<\/a>SLA Landscape Architects are one of the most exciting and innovative Landscape Architects working today. Rasmus Alstrup one of the project directors from SLA gave the students a talk about their sustainable approach and philosophy, explained through their own project examples. Many thanks to Rasmus for his time and effort – the talk was inspiring for everyone.<\/p>\nThe third day was again spent in the centre of Copenhagen, beginning with a talk by SLA landscape architects and followed by a walk around the southern side of Copenhagen […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":837,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-course-visits-trips","category-student-course-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2027","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2027"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2027\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a> Following the talk we had a tour of the office and had a look at their model making room where an student intern was working on a planting scheme using pins and coloured circles to represent each of the trees –\u00a0 a beautiful approach to detailed 3D planting design.

The entire development is very close to the groundwater level and includes a meandering river throughout. We visited…<\/p>\n<\/a> …the Tietgen Hall of Residence,<\/p>\n<\/a> …the Jean Nouvel designed Concert Hall,<\/p>\n<\/a> …and the central water channel through the university campus.<\/p>\n<\/a> Ellen distorted in the mirrored orb in Orestad.<\/p>\n<\/a> Following Orestad we walked northwest towards Christianshaven to visit a small courtyard enclosed by residential units, a wonderfully intimate series of spaces that create complex boundaries between public and private places.<\/p>\n<\/a> Communal eating area within the courtyard development.<\/p>\n<\/a> The next stop was Christiania – a free-state famous for its self-determined social system and anarchic approach to contemporary society. This was the perfect contrast to the Orestad development – a completely top-down approach compared with a community driven bottom-up approach.<\/p>\n<\/a> Some of the group in Christiania, enjoying the facilities.<\/p>\n<\/a> Public steps in Christiania – not quite based on the official Building Regs!<\/p>\n<\/a> Out of Christiania and into the much more gentrified landscapes of Christianshaven, the Little Amsetrdam of Copenhagen, where the day ended with a visit to the Danish Architecture Centre and a walk past the Black Diamond National Library Extension.<\/p>\n<\/a> The Danish Architecture Centre.<\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0The Black Diamond –\u00a0 extension to the National Library of Denmark.<\/p>\n<\/a> Black Diamond by Jan Lykke (visit Jan Lykke’s website<\/a> for more fantastic\u00a0 photos of Copenhagen waterfront).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
