Kalvebrod Waves
Firm
Kalvebod
Brygge is situated opposite the well established Copenhagen summer
hang out, Islands Brygge. Kalvebod Brygge has the potential to be
Islands Brygge more urban counterpart but has, until now, been
synonymous with a desolated office address devoid of life and public
activities.
This
new waterfront will be a place for a larger spectrum of public
activities. With a close connection to the central train station and
Tivoli, Copenhagen’s famous city amusement park, ‘Kalvebod
Bølge’, the ‘Kalvebod Waves’ will become a hub, buzzing with
activity and providing a chance for the inner city to regain its
connection to the harbour. Constituted more by its functionality than
its tradition, this inner city site is less fragile than others and
manifests Copenhagen’s contemporary urban waterfront with
neighbouring entities such as the Black Diamond Library and the
Nykredit building. According to the schedule the complex should be
finished mid 2010.
The
project consists of two main plazas, which extend across the water
and are positioned with regards to sunlight and wind conditions. To
the south, the pier allows for a flexible public space on the water
with facilities to host events related to the creative industry.
During the last 10 years Copenhagen has developed into a stronghold
for the creative class, therefore Kalvebod Brygge proposes an urban
showcase that gives organizations, companies, festivals and fairs a
location along the waterfront.
In
connection with this space, an active water enclave is created, for
various water related activities. The plaza and surrounding pontoons
provide the necessary facilities for these activities to function.
The flow of boats that commute to and from the water hub also creates
an active maritime background and secures the connectivity of the
plaza to the rest of the city.
The
second square acts as an oasis on the water, providing both proximity
and access. This recreational space, with a beach, allows for a break
from the hectic pace of urban life, where a floating garden is
proposed. A maritime park where urban and maritime life meet.
