As I am a student myself I thought it is important to not just talk about architecture and sustainability but also students, society in general and how we can make our world a better place and help others. See how small actions can do big difference to the world.

I will be going back to Denmark in august and it happens that I am in the situation of needing a bike. My old bike did not survive the last Danish winter and believe me when I tell you, that a student living in Copenhagen needs a bike to get around the city, to go the fast and easy way from home to the university and in my case it only takes 30 minutes by bike and not the 60 minutes by bus to get through the city…

Inauguramos hoy una nueva web: What if …? cities

Esta web está asociada a nuestra intervención en la exposición que hoy se inaugura en el Lousiana Museum de Dinamarca. Con ella, queremos que la exposición pueda llegar a un público mayor y abrirse a la participación de ciudadanos de todo el mundo.

Tal como lo explicamos en la sección “info” de la web , “creemos que la mayor parte de los problemas pueden ser resueltos por las ciudades. El proyecto what if…?cities (cuya traducción sería algo como “qué pasaría si las ciudades…?”) será una colección de ideas de gente de distintas disciplinas de todo el mundo, presentando sus visiones de una urbanidad alternativa futura”.

The 1st of October – it happened! What many citizens of Copenhagen have been looking forward to. The day when they shut down one of the most busy streets for cars, Norrebrogade, Copenhagen N. The street is one of the main thoroughfares of the capital – and it will be permanently closed for three months.

Workshops on deprived housing areas in Denmark

Category: architecture+ecosistema urbano+events+⚐ EN

The objective of the workshop is to analyze the physical challenges and problems of the housing area. Though the problems of the area consist of social, economic and physical aspects, this workshop will only focus on the physical aspects.

The intention of the workshop is not to develop solutions but to define the key problems regarding the physical environment: architecture, outdoor spaces and urban planning.
