In the last two decades, Copenhagen and its city authorities have been experiencing problems with pluvial flooding, negative biases to migrants and water service disruption. These problem statements are touching three different levels: environmental, cultural and health. For the Public Building graduation studio, the assignment is to design a Public Condenser. The site is located in Nordvest, a district 5–8 km Northwest from Copenhagen’s city center. Focusing on Nordvest, all three environmental, cultural and health problems are extremely applicable. However, these problems all share a unique relation with water. Architecture can tackle these three problems on environmental, cultural and health levels through water as common theme. Thus, this research examines how a public condenser can celebrate cultural variety through water and at the same time provide a water infrastructure for the neighborhood in Nordvest, Copenhagen.
