placemaking
We create spatial design in numerous scales from initial concept sketches and development of urban furniture to designing multifunctional urban spaces. No matter what, we always deliver user-centered design. Design is a part of our DNA and we also apply our design skills as a dialogue and communication tool. It’s a tool that adds great value to the process because it helps shape ideas, making visions and wishes more tangible. Similar to our other services, our process for design is deeply embedded in establishing a common language between different collaborators, actors and stakeholders. We’ve worked with municipalities, councils, area renewals as well as developers and design studios.
Project Samples
Over a period of 1,5 year an empty building in the city of Asnæs was transformed into a City Lab. Here, the local community and especially the young people were involved in the development of the city centre. Through the extensive involvement process arki_lab collected local knowledge, ideas, dreams, and needs which were translated into urban space designs in the city centre.
From the spring until early summer 2017, arki_lab worked in close collaboration with teachers and students at Gadehaveskolen to design and build an outdoor workshop. The objective was to transform a vacant outdoor space into an integrated part of the existing indoor workshops and invite locals to use the workshop after school hours. The space was inaugurated with a big opening of the new outdoor space, where the whole school and local area was invited.
