THE STREET REINVENTED IN DENMARK

In designing the new concept for an old railway siding area in a downtown area in Denmark, we reached back to a mixed community idea. Spaces are based on mixed traffic streets - still with safety in mind. There are offices, small workshops, shops and cafés and all the human uses of buildings that are not detrimental to the environment. With the nearby campus, there is student accommodation. And there are penthouses too, catching the outstanding views across the river and forest to the west. And affordable housing for families in between.​

在為丹麥市中心的舊鐵道兩側設計新概念時，我們回到了混合社區用途的想法。在設計概念中混合交通街道的空間裡仍要牢記安全第一的準則。在這個提案中，區域內不但有辦公室、小型工作室、商店和咖啡館，還有一切對環境無害的人類使用的建築物。在附近的校園中，有學生宿舍，此外，還有閣樓公寓，可以欣賞西面河流和森林的壯麗景色。當然也有一般家庭負擔得起的住房。

Banished too is the idea that a housing block should be a small tower set in a lawn. Here the spaces have a hierarchy of public, semi-private and private. So there are secure spaces for prams to sit outside and the neighbours' parking is under the watchful eye of shared residents. The city centre is not far distant and so we predict a lot of cyclists. The positioning of the students accommodation is placed at the far end of the site so that the students would walk through the community every day - generating interest, occasional sitting areas and adding to the street picture.

我們摒除了一個個房屋如同小塔般矗立在草坪上的想法。在這裡，我們把空間區分為公共空間，半私有空間和私有空間的層次結構。因此，有足夠的安全空間供嬰兒車放置在戶外，鄰居的停車處設置在共享居民可視範圍內，由於社區距離市中心不遠，因此我們預期會有很多騎自行車的人而保留足夠的使用空間。學生宿舍的位置位於社區的盡頭，讓學生每天往來學校時必須在社區中走動而創造生活趣味，另外設置必要的歇坐區為社區街道增添色彩。
