Abstract

Dette projekt udspringer af idékonkurrencen "Hamburg Hybrid Housing Competition" arrangeret af CTRL+Space i 2015 og tager udgangspunkt i St. Pauli i Hamborg. Det undersøger, hvordan en høj tæthedsbebyggelse (en bygning med mange boliger og funktioner på et relativt lille areal) kan indpasses i det omkringliggende bymiljø. Målet er at skabe en blanding af boligtyper, som kan tiltrække både ældre, par, børnefamilier og studerende. Samtidig indgår forskellige former for erhverv, for eksempel butikker, underholdningssteder og kontorer, så projektet knytter an til bylivet og giver området mere liv. Projektet integrerer både miljømæssige og sociale bæredygtighedshensyn og sigter mod en helhedsorienteret løsning, der balancerer urbanitet (byliv) og hverdagsliv. Som en metode til at tænke hybrid arkitektur (byggeri der kombinerer flere anvendelser) arbejder projektet med tre nøglebegreber: bæredygtighed, urbanitet og det at bo. Det foreslåede design undersøger desuden overgangen mellem det offentlige og det private og placerer bygningen i dette spænd, fra bymiljøets åbenhed til hjemmets privathed.

This project stems from the 2015 "Hamburg Hybrid Housing Competition" by CTRL+Space and focuses on the St. Pauli neighborhood in Hamburg. It explores how a high-density building (one that brings many homes and functions together on a relatively small site) can fit into the existing urban environment. The aim is to provide a mix of housing types that appeal to older adults, couples, families with children, and students. In addition, the design includes commercial spaces such as shops, entertainment venues, and offices so the project connects to the urban fabric and brings life to the area. The work integrates environmental and social sustainability and seeks a holistic design that balances urbanity (city life) with everyday living. As a way to think about hybrid architecture (buildings that combine different uses), the project examines three key themes: sustainability, urbanity, and living. The proposed design also studies the transition between public and private, positioning the building along this spectrum, from the openness of the urban environment to the privacy of home.
