Abstract
Specialet gentænker en transformatorstation fra 1950’erne i København som et sted for midlertidige boliger og et fælles offentligt rum. Arbejdet forener praksis med teori om omdannelse af eksisterende bygninger samt strukturelle og tektoniske principper—ideer om, hvordan konstruktion organiseres og udtrykkes—for at skabe en ramme for tilpasningsevne og holdbarhed. Projektet reprogrammerer bygningen ved at tilføje to nye bærende elementer, hver med en midlertidig og fleksibel karakter. Disse elementer tilfører nyt liv og gør fremtidige ændringer lettere og mere reversible. Designet underbygges af konstruktionsanalyser med FEM-software (Finite Element Method) og detaljerede studier af samling og funktion. Bygningen opgraderes desuden til at opfylde gældende bygningsregler ved hjælp af en IDP-tilgang, en integreret og samarbejdsbaseret designproces.
This thesis reimagines a 1950s transformer station in Copenhagen as a place for temporary housing and a shared public space. It brings together design practice with theory on altering existing buildings and on structural and tectonic principles—ideas about how structure is organized and expressed—to build a framework for adaptability and durability. The project reprograms the building by adding two new structural elements, each designed to be time-limited and flexible. These elements introduce new uses while making later modifications easier and more reversible. The design is supported by structural analyses using FEM (Finite Element Method) software and detailed studies of assembly and performance. The building is also upgraded to meet current regulations using an IDP approach, an integrated and collaborative design process.
