Abstract
Specialet foreslår Industrial Bath, et offentligt bad placeret i cementfabrikken Aalborg Portland på byens østlige kant. Målet er at skabe en stærk kropslig oplevelse ved at bruge stedets eksisterende kvaliteter. Badet formes af overskudsressourcer fra produktionen—varme, vand og det omformede landskab. Bygningen bruger også fabrikkens eget materiale—cement, udtrykt som beton—som sin arkitektoniske ramme, så betons kvaliteter bliver synlige, og stedets historie, før og nu, kan fortælles. På den måde fungerer stedet både som offentligt bad og som udstillingsvindue for industrien. Planen er organiseret langs en klar akse gennem Portland-landskabet, på en bakkeskråning over en stor ferskvandssø. Indenfor tilbyder en sekvens af rum forskellige temperaturer og stemninger. I et større perspektiv inviterer projektet folk ind i et normalt lukket industriområde og udfordrer forholdet mellem en levende industri og resten af Aalborg.
The thesis proposes Industrial Bath, a public bath set within the Aalborg Portland cement plant on the city’s eastern edge. It aims to create a strong, bodily experience by using the site’s existing qualities. The baths are shaped by surplus resources from production—heat, water, and the reshaped landscape. The building also uses the plant’s own material—cement, expressed as concrete—as its architectural framework, making the qualities of concrete visible and telling the site’s past and present story. In this way, the place works both as a public bath and as a showroom for the industry. The plan is organized along a clear axis through the Portland landscape, on a hillside above a large freshwater lake. Inside, a sequence of rooms offers different temperatures and atmospheres. More broadly, the project invites people into a usually closed industrial area and challenges the relationship between a living industry and the rest of Aalborg.
