im-agine.

CALENDAR?


why shouldn’t I be a little uneasy? Don’t you agree? I can’t exactly point out why, but with what we already know new things pop up in my mind. Let me give you an example. If only I add “in the outskirts of town” or how about “on the grounds of an old sugar plant” this whole situation could very well spin out of control. Combine them with the “ little girl” and we have a tragedy.

I am sure it is just my imagination, I am sorry, it’s just how my head works, I know! But you shouldn’t worry.

You know the streets I told you about. There is also a road and, it cuts through the neighbourhood where the little girl lives. She’s got a best friend and he’s got a map. The boy lives on the other side. They call the road “the road” because it is a big road. The old sugar plant they call “the sugar house” because that is where the house is.

No body knows about the house in the willow tree except for Mr.3 that is. I know what you think – I thought so too, but the situation is this; Mr.3 said “the Vikings are notorious for sailing their vessels into unknown territory to loot and raid all over the European continent – even rape.” Their skills as merchants and traders are widely un-derestimated, he rampeled on.

He knows because he descents from a long line of merchants him self. That is how he lost a leg before he came here with a circus. “Actually I am go-ing on an expedition”, he says, “I am almost set to go – if only I had a map.”

For this part of the story I can truly say that I am not imagining anything because I don’t know what happened when they spoke about the map. No-

ten it after the last circus left), some robe (the circus again), an old can with a matchbox, a pencil, two bottles of water and the map. They have rolled everything up in a blanket - except for the rope, the knife and the map.

Mr.3 have been studying the map. It is a real Michelin he said when the boy found it down by the canal one day. They have made a circle that marks the willow tree and this is where they will depart. X marks the destination. The route will take them across the con-crete dessert close to the chimney and down to the edge of the canal - to the water pond. From this point – if they get there - they have decided to cross the dangerous waters of the Amazon

body knows and your guess it as good as mine. But what ever happened or what words were exchanged that day – sealed the deal - and now the three of them are going to the continent. The boy and the little girl even had a talk about the three-legged-Viking descented-cat.

“Cars talk too”, the little girl had said to the boy. Good talk!

Overskrift 2 The preparations are coming along as planned. They already have a raft for sailing and most of the supplies for the journey. It all adds up to; dry socks, a Yankee-bar, a flashlight, one pock-etknife (somebody must have forgot-

Anti Territory

The Sugar House and the Willow TreeHello. My name is Anti. I know that I have never met you in person but I am certain that I have encountered you through some mysterious communica-tion. I feel that I know you - through your thoughts and through the motion made by your movement.

I hope it is okay that I take a min-ute of your time. Maybe it is just my imagination – so I hope you will bear with me for a moment. I know this place – or at least I think I do. I don’t know exactly how to put it but to begin with there is nothing wrong. The thing is tha t there is nothing that makes this a special situation and I am almost certain that there is nothing to worry about. Come to think of it - this situ-ation is not any different to other situ-ations that I can think of. The people are ordinary people. The houses are all with roofs and windows and proper doors. The streets have trees and there are shops. The little girl is a normal girl with a mom and dad. There are schools and people go to work. Okay, there is a kitten stuck in a tree but that shouldn’t alarm us. It is to be expect-ed. There is absolutely nothing that I can see what should alarm us.

So why do I say “to begin with there is nothing wrong” and “I am almost certain that there is nothing to worry about”. You have probably already noticed it and you have seen the title because it is quite big. Size 18. I saw it too and I am sure that it is my im-agination but I am beginning to think; what if there is something not right about the whole situation. Could it be that something is about to change? If I am right then the situation could eas-ily take a turn for the worse and then

River to the other side on the raft.However just when everything

seems to be ready it hits them that the raft doesn’t have a name. How could they forget? Mr.3 explains that they will never get across the river if the raft doesn’t have a proper name. The little girl and the boy are caught by total surprise and for a minute things could go either way.

To their luck Mr.3 reassures them that folks forget to give their vessels a proper name all the time and the cer-emony can be done quite easily. He suggests that they call it ‘The African Queen’.

I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard this part of the story. I love that

film! What a coincident, don’t you think? You may think nothing of this name but Mr.3 is an old film buff and he remembers the film from 1951 star-ring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn. Amazing fellar- this Mr.3 is. I hope to meet him one day.

Overskrift 2 And so it is. The little girl and the boy can’t believe their luck. They are going on a Viking voyage across the Amazon River aboard ‘The African Queen’.

They set off full of anticipation and confidence. The weather is so calm that the man with the soap bubbles turns up. He parks his car by the old chimney like he has done so many

sundays before and from the hatch he pulls out a folding table and a chair. Everything is just like it should be.

I must apolog ize. I know I promised you that I would only take a moment of your time and I know you have other - more important - matters to think of. I’ll let you get on with your business now. I can pop in later and tell you more. My hope is that this situation isn’t that bad anyway! I certainly am beginning to feel pretty good about the whole thing, you see.

Yours truly Anti Territory

The Sugar Plant Territory

wishes to be an experimental Garden for new urban development.

Objectives of the workThe studio aims to plan, programme and design for a sustainable Sugar Plant Territory in Groningen and thus one important challenge of the work will be to identify where and how to develop and transform this urban landscape.

Three overall themes must be ad-dressed:1. The connection to a general urban context and the city centre in particular.2. The urban spaces and their mutual relations. Climate and recreational space.

The Sugar Plant is situated vest of the city centre of Groningen

The aim of this studio is to design for a future urban transformation for The Sugar Plant Territory.

The assignment for the Sugar Plant Territory is to combine designs for in-terventions in urban structure, public space, transformation process (includ-ing landscape interventions), and de-velopment possibilities with a vision for needs like infrastructural improve-ments. There are no existing housing or commercial problems that would determine the programme. The ques-tion is maybe how to tempt the market to invest in a new, preferably profitable (what is profitable?), use of space and thus ultimately redevelop the site.

The program/design should consider

the following overall issues; how can landscapes contribute to urban devel-opment ?should the transformation fo-cus on process rather than result? Is it

the design for an iconic building that can set of the process and what are the merits and disadvantages of these op-tions. The studio is invited to explore (a combination of) these possibilities.

3. Access and identity. Affiliation.The proposal should consider the

possibility for future housing, sustain-able rainwater management, acces for walking and bicycling, publig trans-portation, leisure, temporary use, a fu-ture bridge across the canal and urban frabric.

The proposal should display a vi-sionary design; combining history and contemporary culture - ecology, econ-omy and technology.

The circular boundary indicated on the illustration marks the general ter-ritory. The square marks the hole for your models to fit in.

The program is open.The scale and the context is debatable through the design


“an experimental Garden for new urban development”

“The program is open.The scale and the context is debatable through the design”City strategy – ‘an experimental

Garden for new urban development’The city is seeking to enhance even further its present position as the urban centre par excellence for the immediate region with almost a half million people. As a university city with a leading university, it also wish-es to be known as a City of Talent where young people can sample the Tree of Knowledge and as a Health City with Healthy Ageing as its spear point. And with the other partner in Energy Valley it wants to play a key role in the turntable of sustainable energy and also have a neutral envi-ronmental impact at a project level. With increasingly fewer of its own development planning opportunities and situated in an area with increas-ing population shrinkage, Groningen




The way we work I MEMO

Simple research model from a fieldtrip.

Presentations and discussions of design models. The way we work is through putting individual models and group models in the hole of the big model. This is our laboratory and this is where we rate and talk about the qualities of the design work.

Abstract model. We travel with a model box and we have meetings and talks while we are on the move.

The way we work is by repeating the same model and the same drawings throughout the course. We do this meanwhile we talk, travel, listen, read, draw and evaluate. MEMO is an abbreviation for; Model, Engagement, Movement and Observa-tion. The theory is; we make models because we work with space. We make them in order to engage with matter. The movement made from working with models help us observe and en-able us to make new and better draw-ings and models.

When we work with the plans and the models at the same time The plan comes a little before the model this time and they will never exactly be alike at this point. This is because they are feeding off of each other at the mo-ment – one always making the other adjust a little.

The methodWe use Google earth, maps and other representative medias to recreate the urban landscape of Groningen. We

will build analogue model (we will build them in our Model Lab) of Gron-ingen. During the building of the mod-el we will rate qualities of the urban landscape and the possibilities for new development as qualified as possible.The big model (the context model) will have a hole where we test and develop our ideas. The hole deter-mines part of the project site.

During our work with the design we use the walls and floors of the school to exhibit our work in progress. The exhibition wall is where we meet our imaginary client and where we let go of our fear of showing all the mistakes we have to make before we are satis-fied with the result.

Engagement. Think of a crime scene and of working on a murder case. Who is the murderer? In real life we try to recreate the scene of the crime through movement. We do this while we narrow in on a motive. The motive is important because it can reveal the murder.

When we work in the studio we feed of models so to speak, because the movement we create makes us able to engage in our work. In planning we call the motive; issues(problem formu-lation) and the scene of the crime; the site.

The observations we make when we work we document, evaluate and talk about. Observations that give us new

knowledge and new possibilities are what we are looking for. We often call them the little mistakes because they often show themselves in a drawing or a model as something that just doesn’t fit in the big picture. So look out for them!

Besides working digital we work with two types of different models. Simple modelsThere is a substantial advantages in building simple physical models. The investigative and inquisitive models

have a central role in the process of analysis and design. They empower ideas, concepts and programming. We repeat the simple model again and again.

Abstract modelThe first (and often the last) model we work with when we engage and try to understand our own work or other works of landscape architecture is even more simple. The model is abstract and we carry it with us in a model box. We can build this type of

model anywhere.

Big modelIn order to strengthen and qualify the way we discuss and evaluate our work in the context of a greater urban landscape we use a big model to test our arguments by putting our simple concept models in a big context model. We then repeat the process while we work on our digital plans, visualiza-tions, sections, text and so forth.

Landscape architecture students in the city of Steel - Frederiksværk

Landscape Planning 2013

STEELSCAPEPROCESS DIARY

The unique historical site that de-

to Arresø and Roskilde Fjord, the -

hind the main pedestrian street and the canal has drawn attention to teachers and researchers from The University of Copenhagen. Consequently the University has organized a planning laboratory in Frederiksværk. The student projects will be a supplement to the competition that takes place later this year.

Until the end of June 60-65 stu-dents from Denmark and the world will be working intensively with a transformation of Frederiksværk.

The overall design question is how Frederiksværk can be trans-formed within the following themes;

1. The connection between the water and the urban environment. Sustainable landscapes.

2. The urban spaces and their mutual relations. Climate and rec-reational space.

3. Access and identity. -

tion.The aim is to work with both

innovative and traditional solu-tions in a design for a sustainable urban process in Frederiksværk. Throughout the course at team of Landscape architects, teachers and researchers from The University of Copenhagen will follow and sup-port their work.

The studio entail travel, res-hearch and work into a wide range of exemplaty sites in Barce-lona, Spain.

This paper will work as the stu-

dents dairy, where they each week upload their work, to share with orthers and to show the overall process of their work. One spread corresponds to one week of group work. In the end, this paper will show how the students have gone from analysing and a con-cept in week one, to having a com-plete masterplan and design pro-posal in the end of their journey throgh Frederiksværk.

ritory of Groningen. In this zone we can mix and experi-

ment with matter that normally seem non compatable - ex. fitting a stufed bird, some bricks and a digital plan together and find new and unexpected observations in our work. From what

we find we can then go back to our work outside the zone and incoorpo-rate new ways of seeing into our de-sign.

With the gaffa tape we can take this work zone with us when we need to. Here we work with all scales, with

books, digital drawings projected from the seeling down onto the models we make, paper presentations, stufed ani-mals, 1:1 examples of pavement stone and soil types, movies, etc.
