Abstract
Specialet undersøger udfordringer og muligheder ved at designe højhuse med blandede funktioner (mixed-use) under danske forhold. Mixed-use betyder, at flere funktioner samles i én bygning, fx bolig, arbejde og service. Målet er en nutidig løsning, der balancerer praktisk funktion med høj arkitektonisk kvalitet og udnytter fordelene ved både at bygge i højden og kombinere anvendelser. Designet sigter mod at definere en ny type højhus i Danmark. Det er ikke blot et iøjnefaldende ikon i glas og stål; det er lagdelt, og kvaliteterne træder frem ved en dybere analyse af bygningens komposition.
This thesis examines the challenges and opportunities of designing mixed-use high-rise buildings in a Danish context. Mixed-use means bringing different functions together in one building, such as living, working, and services. The goal is a contemporary solution that balances practical performance with high architectural quality, taking advantage of both building tall and combining uses. The design aims to define a new type of high-rise for Denmark. Rather than just a striking glass-and-steel icon, it is layered, with qualities that emerge through deeper analysis of the building’s composition.
