In the ReciproCity project, a design strategy is applied for a new public condenser in the site area within Bispebjerg, Copenhagen, that positively contributes to the wellbeing of city dwellers and the building’s users by responding to the three key aspects of wellbeing: the social aspect, the hedonic aspect and the eudaimonic aspect of wellbeing.

The building has a positive impact on the neighbourhood on both urban an socio-economic levels, widening its target audience, and establishing reciprocal relations between the local conditions, stakeholders and dwellers, stimulating sustainable urban development and catalysing the further development of the ADEPT plan.

This strategy creates socio-economically beneficial, inviting spaces, establishing more intricate connections between the dwellers of the neighbourhood, the NEXT school, the mall and other surrounding functions. The project aims to introduce new, adaptable urban spaces to be used by the inhabitants of Bispebjerg.

The proposal combines architecture and programmatic solutions in the building that will improve wellbeing and benefit city dwellers and stakeholders in the area. By looking at both missing and existing functions, conditions and infrastructures - and adding to them - this project demonstrates how architecture can contribute to creating a sustainable economy, urban densification, as well as the inhabitant’s welfare.
