Trust

Trust between citizens is vital to a peaceful society. Denmark is known for very high level of trust in the public space, but changes in society and the increased density in urban areas threaten the trust level. How can the urban environment encourage people to feel at ease and trust each other?

Urban Mobility

Despite the fact that an increasing number of activities can be dealt with remotely, people still need to get around physically. Copenhagen is known for its cycling culture, but urban density requires increasingly complex traffic solutions. How would you develop a solution complying with the future traffic situation in bigger cities?

New Spaces - New Functions

The Nørrebro area in Copenhagen has one of the highest plot ratios in Denmark. That puts extra strain on the flexibility of public spaces.How will our daily lives challenge the thresholds between public and private spaces in the future? What impact will this have on the utility, character and availability of public spaces?

Bringing people and buildings together

The main characteristic of a Charrette project is its ability to bring cultures and knowledge together. Architecture students learn about connectivity from communication students that in turn learn about structure from industrial design students and all learn valuable project management skills.
