diverse visionary green city

Site: Refshaleon or Saltholm

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
