Copenhagen House of fairytales
Copenhagen offers a rich palimpsest of contextual memories. Some are historical; from genesis as Sweyn Forkbeard’s herring fishing and raiding base; to its 1807 devastation by the British in the ‘first terror attack against a major European city in modern times’; or its modern reinvention as a cycling city by a young Jan Gehl. Others are demographic or geographic, hinging on a low lying island topography that invites trade and immigration. Governance and environment also come into play; Copenhagen hosts the Danish Parliament, Monarchy, top Law Courts and National Police Headquarters, yet also is recognised as one of the most environmentally friendly cities in the world, ranked as the top green city for the second time in the 2014 Global Green Economy Index (GGEI). SITE LOCATION
Copenhagen Paper Island
It is a wild place, unruly, dense and vibrant, a universe unto itself, a world of fairytales. The idea emerges from an understanding of context and contrast, it is developed according to the core values and themes of H. C. Andersens writings. Taking its cues from the history of the site, the project is a divergent continuation of the story of that place, both real and surreal at once. Numerous conditions, and the transition between, them shape the iconic impact of the building. A shift from the rhythm of the cityscape to the organic expression of wilderness. Within the site, the measured and precise forms of the buildings continue the play on contrasts. Each space differentiates itself from the preceding and provides the framing that will maximize the impact of the next. In this way the proposal forms a continuous narrative, from the point where the familiar cityscape is left behind, to the final discovery of the museum and its branching sequence of spaces. The House of Fairytales is the centre point of a self-contained universe that intersects and interacts with our own in a way that is enriching to all users irrespective of culture. A combination of architectural specificity and programmatic indeterminacy lays the foundation for a multi-layered and changing experience. Expectations; the idea of what comes next, plays an important role in the proposal. Contextual clues are used as a means to reward exploration with unexpected twists or encounters. In overcoming these challenges visitors take possession of their discoveries, intangibly making a part of museum their own. Rather than choosing a conventional approach, a building of more overt or extravagant character, this proposal focuses on providing the setting for a journey, Project brief House of fairytales
