Abstract
Viby An Interspace is an urban development project for the suburban expansion of Viby Sjælland based on the theories of landscape urbanism as its philosophical foundation. Viby an Interspace intervenes on Viby’s current direction of expansion by proposing a public belt as the overall structural principle for the town - a belt that consolidates over time concurrently with the construction of suburbia’s detached houses – a way of grasping the mechanisms of suburbia’s market forces. Viby An Interspace thus reverses the image of suburbia and marks a shift away from the perception of a district that is dull and conformist to that of a landscape that is rich, lively and educational.
Viby An Interspace er et byudviklingsprojekt for pendlerbyen Viby Sjælland samt et teoretisk projekt, der finder sit filosofiske ståsted i landskabsurbanismen. Viby An Interspace foreslår et offentligt forløb som greb for byens fremtidige udvikling – et forløb der konsolideres over tid i takt med, at forstadens parcelhuse udbygges. På denne måde griber projektet forstadens og markedskræfternes dynamikker. Viby An Interspace ønsker at få vendt det sædvanlige negative syn på forstaden, fra opfattelsen af forstaden som kedelig og småborgerlig til at være levende og lærende landskaber.
