Abstract

The project focusses on the mix of public program in the Skydebanehaven, creating a Public Condenser for Vesterbro, Copenhagen. This neighbourhood is in transition from working-class dwelling area to a hip and young neighbourhood, fuelled by the eco-gentrification of Copenhagen. The Public Condenser connects to the (non-) physical networks of the city, integrating urban routes into the design of the public space around and on the building. Through a bottom-up approach, the Skydebanehaven is converted into a meaningful place for Vesterbro, where the different programmatic zones are placed along a passage from an urban park to the urban plaza. With the different types of program, different target groups are attracted during the day, week and season, creating a vibrant Machine of Public Facilities.
