The Modern Castle
Europan 10 Augustenborg - 1st Prize.Project Team:Morten Vedelsbøl (DK)Scott Grbavac (US)Axel Theman (SE)In collaboration with DEVE Architects in Copenhagen (www.deve.dk)Augustenborg's symmetry has been generated by the historic castle, and it's harbor dominated by obsolete industrial facilities. 'The Modern Castle' proposes that the old industrial ruins be repurposed as dense cultural cultural buildings. This scheme also seeks to to emphasize the difference between the town and the landscape by articulating their contrasting relationships to the inlet. The urban connection to the waterfront is improved with the addition of a dense series of new buildings and plazas that respond to the scale of the existing town. Views out to the landscape are preserved, and the new public spaces extend to wildlife areas around Augustenborg. To improve the landscape's water connection, storage areas are withdrawn from the inlet, and the shoreline is filled with dense grasses, plants, and trees that blend into the natural environment. The new landscape is then 'farmed' for energy, which is transfered to the urban side via the dike.
