Perspective view towards E of the climate park with automatic parking towers to the left.

 

CityPeople has been awarded the 2nd price in the Jomfrustien urban renewal ideas competition in the Danish town of Haderslev. The competition concerned an inner city area adjacent to the medieval town centre. An important asking point in the competition was landscape based stormwater mangement.

For our proposal, we scripted a parametric model to visualize new developments as well as the existing urban fabric in 3D. As the parametric model can be scripted to visualize both plans, diagrams and perspective views, the design can stay open up until shortly before deadline. Therefore, this is a very powerful technique for projects with a limited timeframe such as competition projects.

The proposal is based on a future vision for self-driving cars and features automatic parking towers, a driverless city bus, reduced on-site parking and the transformation of existing parking areas into a climate park and urban gardens. New housing features an intricate hierarchy of stormwater management features from green roofs and water retention areas to sculpturally designed overflow basins.

Project collaborators: Nicolai Steinø, Kristian Mortensen, Laura Iosub.

Terraces on a Slope http://citypeople.dk/terraces-on-a-slope/ Mon, 15 Aug 2016 07:00:38 +0000 http://citypeople.dk/?p=225 Bird's eye view of terraced housing scheme. Sub consultancy for COWI.

SE bird’s eye view of terraced housing scheme. Sub-consultancy for COWI.

 

In this small sub-consultancy project for COWI, we scripted a model for a housing scheme consisting of terraces on a sloping site in Aalborg. While the housing typology was fixed, we used the parametric model to adjust the number of units in each row, the location and orientation of each row, and the alignment of the s-shaped street.

Single Family Housing Study http://citypeople.dk/single-family-housing-study/ Fri, 01 Jul 2016 07:00:28 +0000 http://citypeople.dk/?p=218 Birds eye view of single family housing scheme. Study.

SW Birds eye view of single family housing scheme. Study.

 

In this study we examined parametrically how a single housing family development consisting of identical two-level villas with terraces could be distributed on a sloping suburban site overlooking a valley.

The challenge was to provide all units with a view while filling the site efficiently within the build-to line. At the same time, road space should be kept a a minimum. Roads should not be too steep and the natural terrain should be modified as little as possible.

These different parameters were analyzed in the parametric model, and were adjusted to meet these partly conflicting requirements.
