The project is located in Aarhus Ø, that is a recent residential construction zone with a lot of potential.
At this stage being a recent zone the vision of the user is quite bare-bones, and yet so diverse you can see different architectural blocks gaining life in this little space near the harbor.
Cullen’s idea for serial vision is that people can enjoy and live happily in the location they dwell, trying not to create the urban zone dull and lifeless
The site area
Area of 4372
Our group decided to take a route to the implementation zone and take pictures along the way, some zones were blocked by constructions. This pathway was chosen for being a principal road and to see all the different types of architecture to try to link our building to the location provided.
There are some activities happening on this pier, as some Architectural building differences, there are more planned in the near future, this can attract tourists and new residents to this area and our location, increasing the environment and make Aarhus Ø more attractive in the passing years.
Aarhus Ø being a concrete pier for the purpose to originate a new urban area every location is man-made.
In this area most of the buildings are quite recent giving this area a modern vibe near the port of Aarhus.
The place is built by different types of architecture giving a diversity in building shape and materials, providing several options and imagination for designing our high rise.
On this “Island” at this moment there are two residential focus points being the Isbjerget, the Havneholmen and AARhus, Bjarke Ingels group big high-rise that is an office site/resident.
Havneholmen has 5 high-rises with different heights:
B1: (13 floors 48m),
B2: (10 floors and 38,5m),
B3: (10 floors and 36m),
B4: (12 floors and 42m)
B5: (10 floors and 38,5m)
Isbjerget is a residential building it contains 210 apartments between 50 and 200 m^2 it was created by two Danish architectural firms the CEBRA and JDS.
AAR high-rise has a mix of the most dominant typologies, like courtyard buildings, row houses and towers all in one with 71.50 m of height and 20 floors, its most used for residential apartments, but at street level the building offers maritime leisure units and commercial use
Watersports complex
Aarhus Marina
- Watersports complex is open all summer where there is some competitions
- Happening bringing athletes to the place.
- Marina where people can anchor their boats and is the location of many sailing clubs.
- Harbor bath where people can swim in a natural swimming pool and enjoy the sauna that as a capacity of 650 people.
- The theater group 38 that it will open his doors for new entertainment
- Along the pier you have good locations for diving and swim in the sea along the coast
Harbor bath
Theater
Aarhus Ø is mainly a residential area with few restaurants and groceries shops, our project beyond being also a residential high-rise it is a commercial center giving people and residents in that zone a location to buy food or other devices needed for their homes bringing movement and economy to that location without a need of the residents to move to farther away places to have those trivialities. Try to create new green spaces for people entertainment and better urban environment.
Utilities and services
The engine room is one technical installation that supplies the residents of Aarhus Ø with an urban heat source, but also as a waste solution, electricity and fiber networks. This engine room has a heat pump of sea water, it uses the sea water to heat all the Aarhus Ø urban center.

Low load capacity

There may be odor nuisance from the industry area (especially feed mills) and seaweed

The local development plan has many limitations and requirements for both the architectural expression of the building and the function of the building.

For the project three different focus points were object for the case studies.
This was made to see how each of them would affect the design.

The design of the building affects the wind and the wind affects the ground level environment.
There are two factors to consider:
Mechanical and the chill factor
The goal is to minimize the factors
Afterward the shapes are analyzed in robot
Solution: The most narrow facade faces the wind direction
Solutions: Round the corners, create pyramid effect or add small buildings near by
Solution: Put buildings close together and create layers leading up
Solution: Change shape of the building
Different shapes analyzed in regard to wind
The same amount of wind is put on the figures and from this a virtual wind tunnel test is made
The wind pressure is distributed on the surfaces, and then the largest is written down for each shape
Largest wind pressure: 0.54 kPa
Largest wind pressure: 0.61 kPa
Largest wind pressure: 0.26 kPa
Largest wind pressure: 0.32 kPa
To accommodate the different case studies as well as following the local plan, the shape of the building is chosen to be as shown
Heights:
88m, 70m, 40m
Widths:
20x40 m or 15x25
Wind stability
When designing a high-rise, it is important to consider the stability of the building.
Possible solutions to obtain stability in regard to wind in our high-rise
- concrete core
- cross-bracing
- frame-system
- shear walls
We are currently working on:
To achieve the most optimal daylight and more green areas.
We also want to create a good flow in the building and therefore we need to think about entrances and where the public areas should be located
Future work:
The most optimal system in terms of buildability, economy, time and sustainability
