axis” we looked at the pedestrian street and the squares in each end of this street. We still work with the axes but our perception of the meeting and connections be-tween the axes’ of the city have moved further to the west. “The old axis” has been stretched to start at Arre Sø and go all the way out to Roskilde Fjord. To unite the axes’ we want to apply a round element in form of a park area that will pick up the infrastructure (roads, cycle-lanes and pedestrians) and then re-distribute the flow of movement of Frederiksværk.

Through our fieldwork in Spain, we have moved our overall effort and focus to the large green area

Merge and exaggerate?

The plan

Rat qui te nos rempor alia vendign atiuntiusnem exceatatur?

After a week of studying parks in Barcelona and Girona, our minds are filled with raw inspiration and countless references of de-sign solutions and different con-cepts. And when moving from conceptual to structural real life inspiration is an advantage.

The second group assignment:Product; model should with a more precise and with a dedicated struc-ture. The models that we made on our fieldwork meetings are the ones that should be developing for this model, not totally new concepts. Choose materials with care; it is a working model and it should give spatial information about the urban

landscape of your ideas. The focus-pointsTuesday morning the 7th of May in the hostel in Girona we made a plan…

As mentioned in the earlier edi-tion of the paper, the working-title of group 8 is “Frederiksværk, the city without a center”. And to ad-dress the issues that we found most important/urgent, we decided to have the following focus-points:

- The new axis (East - West)- The old axis (North – South)- How to combine the two

axes’ to unite an evident center of the city where the water functions as a structural frame.

Initially to work with “The new

Model-makingThe second and more structural

model is to show the intentions of the intervention that we, group 8, wish to implement in Frederiks-værk. We have chosen to make it more detailed to increase the un-derstanding of the cities structural form. As well as to substantiate the augment for a physical intervention on a current “dead space” that con-tains huge potential.

Visualization In this week’s visualization we want to show a variation of levels. During our fieldtrip we repeatedly saw and experienced how the dif-ferential in levels between rods and recreational areas positively influ-enced the perception of the space to reside in. It was not only in the three parks mentioned above, but almost in every single park that we visited, where the manipulation of levels were used consciously.

WEEK THREE

Activating Axis’

The preliminary master-plan for the path that wil activateh the axis’.

Cross-section A

The focus in this paper upload will be the preliminary master-plan.

After the fieldtrip in the begin-ning of May to Barcelona and Gi-rona, our minds are filled with raw inspiration and countless referenc-es of design solutions and different concepts. When moving from con-ceptual to structural real life inspi-ration is an advantage. This week we strengthened this with one more fieldtrip, but this time it was a trip of planning. We spend two days in Frederiksværk to get reintroduced to our project area.

As mentioned in the earlier edi-tion of the paper, to address the is-sues that we found most important/urgent, we have the following fo-cus-points:

- The new axis (East-West)- The old axis (North–South)- How to combine the two


Pentagon


Initially to work with “The new axis” we looked at the pedestrian street and the squares in each end of this street. We still work with the axes but our perception of how to combine the axis have developed.

To activate the axis of Frederiks-værk, we decided to propose a pe-destrian/bicycle path running all the way from Arre Sø in the north east, and to the pier in the south west.

This path is not meant to be the fastest route for travelling from the lake to the sea. This path is planned to run through different kind of ar-eas with different characteristics, experiences and potentials.

The path will activate both vi-brant space and intriguing nature surroundings but also current dead and abandoned spaces.

Even though the experiencing individual will move through vari-ous spaces there will always be the combining elements leading the way. There will also be informa-tive signage to guide and assist the movement of the individual.

1. The connection to the lake is through an impressive ocean of reed. There is a wooden boardwalk that leads you from the lakeshore to the edg+++e of the forest.

2. The path through the beech for-est makes room for both bikes and pedestrians. There will be created viewpoints to the duct.

3. This picture shows the current dramatic transition between the natural and urban. When stepping out of the forest one is met with a large concrete parking lot.

4. The pedestrians and cyclists will on this stretch be separated. The pe-destrians will be lead in to the ally after crossing a bridge, and the cy-clists will be lead down on the road where there currently are parking lots (they will be removed)

5. This space contains a great deal of potential. It currently has no function. The ground is polluted from the former industries that surrounded the area. It’s a flexible space in close connection to the main pedestrian shopping street.

6. This picture illustrates the close connection between historical buildings and public functions. The path will pass the old “English-building” and through the connect-ed park activating the space.

7. Connection across infrastructure is the challenge here. This road is a large barrier and divides Frederiks-værk in two. It is also the buffer between the urban and abandoned area.

8. The abandoned areas represent potential development zones.


10. This footpath serves as the buff-er between the high school area and camping area.

11. The boarder to the preserved nature area was we imagine a simi-lar solution as showed on picture 1. a boardwalk that activates the space and offers the possibility to resign and enjoy the nature just outside the city.


13. An existing green stretch from the city of Frederiksværk which are connecting the city to the industrial area.

14. Finally at the end the large waste water meets us once more and the axis is complete.

The path - from lake to seaTo illustrate the different spaces along the path we choose fourteen pictures to tell the story for us.

This path is not meant to be the fastest route for travelling from the lake to the sea. This path is planned to run through different kind of ar-eas with different characteristics, experiences and potentials.

The movements from East to the West through Frederiksværk are going to kick-start and revitalize the city. Every time a North-South axis is crossing the East-West axis something happens. It establishes a connection and creates a new space of possibilities and potential. The path moves through vibrant space and intriguing nature surroundings but also the current dead-/ forgot-

The process towards a final design of the plateau in the ocean of reed. This will be situated in the protected wetland to the West.

The thoughts about the contents of/along the path within the project area.We divided this stretch of the path in to five bits. Each person got a bit to draw upon and worked with it. After we shared our thoughts, de-cided and moved on with the plan-ning. This is the thoughts about the five bits of the path:1.Parking / Forest (+park) - Path = gravel + asphalt road - Grid like parking lot - Parking / trees / light pavement Bike-parking - Make the forest “infiltrate” in to the parking lot

2.Canal way /Green open space - Flower park– leveled up+sitting - Make another parking solution along the canal - Split up bikes and pedestrians - Flowerbeds in one side, trees in the other - Bike surface - continuous - Open up the access to the shop ping street - Pavement – concrete

3.Park / Activity area - Densify the park at the “Eng lish house” - Safe crossing of Peder Falsters Vej – cross walk, lighting, obstacles to slow down traffic - Open up the stretch from Peder Falsters Vej to the high school - Secure the connection to the

existing areas (extremely important here). - Tennis club – multi court – wa ter management - Temporary community gardens - Bike parking at the high school - Melt the path together with the infrastructure at the high school - Open up some of the edges of the forest meeting the path - Open up to the high schools sports fields - Add places for sitting

4.Wetland / Crossing to the marina - Where should the wooden broad walk start and end? - Shape / size and placement of the platform in the reed? Tree steps up (bird “tower/ plateau”)? - New site for crossing the canal, bridge + seating-stairs down to the canal. - Path to the marina - Swirl the path - Access to the water - Access to see the industry though “windows” in the fence = showing off the industry – part of the history.. - Split up the path at some places.
