RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBOURHOOD

How might residential neighbourhoods of single-family dwellings built from 1960 to 1975 become the setting for the Good Life while respecting the planetary boundaries?

Our ways of living, building and designing calculation models for building projects will change as we seek to address the challenges of the future.

In this project, master’s degree students from Cultural Heritage, Transformation and Conservation have designed proposals for how more people can reside on fewer square metres with fewer vehicles and more local nature areas.

Students from the Architectural Technology master programme have built technical solutions for transformation and retrofitting insulation, including the use of biogenic materials, and students from DTU – Sustain have performed calculations to pinpoint the most ideal energy-efficiency solutions in terms of the single-family dwellings’ Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), Overall Economy and Life Cycle Costs (LCC).

The project builds on Charlie Steenberg’s PhD project PARCEL-HUS-KVARTER.
