Sleep Tight - Designing Innovative Accommodation for Students
В последние годы университетские города Дании – Копенгаген, Орхус и Ольборг – переживают наплыв студентов. Это очень позитивное явление, которое, однако, оказывает давление на местный рынок жилья.
Участникам конкурса предлагается решить проблему размещения студентов в этих городах. Нужно ли предоставлять более выгодные условия для съема квартир или строить новые общежития и кампусы? Какими они должны быть? Можно ли строить их быстро и дешево? Какие есть альтернативные варианты?
К участию принимаются тексты и иллюстрации, отвечающие заданию конкурса.
пресс-релиз:
In recent years, Denmark’s university cities have experienced a boom in student numbers – each year seems to set a new record. This is an extremely positive development for the cities themselves, but it also puts pressure on the local housing market.
Three of Denmark’s largest university cities; Copenhagen, Aarhus and Aalborg, and White Architects are therefore asking the question: how do we solve the student accommodation challenge facing these cities?
The competition is seeking innovative answers to a complicated challenge. Do we need to become better at utilising the square and cubic metres we already have in our existing buildings? Do we need to learn from other countries where young people live on campuses or at home while they are studying? Should renting to young people be made more attractive? Should we utilise the city’s roofs and recreational areas or move university departments out of town? Should architects and designers design homes that are far more compact and floor area-efficient? How do we solve the challenge without clogging up these cities with (too) cheap buildings or temporary ’disposable’ solutions that are expensive for both society and climate?
We want to start a debate and encourage new ways of thinking and alternative proposals. The results will all form part of an idea bank and the competition’s winning proposals will be exhibited in an innovation caravan that will tour Denmark’s university cities, form a space for debating events and workshops and regularly be topped up with more information and ideas.
