Sommerhus udviklet til en grund nær Dronningmølle med direkte adgang til vandet fra en stejl nordøstvendt skråning. Projektet fortolker den danske tradition om det lette træhus. Den L-formede plan omkranser sammen med den eksisterende beplantning et “gårdrum” som ankomst til huset syd fra. Afskærmet fra vinden forlænges årstiderne på denne terrasse der opvarmes af solen fra syd og syd-vest. Planen er opbygget meget kompakt med fokus på sommerlivet ved stranden så der indenfor kun er tilvejebragt et minimum af kvadratmeter med et opholdsrum og køkken i direkte forbindelse med et sengeafsnit indbygget i alkover. I realiteten er terrassen det store “uderum” og badet ligger sammen med et værelse(gæst eller arbejde) mod vest adskilt af en fri passage til vandsiden mod nordøst. På terrassen er der udendørs bruser monteret på baderumskernen. Billedet viser terrassen en aften hvor solen varmer på den sydvestvendte terrasse samtiddig med at havet kan betragtes i medlys. Klimateknisk udføres huset med de relativt få kvadratmeter med brændeovn så det hurtigt kan opvarmes ved brug i vintersæsonen. Der opvarmes hertil med jordvarmeanlæg der udføres så det holder huset fugtfrit når det ikke er i brug. Alternativt studeres muligheden for en mere økonomisk løsning hvor et solvarmeanlæg anlægges på en sekundær bygning ved den sydlige ankomst. Konstruktivt tænkes det udført med bærende træelementer som lignatur.ch der sikre så lav en varmeledning at elementerne kan udføres med et stort udhæng over glaspartierne der spænder fra gulv til loft.
Merry Christmas

Med denne hilsen ønsker jeg jer alle tak for et spændende år 2009.
Senest har jeg medvirket som fagdommer i to konkurrencer; Idræts- og kulturcenter i Grindsted og det nye Sundhedscenter for kræftramte i København. Det har været spændende processer og jeg har høstet nye erfaringer omkring de arkitektoniske rammer for kropskultur og sundhed, der også de kommende år vil være i fokus når man taler bæredygtige løsninger
I november blev vores forslag til Statens Naturhistoriske Museum præmieret med et indkøb for vores vilje til at diskutere programmets forudsætninger, omkring museets rette placering, organisation og bæredygtighed. Vi håber at idéerne kan være med til at skabe det rigtige grundlag for den kommende projektkonkurrence.
På Kunstakademiets Arkitektskole har vi åbnet en udstilling i forbindelse med COP 15 hvor jeg sammen med den schweiziske arkitekt Phillippe Rahm og afdeling 10’s elever har lavet en bog som undersøger nye kvaliteter ved at arbejde med klima og arkitektur.
1. december udkom Lokale og Anlægsfondens bog “Energiske faciliteter – bæredygtig idrætsarkitektur”, hvor vores projekt til Kulmøllen i Albertslund viser integreret energidesign anvendt i forbindelse med nye kultur- og idrætfaciliteter i gamle industribygninger.
Igen i år har vi valgt at indbetale et beløb til “Læger uden grænser”
Tak for i år, glædelig jul og godt nytår 2010
ENGLISH VERSION :
Thank you for another exiting year 2009
The recent months I have participated as a jury member in two competitions Sport and Culture Centre in Grindsted and the new Cancer Rehabilitation Centre in Copenhagen. Processes with important lessons in the field of architecture and health. I believe these issues will be essential for discussing sustainability in architecture the coming years.
In the new Natural Science Museum ideas competition we were pleased to obtain a small price in our effort to challenge the program and question the decisions made concerning important issues such as placement, infrastructure and sustainability. We hope our ideas can help provide the right basis for the coming project competition.
In the Royal Academy, School of Architecture we held our COP 15 exhibition; In collaboration with Schwiss architect Phillippe Rahm and 100 students from department 10 I developed a book examining new qualities in architecture and climate.
1. December The Danish Foundation for Culture and Sports Facilities publicised their new book about sustainability as the future basis for their projects. The book includes our project “Kulmøllen” as an example where and old powerplant will be transformed in to a new youth Sport and Culture facility using integrated energy design.
Once again we chose to give our support to Medecins Sans Frotieres. Merry Christmas and happy new year 2010.
Reading “Some ideas on living in London and Tokyo” by S. Tayler and R. Nishizava
december 5, 2009
This quote by Stephen Taylor in dialogue with Ryue Nishizava (SANAA) and interviewer Giovanna Borasi pinpoints the potential for a new more sustainable urban architecture:
At this moment when everyone is addressing the question of sustainability in terms of insulation and solar panels, the idea of making a habitable life in the core ore the centre of a city is very much part of the answer. To make it a kind of a human pleasure to return home to a place of tranquillity and privacy on one level, but connected to the community on another………… this notion of the two homes phenomenon, exists n London too. I think it’s a condition of our age. But it’s the idea that on Friday night you leave town and go somewhere which is pleasurable when in fact, you are joining the rest of the commuters for two hours to go out to the countryside and then on Sunday night you join them and go back. It will be different if the place in town is a place of pleasure; and not only that you also have the benefit of the city.
Some ideas on living in London and Tokyo publicised by Lars Müller and edited by Giovanna Borasi.
The architect that did this is looking for a new job !
november 26, 2009The house for Alvar Aaltos boat by the architects Claudia Schulz and Anne-Mette Krolmark is an important statement for a poetic relation between architecture and nature in recent Scandinavian architecture.
Claudia Schulz has 10 years of experience from Copenhagen based offices KHR, DOMUS and JJW including everything from competitions, designwork, construction and supervision. Her nature languages is both Danish and German. If you have any good ideas then please let me know ore send her a mail at claudiakbh@gmail.com. You can download her CV pressing here: LINKEDIN

Statens Naturhistoriske Museum – “Copenhagen Cultural Gardens”
november 5, 2009
Today the winners of the competition for a new Natural History Museum was announced. We were pleased to obtain a small price in our effort to challenge the program and question the decisions made concerning important issues such as placement, infrastructure and sustainability.
Extract from the jury report :
This entry incorporates the Botanical Gardens and the museum buildings in a larger urban plan that covers the green belt of the former ramparts and focuses on the connections between the many museums on the green museum island near the ramparts. It is one of very few entries in both Trail A and Trail B that suggests that, while a number of the already existing entrances should be retained, the main entrance to the Botanical Gardens should be immediately opposite Rosenborg Castle, located close to Nørreport Station, at the Observatory in the wide Øster Voldgade street.
A logical result of this proposal is that the entrant wants to turn the listed Observatory into the central building of the museum and its main entrance. In connection with this main building the entrant suggests that the required undergroundfloor area be provided by building into the Observatory hill instead of using the area below the hill as required in the competition brief.
However, the most remarkable concept relative to the educational aspect of the museum is a series of footbridges (similar to the footbridges in Kew Gardens) which, starting at the Observatory, take visitors on a tour of the Botanical Gardens at treetop height. One of the footbridges continues across Sølvgade to Østre Anlæg and the National Gallery; another crosses Øster Voldgade and provides access to Rosenborg Castle. The entrant sees this system of footbridges as an ‘extra layer’ of experiences, an additional perspective on the Botanical Gardens in which the bridges will not be a disturbing element, and as an opening of the gardens towards other units in a green museum belt.
Workshop whit Philippe Rahm
oktober 17, 2009This week at department 10 we held a workshop lead by Philippe Rahm guest professor at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture.
He works currently in Paris and Lausanne. He has made numerous exhibitions around the world as well as teaching in universities in Switzerland, France and England. For more information check http://www.philipperahm.com/
Right now he is preparing a special exhibition in KARCH to be open during the UN COP 15 conference and he is currently part of Louisianas exhibition “The future of architecture is green”
At department 10; when we first heard that Rahm was coming to teach here we were eager to show our interest in getting a closer understanding of his outstanding work: Philippe Rahm challenges our understanding of spaces exploring the sensibility of human biology and physiology reaching far beyond visual perception. Thereby he shows us new ways to go, and he can inspire us to explore new territories of architecture remembering that ecological conscience architecture not only has a low co2 but can also provide humans with enjoyable and sensual spaces.
This is an interview I did whit him discussing the objectives of the workshop and the idea of the Atlas that the students will produce for the COP 15 exhibition.
Healthcare center for cancer
oktober 17, 2009
|
The 6. of October we announced the winner of the competition for the new cancer rehabilitation centre in Copenhagen.
As one of two AA appointed member of the jury I have had the pleasure to work together with employees, users and representatives of administration and politicias from the health sector of Copenhagen municipality. As result the visionary and challenging building by the young copenhagen office NORD will open in 2011.
Situated in a beautiful but busy site the proposal is based on a protecting courtyard typology baring references to historical health architecture. A playful interior is arranged in close contact with the courtyard gardens with social and physical activity as well as peacefulness and relaxation.
“The future of architecture is green”
oktober 10, 2009Louisianas “The future of architecture is green” has been prolonged until 18 December to include participants in COP 15. Here’s some of my snapshots from the exhibition.
Lilleø med stort Ø
oktober 10, 2009I the final assignment 2008-2009 my students worked with developing ideas for a small Island in the south of Denmark where Claus Meyer grows his vine and tasty apples. Here’s their resume of the work they did and images from some of the projects :Lilleø, en af danmarks mange små øer, blev udgangspunktet for en en talrække af visioner om bæredygtighed på flere planer og i forskellige skalaer. Vores bidrag er en samling af hvert enkelts refleksion over mødet mellem menneske og natur. Et ønske om at udforske det møde og dets muligheder med henblik på social bæredygtighed, økologisk produktion og ikke mindst en grundlæggende respekt for naturen. Visionerne tager udgangspunkt i en lille ø i et lille land, og forholder sig på mange måder til den nære skala, men er samtidige universelle. Visioner som ikke nødvendigvis giver nogle endegyldige svar på debatten om bæredygtighed, men som kan inspirere og skabe større bevidsthed.

Philippe Rahm at Louisiana
maj 31, 2009
Philippe Rahm which projects I have documented on this blog last year is currently participating in the very well curated exhibition “The future of architecture is green” at Louisiana.
Philippe Rahm challenges our conception of spaces exploring thoroughly the sensibility of human biology beyond visual perception.
I attended his beautiful lecture “Meteorological Architecture” held this week in KARCH and we hope to offer a workshop with Philippe Ramn the coming semester.
I can only recommend to visit the exhibition at Louisiana which includes some of my favourite architectural studios such as Lacatton&Vassal, ecosystema urbano, Andrea Deplazes and Shigeru Ban; all front runners of ecological architecture with a sensibility for playful human spaces.
Bearing in mind that true ecologycal architecture not only has a low CO2 etc. but provides humans with enjoyable living spaces I would also have liked to include works souch as studio FAR´s poetic wall house, WORK AC´s projects for urban farming, Hiroshi Sambuichis earth architecture and Exploration´s biomimical architecture. A section could also have been dedicated to the art of landscape architecture where ecology and our relation whit nature is not a new discussion. Anyway go see it ! its worth while
Selgas Cano playing with nature

Watch out for the Madrid Studio Selgas Cano. Their ideas always fresh and appealing exploring new territories for architectural expression conceiving playful and enjoyable spaces. Their new workspace in Madrid is no exception digging in to floor of the forest looking up in the sky through the leaves. That’s ecology for me !
