Abstract

Haraldsgade-kvarteret in Copenhagen, shaped by its industrial past, transitioned from fields to a thriving industrial hub in the late 1800s. Industrial decline in the mid-1900s led to residential developments, replacing most industrial structures while some remain and contribute to the neighbourhood’s identity. Urban redevelopment often prioritizes new construction, erasing historical narratives and triggering gentrification. With Legacy Lab, the goal is to reuse both tangible and intangible elements of industrial heritage to create a hybrid public condenser that contributes to preserving neighbourhood identity in an area undergoing urban redevelopment.
