Stanno lavorando per un mondo migliore
Gli architetti Julien de Smedt e gli architetti di CEBRA in collaborazione con Louis Paillard e SeArch hanno vinto il concorso per la custruzione di un complesso residenziale al porto di Aarhus. Saranno 200 appartamenti in edifici la cui struttura ricorderà quella degli icebergs, da cui il nome Iceberg Project.
Il termine dei lavori è previsto per il 2010.

The Aarhus Harbour development provides a huge opportunity for Denmark’s second largest city to develop in a socially sustainable way by renovating its old, out-of-use container terminal. The area is meant to become a living city quarter, comprised of a multitude of cultural and social activities, a generous amount of workplaces, and of course, a highly mixed and diverse array of housing types.
The Iceberg Project seeks to locate itself within the goals of the overall city development. A third of the project’s 200 apartments will be set aside as affordable rental housing, aimed at integrating a diverse social profile into the new neighborhooddevelopment.
The project’s main obstacle is the density set up for the development, the desired square meters are in conflict with the specified site height restrictions and the overall intentions of providing ocean views along with good daylight conditions.
The Iceberg negotiates this problematic, by remaining far below the maximum heights at points and emerging above the dotted line at other moments. “Peaks” and “canyons” form; eliciting the project’s iconic strength while ensuring that all flats will be supplied with a generous amount of natural lighting and waterfront views.

La Cina
"In ogni turista cova un romantico, un uomo che ha il desiderio di "perdersi", per poi magari rigenerarsi. Ma cosa significa "perdersi"? Diciamo che significa non riuscire a orientarsi, perchè orientarsi, nel suo senso più ampio e originario, richiede la conoscenza di certi luoghi e la loro organizzazione in una trama di riferimenti visibili e no".
