Youth Recreation and Culture Centre in Copenhagen |
|
Dorte Mandrup's new building is situated in a residential area in a northern suburb of Copenhagen, Denmark. The area predominately consists of large villas from the turn of the century. The site is long and narrow, on one side bordering the railroad and on the other a busy road- Gersonsvej - hence there was a noise problem to be solved.
The program was a mixed use complex containing several different institutions, both communities and individual users. Cross programming was developed through workshops and games with future users, adults as well as children. The site is noise polluted to a degree demanding noise reducing walls to protect the outdoor play area. Elements such as a bunker and a transformer box were integrated with the landscape of green noise baffles surrounding the site. An old chestnut tree characteristic to the site was preserved and incorporated in the garden. |
