Article

An article from Harward Design Magazine called Design for Rising Sea Levels by Jonathan Barnet and Kristina Hill is available in the office now. Read it and let's discuss it next week!

Friday

The lecture on friday by Anders Larsson will start 08.30 instead of 08.00. Then we continue with pin-up after the break.

There are no list of things you should include in the pin-up. Just think about it as a presentation for someone who hasn't been introduced to the project before.

Saltholm: Plan of the island in oresund, plan of the island in appropriate scale, sections...

Skanör/Falsterbo: Plan of the site in relation to Malmö/Öresund, plan of the peninsula in appropriate scale, sections through the peninsula...

Höje Å: Plan of the entire Höje Å in appropriate scale. Sections through different landscapes where you work...

Don't be afraid to make big drawings! Sections could be a meter long or more!

If the drawings mentioned above do not fit into your project at all, please mail Sabina or Fredrik and we will discuss your pin-up.

Comments on program

I've gone through all programs now and mailed you comments. If you haven't recieved any feedback, mail me again on ff@uid.dk and attach you program to be on the safe side.

Some general remarks:

I think most of you are on the right track and have interesting topics!

Be careful with your time and remember you've been researching water topics for 3 weeks. Try to make the site specific research as intense as possible. It's time to produce!

Try to always think in terms of presentation. Almost all programs have been plain text without images. From now on we need to communicate more in all products we finish!

Pin-up friday

This Friday we want you to present your material on the wall in the office. We want you to do this in form of at least 2 A3 posters including text, images, diagrams, sketches ... We don't expect layout masterpieces, but try to ask yourself how you can communicate your message without saying it in words. Even though you maybe work in groups doing research we want you all to present individually.

Deadline is friday 3PM. We will go through your work and then we meet monday afternoon and discuss more.

Questions? Mail me at ff@uid.dk

Book review

Book review

Cool it
Björn Lomborg
2007

In the book the author looks at the climate change discussion from a different point of view, maybe it is a little bit provocative.
I do think that it was refreshing to hear his side of the story.
Maybe we have blown up the climate thing a little bit too much?
How should we act to minimize it but at the same time cope with the other problems that we have in the world???

Ideas:
Diverse visionary green city,
( -Diverse: diverse design-vice aswell as population, user-vice, class vice -Visionary: to experiment and create something new,conceptual Green: sustainability through planlayout, materials and techniques aswell as in the literal sense: lots of green areas, climbing gardens, green roofs etc…)integration of the latest technical sustainable environmental innovations

-create a landmark to visually connect Sweden(Turning Torso) and Denmark(??)-strengthen the "region"

Guidelines, Methods:
-Research on the latest technical innovations within the field of environmentally, sustainable planning- (Literature: “Living systems”?)
- Research of current examples of sustainable “eco-cities”: Dongtan, Foster and Partners etc.
- Try to implement the positive qualities of Christiania such as: possibilities for individual expression, diversity, something “different”
-The concept of space in-between, non-plan in-mind: leave spaces for alternative uses..(literature: “spaces of uncertainty", "non-plan”)
-Urban exploration: leave “traces” and remnants of former uses, contrasts between old and new
-Space Syntax theory: the theoretical base for decisions regarding the placement of areas, streets where you want a higher number of people. Commercial streets , public parks, waterfront pedestrian walks, playgrounds etc….
-Cullen´s ideas on creating a diverse “humane” built environment

Saltholm-Integrated Design

I am going to work with Saltholm; focusing on the integration of built and natural landscapes.

I will use a method of non-planning to achieve my goal to plan Saltholm for non-planning.

Through the investigation of both the positive and negetive impacts of developing the island; through self sufficient, sustainable community design.

I plan to prepair a final design for Saltholm after researching and roleplaying possible senerios for the island.

Non-Plan

Article published in ’New Society Magazine;’ March 20th, 1969

Non-Plan: an experiment in freedom

Written by: Paul Barker, Peter Hall, and co-contributors Reyner Banham, and Cedric Price

Paul Barker and Peter Halls idea: ’could things be any worse if there was no planning at all?’

From this they came up with the term: Non-Plan

They consider such questions and thoughts throughout the article as:

’Why not have the courage, where practical, to let people shape their own environments?’

’Why don’t we dare trust the choices that would evolve if we let them?’

’Why do people seem so afraid of freedom?’

The subsequent chapters presented throughout the book are essays and
articles alike which were written in response to this idea of ’Non-Plan.’

There were reflections on the role the government has played in society in response to these ideas; as told by Barry Curtis in ’The Heart of the City’

As well as outrageous ideas collaborated by Hadas Steiner in ’Off the Map;’
and a look at what has happened since the release of this article by Johnathan Hughes in ’After Non-Plan’

FREEDOM:
-Is freedom determined by power?
-Is freedom lost when there is planning?
-We fight for freedom but at the same time we
are afraid of it?
-Why has it become so hard to accept change?

POWER:
-Who has the power to create freedom?
-Does power regulate planning?
-Do people give up their freedom to power?
-Has power become such an integrated part
of society that we cannot live without it?
-Does power give people the right to create
change?

PLANNING:
-Is planning controlled by power?
-Does freedom exist with planning?
-Can planning be the voice of everyone or
does there have to be a compromise?

Please feel free to contribute further to this blogg. If you want to read the book, we suggest starting with chapter 1; Paul Barker: Thinking the Unthinkable and chapter 14; Jonathan Hughes: After Non-Plan, to give a basic understanding of the Non-Plan idea.
