Abstract

Liveable Water is a project aiming to design a better, healthier, and more liveable Inner Nørrebro, by transforming the urban public space to resolve climate adaptation at the surface, and at the same time create sensorial experiences. The project builds upon a holistic approach emphasizing four parameters relevant to the urban environment: water, the grown, materials, and the performative. As a unity, they offer a healthy environment beneficial to the urban dweller and create green, diverse experiences accentuating water in favor of the wellbeing of people. Through a complementary approach, focusing on the rational and aesthetic, a strategy for water management has been developed to support the conceptual design for a delay area in Hans Tavsens Park, and two detailed designs concerning a zoom in at Rantzausgade and Askovgårdens Plads.
