This project imagines a new function for a fortification island on the outskirts of Copenhagen. The existing qualities that grace the site become more accessible and are also translated into new spaces for contemplation and rituals. A new path through the landscape leads to an underground chapel attached onto an existing fort on Vestvolden known as Dobbeltkaponiere XXI.
A new tunnel-bridge lands on the island and spirals down to a an underground chapel. The chapel attaches onto the old fort.

The laminated drawing consists of three layers that are tied to three different scales. The layers overlap and exchange information, allowing the drawing to become a place of its own. The drawing becomes a tool to understand the site, and also to shape it.

A white stripe of light shoots out of the dark boxes and catches a section of the landscape. This series of images from the point cloud illustrates the contrast and relation between the dark underground rooms and the bright surrounding landscape.
