Trees In The City
Copenhagen, Denmark
2014
Trees in the city space is a known and fantastic symbol. They are the greenery that colours the urban life and scenery. But they often draw the shortest straw in the competition of the
space.
The project draws attention to the magnificent qualities of trees. It analyses the trees architectural aspects in 4 different urban places in Copenhagen. As a result of the study thematics were created regarding planting, density and placing trees in the city space. The themes were tested in a design at Our Lady’s Square to show their validity.
To create successful tree design in the urban space, one must be attentive to the connection between the trees and their surroundings, space and its elements. It should be a symbiosis between all the objects of the space and the specific architecture of the species.
