[Stadens Ånd]: -en udviklingsplan for Christianias fremtid

Abstract

Udgangspunktet for opgaven var, at ingen - trods et utal af forsøg, har formået at finde en løsningsmodel på Christianias fremtid, som begge sider af muren kan acceptere. Visionen var fra begyndelsen, at undersøge hvorfor dette er tilfældet, samt udarbejde vores forslag til opgavesløsningen fra et planlægningsmæssigt syn. Siden da har projektet udviklet sig meget, da Christianias utrolig mange lag er blevet synlige for os; - hver gang man mener, at have fundet en løsning på ét problem, dukker der et nyt op. Dertil har et tilstødende ønske været, at give et bud på, hvordan en sådan opgave burde gribes an, og hvordan aktører med så vidt forskellige holdninger må behandles. I 9. semester projektet -The Urban Designer as Mediator tog vi fat i de alle de involverede aktører hver for sig for at danne et billede af konfliktens omfang og kerneproblemer. Det vidste sig, at problemerne udmunder i, at begge sider af muren gentagende gange har misbrugt kommunikationsmidlerne -mere eller mindre bevidst. Konklusionen var dertil, at for at finde en løsning for Christiania, var der nødt til at findes en anden måde at kommunikere på. Problemformuleringen i dette projekt er på den baggrund et resultat af 9. semesters konklusion. Det er stadig ønsket at udarbejde et konkret løsningsforslag til Christianias fremtidige udvikling, men med det in mente, at projektet samtidig skal være et mæglingsredskab, der via den nedefrakommende tilgang, samt brug af billedligt og håndgribeligt materialer, kan bygge bro mellem de uenige parter. Det skal dertil nævnes, at dette projekt fremstår som en uafhængig rapport, hvilket ikke gør det nødvendigt at læse 9. semester projekter for at forstå indholdet. 9. semester projektet skal i stedet ses som inspirationskilde på samme niveau som andet benyttet litteratur.

The point of departure was for this assignment, that no one – in spite of several tries, has succeeded in finding a solution for the future of Christiania, which both sides of the fence can agree upon. The vision was from the beginning to investigate why this is a fact, and furthermore execute our suggestion to the solution from a design point of view. Since then, the project has developed a lot due to the visualization of the large number of layers under the surface of Christiania. – Every time you believe to have found a solution to one problem - another one appears. According to that, an extensional wish has been to provide a suggestion to how such a case ought to be handled, and how actors with different agendas must be delt with. In the 9th semester project – The Urban Designer as Mediator we grabbed hold in all involved actors separately in order to form a picture of the span of the conflict. It showed that the problems lie in the fact that both sides of the fence several times have mislused the communicative tools – more or less on purpose. The conclusion was in that light, that in order to find a solution for Christiania there had to be found an alternative way to communicate. The problem in this project is in that light a result of the 9th semester conclusion. However it is still the wish to execute a specific solution for the future development of Christiania, but with that in mind, that the project at the same time is a mediating tool, which by the bottom-up approach and the use for illustrative material, contribute in building a bridge between the disagreeing parties. The project gives design-based solution to some of the problems found in the Christiania case. The design is based on an acupuncture approach, where a few selected areas will help heal the whole of Chrisitania. The acupuncuture selected areas are designed with respect for the carateristic Christiania spirit, that saturate all aspects of Christiania. Secondary must be mentioned, that this project must be seen as an in depended report, which does not make it necessary to read the 9th semester report in order to understand the content. The 9th semester project must in stead be seen as a source for inspiration on the same level as other used literature.
