This project seeks to radically challenge the Lynetteholm proposal that is underway on the coast of Copenhagen, Denmark. Going against the grain of theoriginal Lynetteholm proposal (an artificial island), this project displays the possibility of minimal impact instead of detrimental impact on the ocean- scape and lightness instead of the heaviness of a human-made island through the literal inversion of the typical skyline. Via a series of oppositions to the existing project, Skyvillages imagines new urban strategies and forms of life for the year 2070m seeking to address many of the ongoing disruptions introduced by the global climate crisis. Facing the possibility of severe flooding,this project uses an arterial flood-wall, formally derived from Copenhagen’s historic architecture, to protect the city.
CPH SKYVILLAGES is a project developed in the Master in Advanced Architecture 01 - 2022-2023 (IAAC) by the student(s) Swohm Chattopdhyay, Rafaela Müller and Federico Lacasia during the course MAA01 22/23 X-Urban Design Studio with Mariano Gomez-Luque and Willy Müller.
