Aarhus Harbor Bath

丹麦第二大城市正在重新发现其旧港口。当被要求在一个退役码头上对整个岛屿进行总体规划时，我们发现城市生活已经提前到来。一个由几个容器和一堆沙子制成的海滩酒吧证明了生活不需要建筑物——情况恰恰相反。我们决定颠倒这个过程，在周围的建筑之前设计总体规划的公共空间，所以这些建筑是由它们之前的生活塑造的。一条新的公共长廊将城市与大海连接起来。我们没有礼貌地跟随码头，而是提出了一个脉动的轨迹，定义了一系列陆地和水上的新公共空间：一个海港浴场、一个漂浮的海滩、一个剧院和一系列在公共领域建造为凉亭的浴室。建筑物之间的生活，领先于建筑物本身。我们沿着海滨设计了三个结构。两座带有露台的房屋山峰标志着港口的入口。将长廊从水中延伸到天空的金字形酒店。还有一座钟楼——大本钟的一种住宅形式——被设计成一个独立的细长钟楼，让居民可以住在钟面内。我们经常发现自己无法在老街区创造出我们喜欢的古怪魅力。通过让生命至上，我们在奥胡斯创造了一个城市岛屿，被现实生活的自然副作用所感染。
Denmark's second largest city is in the process of rediscovering its old port. Asked to master-plan an entire island on a decommissioned pier, we found that city life had already arrived ahead of us. A beach bar made with a few containers and a pile of sand was proof that life doesn't need the buildings- it is the other way around. We decided to reverse the process and design the public space of the master plan before the surrounding buildings, so the buildings are shaped by the life that preceded them. A new public promenade connects the city to the sea. Rather than politely following the quayside, we propose a pulsating trajectory defining a series of new public spaces on land and water: a harbor bath, a floating beach, a theater, and a series of bathhouses built as pavilions in the public realm. Life between the buildings, ahead of the buildings themselves. We designed three structures, along the waterfront. Two peaks of homes with terraces marking the entrance to the port. A ziggurat hotel extending the promenade from the water into the sky. And a campanile-a residential form of Big Ben---designed as a freestanding slender clock tower, allowing its residents to live inside the clockface. We often find ourselves unable to create the quirky charm that we love in old neighborhoods. By allowing life to come first, we have created an urban island in Aarhus infected by some of the imperfections that are the natural side effects of real life.
