Abstract
Dette speciale undersøger de fysiske og rumlige egenskaber ved havnefrontens kant (overgangen mellem land og vand) og dens rolle i byomdannelse. Med udsigt til omdannelse af havnefronten i Stavanger, Norge, fokuserer studiet på, hvordan udformningen af denne kant kan præge områdets fornyelse. Arbejdet består af to dele: en analytisk del og et designforslag. Analysen giver et kort historisk overblik over vandets betydning i byer og gennemgår, hvordan efterindustrielle havnefronter er blevet forandret. Den sammenligner forskellige havnefronters former, funktioner og rekreative anvendelser for at finde fælles træk. På den baggrund skitseres en strukturel 'grammatik' (nøgleelementer og relationer, der beskriver, hvordan kanter fungerer). Designdelen gennemgår tankegangen bag et forslag til Stavangers kant og tydeliggør forskellen mellem generel havnefrontudvikling og den specifikke udformning af selve kanten.
This thesis examines the physical and spatial qualities of the waterfront edge (the line where land meets water) and its role in urban regeneration. With plans to redevelop the waterfront in Stavanger, Norway, the study focuses on how the design of this edge can shape the area’s renewal. The work has two parts: an analytical study and a design proposal. The analysis offers a brief history of the importance of water in cities and reviews how post-industrial waterfronts have transformed. It compares the shapes, functions, and recreational uses of different waterfronts to identify common patterns. From these findings, it outlines a structural 'grammar' (key elements and relationships that describe how edges work). The design section traces the thinking behind a proposal for Stavanger’s edge and clarifies the difference between broad waterfront development and the specific design of the edge itself.
