Green Visions for Copenhagen & L´Aquila

Vision

During the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen (5th Dec 2009 – 18th Dec 2009) the UIA conducts a student workshop for visions of a greener, better future.

Taking two different Cities and situations as an example the students from 4 countries will invent vision how to:

  • (Re)build the demolished CityL´Aquila
  • (Re)furbish and transformthe existing Copenhagen

into a zero-emission, carbon free, and sustainable environment.

The students will work in international teams together, investigate, and visualize the potential for a green future in Copenhagen and L´Aquila. In a final presentation the results will be discussed by a group of experts from all participating institutions.

Agenda

The project will discuss the question how criteria’s for sustainable architecture can be integrated into the design of the future cities.

As in inspiration and basis of the discussion for the open forum of the UIA the workshop can give ideas and provide images of how the future cities will transformed to meet the challenges of a sustainable development. The discussion and the project will also include the role that architecture as a discipline can contribute to a sustainable future.

Date

The workshop will take place between 6th Dec and 12thDec 2009.

Process

Students will work in teams of four, which will be composed of students from all schools. In each team will integrate representatives from the different cultures. There will be 12 teams each of which will focus on one specific topic in the realm of sustainability and climate change:

1. Traffic in the city

2. Renewable energies

3. Urban energy and resource networks

4. Water

5. Resources and building materials

6. Recycling, reuses, waste-management

7. Demography

8. Changing landscape (sea level, nature, renaturation)

9. Social and cultural infrastructure

10. Public and private spaces in the cities

11. Revitalization of the city and buildings

12. Affordable living spaces

13. Flexibility and live cycle of city infrastructure and buildings – (in case we have more students and teams)

Presentation

Ideas will be presented on a very visual level. The students work should be visionary and visual. Each group will continuously work on their presentation. The results of each step will be gathered in one presentation board, where all the material is collected during the work process. During the week workshop the students will add and successively. On those presentation boards sketches, collages, reliefs, photomontages, and other techniques can be combined, replace, and transformed into the final presentation.

Lectures

During the one-week workshop several experts from the participating schools and research institutes will present state of the art technologies and future developments in the field of energy-efficient architecture and sustainable development to the students. Hopefully many of the participants of the open forum of the UIA can give lectures or take part in the discussion.

1. (Re)build the City. L´Aquila

Location: Two Villages around l’Aquila, destroyed from one Earthquake in April 2009:

  • Poggio Picenze (1013 Inhabitants )
  • Cesa di Preturo ( 797 Inhabitants)

Plans and information are already in our Hands.

Outcome of the project

The results will be discussed in l'Aquila with the authorities and the residents and the work will be continued into research projects.

2. (Re)organize and (Re)furbish. Copenhagen

Location: We need to find an appropriate location(s) in Copenhagen for the planned interventions: brown field areas, former industrial sights, social hot spots, etc. The sights will be selected by the participating Universities before the workshop.

Outcome of the project

For this second strategy we could involve Velux. We can develop together a strategy for the “extroversion” of the dwellings (more windows, winter gardens, loggias, terraces, balconies, and solar collectors) and try it to systematize and further and also elsewhere use

Modus operandi

We offer to the students the 2 topics or strategies for L´Aquila and Copenhagen. They can choose the city and the topic. In each group are maximally 15 students and 2 teachers. Every group has to be mixed from the different countries.
