The first stripes are being painted to mark up a contemporary, intimate and social urban space in the neighbourhood of Carlsberg. We hope to see you for the opening of the first of three squares June 24 where Carlsberg hosts a grand opening with an outdoor screening of the World Cup match between Denmark and Japan.

UiWE have been chosen to design temporary urban spaces in the new neighbourhood of Carlsberg with architectural office Keinicke & Overgaard and a team consisting of Primus Arkitekter and Streeetmovement. Our project aims to turn this unique old industrial area into places where you feel welcome, at home and encouraged to both hang out and be active. The first of three squares is expected to open by the end of June.

UiWE has been selected for the second phase of the Køge Kyst competition, aiming at the development of a new, sustainable urban area along the coast of Køge as a part of a team of five companies (Carl Bro Grontmij, 2+1, Ekstrakt, Oxford Research and Polyform). We are responsible for qualifying the cultural strategies of the project. We are looking forward to develop a cultural planning toolkit fit for Køge.
Cheers!

UiWE made a film about the NYP (Netværk for yngre planlæggere/ Network for Young Planners) Wintercamp held by Amager Vest Lokaludvalg at ITU in January. The 14-minute film documents the process as well as the ideas proposed to develop the diverse area of Amager Vest. Showing cases, discussions, workflow and presentations, the film gives an impression of the NYP cross-disciplinary approach to planning.

UiWE has been prequalified for the parallel competition for the future development of KØGE KYST with a strong team consisting of Polyform, Grontmij Carl Bro, 2+1, Ekstrakt and Oxford Research. The competion aims at realizing a high-profile strategic project in the 24 hectar area involving the town opening up towards the water and linking the new part of town to the historical town centre.

UiWe and the task-force for public-private partnerships at Erhvervs- og byggestyrelsen (Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority) arranged a workshop at the municipality of Copenhagen on collaboration, culture and value in urban planning and administration. The workshop was attended by lawyers and economists of KEC (Copenhagen Center of Business), Center for Bydesign (Center of Urban Design) and Borgerservice (Citizen services )

This autumn we produced 11 short films capturing the events of LYSLYD– a regional project revolving around the development of urban culture, business & innovation in the Copenhagen region. The result is 11 stories from today’s urban and suburban Denmark mirrored in the projects of Danish and international artists.

”Herlev i Farver” and ”Herlev’s Stemmer” (”Herlev in Colour” / ”The Voices of Herlev”) is a film about two audio walks by Claus Handberg taking place in Herlev DK.
