Abstract

This Master’s thesis aims to change the way rainwater in cities are seen and used. Rainwater is a resource, and like all other resources it needs to be used in the best possible way and not be misused. The site of intervention is Mastrup Delta in Støvring, Denmark. The project encompasses the implementation of rainwater management for a larger area in the city. Using rainwater in cites has several advantages for the city, it increases the physical and mental health of the inhabitants and is a one of several tools to make a city more liveable. By crossing between the theories of ‘liveability’ and ‘learning’, the project aims to design a recreational space in Støvring which creates a cycle where water management both solves water problems and provides the local community with a new identity. Learning is a good tool for raising awareness of a subject, which is why this thesis is using learning as a tool for raising awareness of rainwater and the nature we live in. The project is strategy-based and contains three scenarios of water management on site. The three different scenarios are analysed and compared in order to find a water strategy that the project will be based on. The chosen scenario also needs to consider the visions of both Rebild Municipality and Rebild Forsyning. The result is a strategy plan for Mastrup Delta in Støvring. The strategy plan includes an open-air learning centre which functions as a path system around the site that connects different programmes such as learning programmes, recreational programmes and sport programmes.
