Naerum Allotment Gardens by Carl Theodor Sorensen, Denmark, 1952

ie School of Architecture lo descubrió en septiembre de 2011

Nærum, Denmark, are considered one of C. Th. Sørensen 's most important creations. In 1948 40 oval allotment gardens, each measuring c.25 × 15 m/80 × 50 ft, were laid out on a rolling lawn, a common green, in a fluid progression. The gardens are mostly placed so that the oval lies across the curves of the slope. This use of the rolling terrain, combined with the sweeps and curves of the hedges, accentuates the dynamic impression. The individual garden plots are enclosed compartments surrounded by hedges; their cottages may be situated in different ways, but comply with the overall plan. The hedges were originally intended to be both clipped and unclipped, using such species as hornbeam, hawthorn, privet, and roses, but today there are mostly privet and hawthorn, clipped in different heights and forms. The design of the individual garden plots was left up to each owner, but a guide from C. Th. Sørensen shows various models. The allotment gardens are situated close to a large public housing scheme, Nærumvænge, with flats and terraced houses, characterized by its homogeneous look and red hipped roofs. C. Th. Sørensen landscaped the green spaces here also.

Louisiana is not merely an experience in modern and contemporary art, but a congenial reflection of the interplay between art, architecture and landscape. Situated in Denmark on the North Zealand coast in a spacious, old park with a fine view across the sound of Sweden. The park serves as an ideal setting for displaying the museum’s collection of modern sculptures. Similarly the prominent museum buildings, constructed between 1958 and 1998, offer a fascinating background for the permanent collection of 20th century art. It houses an exquisite collection by international artists such as Arp, Francis Bacon, Calder, Dubuffet, Max Ernst, Sam Francis, Giacometti, Henry Moore, Picasso, Rauschenberg and Warhol. Architectonically, the new wings are still in harmony with the first Louisiana. But the architects have naturally changed their ideas during the many years that have passed since 1956. New stylistic elements have been introduced here and there, but the continuity has been retained.

The new Kastrup Søbad seawater swimming area is a leisure amenity out of the ordinary. Like a conch, the sea bath emerges from the water to occupy a central position along the beach looking over the Øresund Sound. Just as we have seen further to the north at Amager Strand Beach, Kastrup Strand Beach has undergone major transformation and reorganization. The facilities include the main building on the water, a new bathing beach and a new service building onshore that includes toilet facilities, as well as green spaces inland.

A pool for the masses
Kastrup Søbad has been executed using the highest-quality materials and stands apart as an architectural work based on both beauty and functionality. The structure consists of a 100-metre-long bridge leading from the newly built beach to a circular wooden platform. The swimming area's circular shape and exterior screen have the distinct advantage of protecting bathers from the wind. The structure is built of azobe, a tropical wood resistant to salt water. For White Arkitekter, it was important to make the sea bath accessible to the masses all day long. Disabled-friendly features have been incorporated, and the lighting has been apportioned equal weight with the architecture. The design has made use of indirect light and light recessed into the wooden decking. As a result, Kastrup Søbad offers both a functional setting for swimmers and a sculptural sight for those taking an evening stroll.

Address: Strandvejen 413, 2930 Klampenborg
Constructed: 1951
Function: Residential and commercial
Architect: Arne Jacobsen
Landscape architect: Arne Jacobsen
Client: Arne Jacobsen
Rebuilt: The house has been restored and returned to Realea A/S from 2005-07
Description:
The house is part of the terrace houses, Søholm, South of Bellavista at Strandvejen in Klampenborg.

The houses are built in staggered rows and with the units divided by a middle section which makes each house stand out as an independent composition.
The buildings were erected between 1945 and 1953 in three stages, each with its own type of houses all designed by Arne Jacobsen.

The house was planned both as a private home and as a studio for Arne Jacobsen himself. He lived and worked in the house from 1951 and until his death in 1971.
Through his many different types of work from buildings to furniture and handicrafts, Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) positioned himself strongly and personally in Danish architecture and design. The 18 terraced houses in the Søholm complex together with the Bellavista, the Bellevue Teatret and the Bellevue Badet in Klampenborg all contributed to giving Arne Jacobsen his international breakthrough.

KUNSTEN Museum of Modern Art Aalborg was designed by Elissa and Alvar Aalto and Jean-Jacques Baruël, and built between 1968 and 1972.

It is a very flexible building, that, due to the mobile partition wall system, can change character, depending on the requirements of each individual exhibition.

Special note should also be made of the unique use of natural light, which has helped to make the building world famous.

The museum is designed to blend in with its natural surroundings, and like a ziggurat it rises to meet the adjoining hillside. It is situated on the edge of a large area of parks and woodland, and the surrounding vegetation stands in contrast to the precise contours of the building.

The materials used were specially selected. The outer walls, and a large part of the floor area are made of carrara marble, and the light material structure helps to give prominence to the art works.

The total area is approx. 6000sq.m. On the ground floor is the central hall together with an adjoining sculpture hall. Surrounding these are series of long sky lit galleries, seven smaller exhibition rooms, a chamber music room, the entrance hall, and the administration offices.

On the lower ground floor are exhibition rooms, a café, cloakroom, lecture rooms, a study group room, a workshop and a library.

The sculpture park
The museum is encircled by a sculpture park, an amphitheatre and a grassy terrace. A brick wall forms a bridge between the stringent lines of the museum buildings and the wooded slopes behind. On display in the park are sculptures by Gunnar Aagaard Andersen, Willy Ørskov, Lene Adler Petersen, Mogens Møller and, in pride of place, Bjørn Nørgaard’s Klassisk tableau. Drømmeslottet (Classical Tableau. The Dream Castle) – a veritable crystal palace, complete with fluttering banners.
