P136 - Competition Win: KONGELUNDEN / by Morten Vedelsbøl

We have won the competition about the vision plan for KONGELUNDEN in Aarhus!

Our proposal zooms out in order to bring together the KONGELUNDEN landscape development with the larger context of the City of Aarhus and the natural forest- and coastal landscape.

Axis reach out from Kongelunden to the surrounding city, coast and water. Architectural elements like gates, paths and piers act as markers giving identity to the entire area, and also hosts info-points and sustainable transport hubs for city bikes.

An adventure route wiggles through the varied forest landscape creating a loop for leisure walking and excercise.

A central landscape clearing connects the stadium with the coastline and at the same time introduces the bold suggestion to divert car traffic away from the area, returning the area to its natural condition.

The project was created together with Architect MAA Jens Thomas Arnfred and Architect MAA/MDL Peter Holst
