A Sensory Urban Space In a Dense Neighbourhood / Sanseligt byrum i en tæt by

“Slowing down could mean smaller and deeper worlds," lyder det i CAFx’ program. Tegnestuen entasis inviterer indenfor til deres bud på en "lille og dyb verden." I Nordhavns nye, summende bykvarter har entasis med projektet Red Block skabt en frodig lomme af tæt by. Der er bygget nyt omkring det gamle, transformeret og fortættet i en eksisterende karré af rødstensbygninger. Restaurant, erhverv og boliger sikrer liv og tryghed døgnet rundt. Mellem bygningerne opstår en intens, frodig byhave.

Red Block viser, hvordan vi kan bygge tæt og optimere pladsen i byen, hvordan vi kan bygge med materialer, der patinerer smukt, hvordan omhu i arkitekturen kan give byggeriet en lang tidshorisont, og hvordan vi kan skabe kvalitet i mellemrummene. I Red Block sættes farten ned.

Den guidede tur er tilgængelig for kørestolsbrugere.

ENG:

“Slowing down could mean smaller and deeper worlds," as stated in the CAFx programme. The architecture studio entasis invites you into their take on such a “small and deep world.” In Nordhavn’s vibrant new urban district, entasis has created a lush pocket of dense city life with the Red Block project. New structures have been built around the old, transforming and densifying an existing block of red-brick buildings. Restaurants, businesses, and housing ensure activity and a sense of safety around the clock. Between the buildings, an intense and verdant urban garden emerges.

Red Block demonstrates how we can build densely and make optimal use of urban space; how we can build with materials that age beautifully; how care in architectural design lends buildings longevity; and how we can create quality in the in-between spaces. In Red Block, the pace is slowed.

The guided tour is accessible to wheelchair users.
