This week, we’ve hosted the design competition ”Finding shelter: a refuge for the co-existence of humans and non-humans” with the participation of 10 teachers and 20 students from other European universities.

The competition is basically the redesign for a typical Danish camping shelter integrating it with nature.

It’s part of an Erasmus+ project called ARCH4CHANGE that our Research Lab 3 is doing in collaboration with Tampere University, TU Dublin, University of Bologna and Taltech from Estonia.

ARCH4CHANGE is a climate emergency curriculum for architecture education, fit for the 21st century.

Today, the students presented their designs in the Didaktek, and here’s a small sample of their work and some pix from the process. Good job, guys!

Unit 2/3D har gennemført en to ugers workshop om digitale workflows, hvor de bl.a. har været en tur på Moesgaard Museum for at tage billeder af artefakter, som siden er blevet 3D-printet og støbt i gips og ler.

Her i videoen kan du se og høre mere om forløbet, og ikke mindst kan du opleve Bob Trempes fænomenale, dybe stemme. Han har undervist på forløbet sammen med @matthias.k.h og @madshulsroy 👏

100 first-year students have spent the last two weeks theoretically as well as practically dealing with obsolescence. They took apart, cleaned, repaired and transformed 20 office chairs which were initially saved from the dump and are now up for sale.

NORDMAK har besøgt Finland

I starten af februar 2023 var det igangværende NORDMAK hold (Nordisk Master i Arkitektonisk Kulturarv) i Finland. Holdet var i særdeles gode hænder og blev guidet rundt af Alvar Aalto Foundation og Aalto universitetet og underholdt af en række dygtige rundvisere og forelæsere.
Semesterugens overordnede tema var ”nye perspektiver på arkitektonisk kulturarv” med modernismens og velfærdsstatens bygninger i fokus og holdet var blandt andet i Helsinki, Turku, Tampere, Noormarkku, Rauma og Espoo. Turen indebar desuden overnatning og undervisning på Alvar Aaltos Paimo Sanatorium og besøg i Villa Mairea. Også Bryggmans kapel, Sibelius Museet, Kaleva Kirke blev besøgt ligesom Parlamentet, Finlandia, Lasipalatsi og Kiasma i Helsinki var på listen over besigtelser der blev studeret med henblik på at forstå problematikker og udfordringer i restaurering og bevaring af nyere tids arkitektur. Turen bød også på sauna og badning i iskolde søer, sociale arrangementer i blandt andet Aaltos Studio og selvfølgelig netværksopbygning på tværs af de Nordiske lande. Frem til sommer skal de studerende skrive opgaver på baggrund af turen til Finland og i efteråret 2023 skal de skrive afsluttende masterafhandling.

Interesseret?
NORDMAK er en nordisk masteruddannelse i arkitektonisk kulturarv med base på Arkitektskolen Aarhus og samarbejder i Norge, Sverige og Finland.
Næste hold starter september 2024. Læs mere her:

“Collective Digest” by Tyra Matilda Rex.

Through a transformation of Aarhus Slaughterhouse into a sustainable food facility, Collective Digest serves as a table to promote ecological design conversations with more than human actors, like plants, bacteria, and fungi, on a broader notion of metabolism but also reflects on the architecture that responds to this entangled paradigm.

The project celebrates metabolic acts by making the hidden visible and by transferring ‘metabolism’ qualities, like growth, decay, nutrient release, and digestion, to the domain of building and construction materials.

The program is designed as an ecosystem in a feedback chain of physiological exchanges, willing to provide, through architecture, a dialogic ground to respond to the alienation between people and their food provisions.

The result is an architecture that has an expressive capacity to metabolize, digest, and generate resources while reorganizing processes and systems, and imagining new rituals, materials, and spaces to support those needs.

Collective Digest celebrates an architecture that is relational, reversible, heterogeneous, and plural, that operates beyond its formal definition, in relation, always, with Others.

Tyra Matilda Rex received the Vola Grant as well as the CEBRA Prize at the graduation ceremony on 27 Jan.

This semester, students from Unit 2/3F have been challenged to confront a very peculiar context, the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul, chosen as a place of abundance, historical value and alive, ongoing evolution - but also as an inspiring architectural environment.

The students were challenged to envision speculative trajectories for the near future of the Bazaar and to design interventions of different natures in response, which led to a variety of approaches and even definitions of what an architectural project could be today - from strategic re-programming to creative transformation, to participatory co-creation, to detailing and material redefinition, and more.

The title of Anna Mueller’s semester project is “Fluid Boundaries: Entangled relationships along the coast”.

The project envisions an architectural typology fluid with time and geography. It is a homage to
environmental conditions and micro-ecologies present on the Danish West Coast, engaging with
non-material agents such as sound, light, water, wind, and sand.

Using two common species of brown macroalgae, Fucus vesiculosus and Fucus serratus, as the main material,
it explores the liminal space along the coastline as a testing ground for new ways of building.

Investigating
natural cycles of growth and carbon flow, it tries to engage with the seaweed’s transformation at different
stages of its life, including decay.

The hope is to enhance the dialogue between people, the non-human, and the landscape while tying
together speculation, care, and worldly entanglements.
