Global problem, global answer
Harbour transformation
Harbour transformation
Global problem…
Ashes? Gold?
Local particularities?
Global answer:
From ashes to gold!
What constitutes a site in design? (Burns/Kahn 2005)
Site is more than the area of topical intervention
What constitutes a site in design? (Burns/Kahn 2005)
Site is more than the area of topical intervention
Area of control e.g. proper harbour transformation area

Site is a dynamic relational construct
Site is transscalar
What is site specificity? (Kwon 2002)
Site specificity was first coined in the arts in the 1960s and 70s
Today site-specificity needs redefinition
Thinking together
- the nostalgic desire of a retrieval of rooted, place-bound identities
- the anti-nostalgic embrace of a nomadic fluidity of subjectivity, identity
and spatiality
Relying on a pragmatic, constructivist idea of site being construed and
constructed by the artist from relational sensibility

Immaterial atmospheres i.e. temporal phenomena, experiences
memories i.e. collective and personal
Flux processes i.e. dynamics of natural systems
practices i.e. human usages
Design as transformation (Braae 2012)
Starting projects from a close observation of all the existing elements
found on site in order to transform rather than to design anew.
Transformation is a process in the course of which something is
changed from one state into another, relating the former something with
the new something else while knowing that neither before nor after is
static.
Urban planning practice:
defining a programme which is applied to a site (Koolhaas)
Landscape architectural approach:
developing a programme from site (Marot, Meyer)

Economy of means
Keep as much as
possible, eliminate as few
as possible of what is
found on site regardless
of when and why and for
whom it has been
installed...

which means 2,25m above city ground level –
new quays as a separation of city and river?
