HELLOMy name is Lasse Nørregård Rasmussen and I’m cur-rent ly at tending Aarhus School of Archi tecture as Bachelor of Arts in Archi tecture June 2015 and on the look for an internship in the autumn of 2015.

I assess archi tecture as a subject from responsible habi tat ion within a large range of scales . Under-s tanding the art of bui lding in an urban context , as not merely renewing fract ional ly, but as a restorat ion of large-scale urbani ty approaches archi tecture in a tangible and careful manner.

Inversed, I also pract ice archi tecture experimental-ly and seek out potent ials for making an imprint on dai ly environments . To me, developing archi tecture is founded on teamwork, involving di f ferent percept ions throughout the process;

s t i l l , I am able to work independent ly, accurate and s tructured. I lean on the abi l i ty to communicate graph-ical , terminological and social , and approaches new projects wi th care and joy.

AN ACT OF TRANSFORMATION

4th semester_ AARCH

IN BETWEEN TRANSITION

A T M O S P H E R EGiven is, the sum of the individual parts making up the aesthetic qualities combined is more than the individual parts separately adding up. Within this mindset of ap-proaching architectural qualities one must lay a certain retrospective view on what’s in-between our hands of potential strings to pull to give this extend of the qualities as a single perception.

(analogue rendering_ model 1:20)

he project sets its main intervention, in relation to the act of transformation as the defined framework, in the field of operation in Prora, Germany – a vast non-finished housing/vacation complex (1936-39) of the nazi-ger-many era.

The project’s main achievement is the fulfill-ment of a request to house 12 art students of The Berlin University of Arts in order to expand its activities to the location of Prora, by being given working space and housing facili-ties. ACTING as in housing 12 actor-students has been chosen and will lay the foundation for transforming a carefully chosen part of the complex for habitation. Along with the art form, an act of transformation was also to be cho-sen_ INTERTWINING.

The specific program is stated in an initial title; close encounter of (y)our physical expression through verticality; with the intention of implementing a conferred beauty of combining the frame/environ-ment for physical expression in collaboration to a fascination for interfere this relation with verti-cality in the act of movement for the actors; along with investigated needs for 12 actors to be given the right facilities according to the brief stated.

P R O G R A M couple of initial focus areas of interest; Verticality_ stairs as human circulation, leading to physical expression (of actors) – the movement of the body, and physical inter-action; lay out the foundation in choosing a specific courtyard. From investigating and map-ping out not immediate differences within each courtyard regarding our focus areas of interests, along with an XL-scale investigation of the contextual relation; accessibility and enclosed/open vegetation perception, a carefully chosen courtyard sets the big-scale perspective for the specific intervening program.

EXPLORATION OF WEATHER PHENOMENA

3th semester_ AARCH

aterializing a study of membrane

The work with two chosen weather phenomena snow and wind and the effects in-between has resulted in the development of a structure based on the chosen construction principle - grid-structure.

The materialization of a membrane understood as a metaphor covering the body from the environment, with previous investigations and experiments, has lead to the development of a structural shape of two layers with space in-between. From the spherical dome, as the main form, different heights occurs with an inward bending section of the inner membrane layer.

esearch in architectural space throughout four states of development of an archi-tectural structure, in relation to neither includ-ing a program nor a site. Anchoring as the main theme within this project takes its major stand with an optic of ‘the art of building with anchoring’.

The developed research in architecture has a special care and attention on the spatial an-choring that set the art of building its char-acteristics.

Within the projects overall theme, anchoring, is the representations of the devided sub-assign-ments to be seen in the relation to the project’s main areas of focus, including a series of transfor-mations through the optics of developing process as one continues project.

WELL, IN THAT CASE, THE SECTION WILL UNRAVEL IT

he study of form and space focuses on materializations and representations in the craft of plans, sections and spatial correla-tions. Proportions uncover spatial interconnected relations, along with how spaces meet and thereby how characteristics of the transitions are developed.

The spatial understanding transforms the de-veloped series of stages into a focused new spatial intention, embedded in the architectural aggregate – meaning a series of complex spa-tial compositions that only relates to itself as one whole structure.

When the developed aggregate’s different stag-es are a work and study, intentionally exempt from a specific programme of function, there is no diverse representation of a contextual situ-ation, all in attempting to keep a focus on the abstract level of precise spatial compositions.

INFORMATION CENTER_ AN URBAN MAKEOVER

5th semester_ AARCH& Brabrand Housing Assossiation

-n the western suburb of Aarhus, Den- mark, a socially deprived neighbor-hood, Gellerup, is in the line of fire from an ex-tensive urban makeover. From repetitive hous-ing blocks lining up side by side the makeover will positively dissolve this apprehensive area to hold a greater diversity in types of dwelling.

The rebuilding process demands of the district of Gellerup an information center to be estab-lished as a nerve for the residents and future investors, requiring a specific stated programme in terms of facilities, occupied space up to greater visions for its aesthetic significance.

Having the information center working through-out the emergence of the planned urban reno-vation, the near contextual situation will be one messy construction site in a constant chance. How to refer a building’s interior configuration to surroundings in motion (?) – Hereby the main form is resulted.

TEMPORARY STRUCTURESAs a part of the information center’s required embedded features it is to be easy and efficiently moved to a new location within the area of Gellerup as the site of planned locations will gradually be occu-pied. Therefore the construction must be carried out as a temporary structure partly embedding a disassembly construction principle.

es, it’s red. The information is covered in 6 mm translucent red acrylic material to accom-modate The Building Regulations upon fire safety, stat-ing the feature of this specific material as burning most safe as well as resisting a potential vandalism. By making the cover in a translucent opacity, the structure will stand as the glowing red spot on a map in night-time, making its influence on the residents as a base in the middle of a large transformation.

2th semester_ AARCH

etting off from an earlier brick workshop this project gave the insight and understan-ding of working full-scale with material and construction. A specific part of the brick forma-tion was the foundation to create an extention to the aesthetic qualities of the configuration already ingesting the site.

Wood and steel as basic materials lay the bedrock for the development of a form- and construction principle in carrying out this sym-biotic relation, giving the sense and touch of having your hands in the dirt.

RE-INHABITATION

2th semester_ AARCH

n old factory is in the middle of decay and vandalism - holding potentials of a re-inhabitation. From a chosen time-scale criterion, the length of occupation in the structure, the passage was selected as a non staying inhab-itation. The intervention focuses on the spatial qualities embedded in a narrow pass between two parts of an old factory - a site spanning from old structure to untouched nature.

In the act of applying an aesthetic intention of curving the passage water flow was the basic form generator for making bending planes occur and accesible for human scale movement. This creates a playful passage for people to be psychological bended- or physically confronted, thereby extending possibilities: ‘what if I can break out of the indented flow’.

The narrow pass slightly slopes and is visible when ap-proaching it from an angle, giving the sense of being drawn towards the passage. You feel how you are being thrown from one side to the other throughout the small path feeling the need for a more steering composition of spatial elements.

Please, you are now most welcome to re-inhabit the space
