Enabling a lively neighbourhood
UiWE won an invited competition to design temporary urban spaces in the new neighbourhood of Carlsberg with architectural office Keinicke & Overgaard. Our project turns selected squares in this unique, former industrial area into places where visitors can both hang out and be physically active. UiWE were responsible for the overall planning of the area and designed two squares: “Under the Pentroof” creates a unique, playful urban space with some 3200 ropes. Plads E hosts a café, new urban signage, places to sit and play.
Play like you’re at home
At UiWE our focus was creating new ways for people to use the area, dividing different types of traffic and users using simple graphic elements and urban furniture. An ambition was to enable people to feel at home in this industrial area. We aspired to enable people to redesign the area over time (as in your own home), making the urban furniture movable and flexible.
Carlsberg urban design was presented at the Venice Biennale 2010.
