P166 - BIOSIS selected to rethink ECV by Morten Vedelsbøl

We at BIOSIS are honored to have been selected by ECV (EnergiCenter Voldparken) to develop a visionary plan for the former Voldparken School area. An iconic and distinctive masterpiece designed by architect Kay Fisker and built in the period 1952 - 1957.

A school of well-proportioned prismatics buildings connected to one functional and architectural whole. Landscape architect C.Th. Sørensen added a strong landscape plan of sycamore trees, which today brings a convincing harmony to the whole building complex.

The basic ambition of the project is to create a new and outward-looking ECV that opens up and connects the whole area as an epicentre of NATURE, CULTURE, HEALTH & SPORTS.

Recognition from the Danish Arts Foundation by Morten Vedelsbøl

BIOSIS work with Climate Driven Design has been recognized with a work grant by the Danish Arts Foundation! The grant will support the continued work with our methodology of sustainable environments of architecture, urbanism and landscape. We are very excited to - even further - unfold the potential this work has to shape the environments and the world around us.

P139 - Working within a folded landscape by Morten Vedelsbøl

First initial sketches of an ambitious new office building where climate driven design is driving the overall layout. The project centers around a south facing interior ‘garden’. A social, green space starts at street level and connects all office floors, creating an climate regulating green ‘lung’ within the building.

The lifted path, becomes a protected boardwalk accessing the southern, climatic comforts in the social eye of the building. The interior landscape regulates the indoor climate - increasing general well being, air quality and acoustics.

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

P116 - Adding Light and Green Houses to PAKHUS 53 in Nordhavn by Morten Vedelsbøl

We just located these two - yet unposted - images of our 2019 project to sustainably redesign one of the former warehouses in Nordhavn - Copenhagen - PAKHUS 53.

Adding light to the 30m deep warehouse space through glass covered ‘winter gardens’ dublicating as meeting rooms. Preserving the caracterful and raw atmosphere of these spaces but changing the function to office spaces, giving these already long lasting buildings another several decades of life.

We have also dug out the daylight studies that we did as a part of this project, and that helped creating both the overall idea and ultimately made the business case for the client.
