Abstract
Byernes struktur ændrer sig hurtigt, og bydesign har brug for et nyt blik. Denne kandidatafhandling fokuserer på urban voids – underudnyttede rum i den byggede by – som en vigtig ressource med skjulte potentialer, der kan blive centrale for fremtidig byudvikling. Afhandlingen udvikler et koncept for at bruge disse tomrum som katalysatorer for forbedringer i deres omgivelser. Projektet kombinerer analyser, et pragmatisk designforslag, et solidt teoretisk grundlag og et casestudie for at vise, hvordan idéen kan fungere i praksis. Designet balancerer praktikalitet, økonomisk gennemførlighed og kreativitet for at skabe en realistisk forståelse af det undersøgte sted og inspirere til bredere brug af urban voids i bydesign. Resultatet er en klar og virkningsfuld vision for, hvordan urban voids kan drive byudvikling, understøttet af tekniske oplysninger, der dokumenterer, at tilgangen er realiserbar.
Cities are changing quickly, and urban design needs a fresh perspective. This master’s thesis focuses on urban voids—underused spaces within the built environment—as a key resource with hidden potential that could become central to future urban development. The thesis develops a concept for turning these spaces into catalysts for improvements in their surroundings. It combines analysis, a pragmatic design proposal, established theory, and a case study to show how the idea can work in practice. The design balances practicality, economic feasibility, and creativity to build a realistic understanding of the site and to inspire wider use of urban voids in urban design. The outcome is a clear and evocative vision of urban voids as drivers of urban development, supported by technical information that demonstrates the feasibility of the approach.
