Daylight interiors of Gadehavegaard, social housing in Høje Taastrup under transformation

The project is an investigation into the interior daylight conditions of the housing blocks of Gadehavegård, as they appear as a result of the 1970’ies architectural planning, how they are experienced and adapted by the inhabitants and how they will change as a result of transforming the housing blocks in order to obtain sustainability for the future.

This project is a constituent activity within the project “Boliglaboratorium”, a cooperation between The Royal Danish Academy, The Municipality of Høje-Taastrup and the housing company Domea a/s. The research is done in cooperation with the bachelor teaching team and students of “Organization” and manager of the main project, Camilla Hedegaard Møller. 

The project is regarded as a pre-project in order to establish further funding.

About Katja Bülow
Katja Bülow is an architect specialised in lighting and is head of the Light Lab at The Royal Danish Academy. She investigates daylight and artificial light as multi-compositional and everchanging light sources, closely connected to the appearance and the experience of the interior. Katja Bülow is interested in the gradients of light, color and shadow as part of our everyday aesthetics, how these elements connect the exterior to the interior, create atmospheres, tell spatial position and time and suggest spatial occupancy.
