Abstract

Klimaændringer er en global udfordring, som mennesker mærker i deres lokale omgivelser. Holstebro er blandt de byer i Danmark, der er i risiko. Dette speciale bygger på Holstebro Kommunes overordnede strategi for at håndtere klima-relaterede udfordringer, som efterlyser pilotprojekter dér, hvor påvirkningerne mærkes tydeligst. Specialet foreslår et Naturlaboratorium som et af disse pilotprojekter: et offentligt sted og en ramme for læring, videndeling og oplysning, så gevinsterne kan komme hele byen til gavn. Designet vægter både praktisk funktion og rige sanseoplevelser—hvordan mennesker ser, hører og mærker naturen. Projektet arbejder med centrale dynamikker: naturens foranderlighed, skiftende vandforhold, mangfoldige brugergrupper og forskellige forståelser af natur. Det viser, hvordan disse dynamikker kan omsættes til kvaliteter og potentialer for natur-laboratoriet i Holstebro og for byen som helhed.

Climate change is a global challenge that people experience in their local surroundings. Holstebro in Denmark is among the cities at risk. This thesis builds on Holstebro Municipality’s overall strategy for addressing climate-related challenges, which calls for pilot projects at locations where the impacts are most strongly felt. It proposes a Nature Laboratory as one such pilot: a public place and framework for learning, knowledge sharing, and awareness, so its benefits can reach the wider city. The design emphasizes both practical function and rich sensory experiences—how people see, hear, and feel nature. The project works with key dynamics: nature’s variability, changing water conditions, the diversity of users, and different understandings of nature. It shows how these dynamics can be turned into qualities and potentials for the nature lab in Holstebro and for the city as a whole.
