Sustainability design criteria

1. Waste equals food2. Use renuable energy3. Celebrate diversity4. Anticipate evolution5. Maximal use of public transport6. Use existing green structures and topography7. Human dimensions and movement

Using design criteria to find a good site for a new sustainable housing project.

Analyse of Trondheim

3. Celebrate diversity : Architectural biotopes of Trondheim

We see that thereare a lot of different places in the city.

4. Anticipate evolution : Evolution of the city

Interesting place for a new housing project because it is a centre where social, economical and environmental layers come together, giving it a lot of potential for a sustainable development.

6. Use existing green structures and topography : green structure of Trondheim

The city has a banana shape. This shape is creating a border for the green structure

7. Human dimensions and movement : space syntax of Trondheim

The space syntax is showing a high concentration of movement in the city centre.Most people live outside the centre and they have to pass the centre for shopping,working and recreation. This causes a lot of traffic problems in the city centre.

Going

Industrial site is dividingthe city and the green.

A lot of functions and activities.

Old factory site is not used(wasteland).

Monocultural function(economical), but a lot of potential to become a new rich urban environment.

Close to the public transportnet (easy connection to thecity centre).

Close to green and water.

Historical value.

Choosing Lilleby site as potential site for a new sustainable housing project.

Analyse of the site

1. Waste equals food : wastelands of the site

2. Use renuable energy

Not using solar energy because the hours of sun and intensity of natural light is very low. It is very expansive and is not recycable.

Using wind energy seems more approperate in thisnordic climate. It is cheaper, recycable and generateselectricity 24 hour a day.

3. Celebrate diversity : diversity of functions/activities of the site

3. Celebrate diversity : biodiversity of the site

Soil : clay

The biodiversity shows that it has transformed from wild valley plants to plants that are common in urban areas.

4. Anticipate evolution

This map shows the building withhistorical value. These have morechange of staying in the future.Around our site there are no veryimportant historical buildings. The old Lilleby factory is marked as low historical importance.

This map shows the areas thatcan be developed in the presentand the future, and the areas thatare protected. We can see that our area can be developed immediatelyand in the near future. It is reserved for new companies, shops and offices.

5. Maximal use of public transport : existing transport net around the site

6. Use existing green structures and topography

The grid is following the topography. The grid of the hills is more organic and the grid of the valley (industrial area) is a artificial orthogonal grid. This artificial grid is disconnecting the grids of the hills.

7. Human dimensions and movement : space syntax (movement of the people)

This space syntax map shows the intensity movement of the people. It is clear that the main road (red) is used for working activities and the green for living activities. The same movement we could find in the map of Trondheim.

Introducing a new valley

General concept of introducing the new valley

Solving the wastelands by changing them into parking buildings

Phase plan for the new valley

Emplementing the new valley in different phases, for a realistic approach. These phases are based on the plans

of the city which indicate the possibility for new developments in the present, near future and far future.

1. Adding a new green structure, connecting the fjord and the harbor.2. Adding new functional water elements.3. Adding and changing human grid, connecting the city centre and the peninsula.4. Redesigning the economical functions.

Design for a new recreational park with education centre

Transforming the old factory site into a new recreational park

2. Urban part (history of the factory) : old factory transformed into new education centre about sustainability.

1. Landscape part (history of the valley) : using the existing piles of construction waste on the site to create a new landscape.

User scenario : landscape part of the park

Urban part of the park : education centre about sustainability groundfloor

The education centre has to learn people how they can live in a more sustainable way and what the benefits of this can be. The centre exists out of administration, a cafe, exibition space, a library and some classrooms.

Design for a new economic centre

Transforming the industrial areas into economic centre

A new economic centre with a wide range of functions such as shops,food stores, cafe’s, bars, offices, ...

The relief of the buildings follow the relief of the valley.

The buildings are connected with a central indoor path for the winter. During the summer the building can be opened and reached from all sides.

The pedestrian paths are not stopped by the economic centre. They shape the building blocks.

Ground floor of the economic centre

Pedestrian outside passages on the groundfloor ensure easy connection to north and south functions.

First floor of the economic centre

Most big food stores are situated at the right side. Shops in the middle and offices, restaurants and housing at the left side. This is to have a transition from big economic function, to small economic fucntions and housing.

Volumes and glass roof of the economic centre

A glass roof connects all the buildings, ensures maximal use of natural light and protects the people from rain and snow.

User scenario : interior economic centre

Design for new housing

Number of different types of housing : types with less than two bed rooms are situatedin the economic centre, types with more than two bedrooms on the edge of the valley

New housing on the edge of the valley : type with more than two bed rooms

Compact housing blocks with vegetation roofs, wood and natural stone.

New housing on the edge of the valley

Each floor has two one floor houses. The number of floors depend on the location, so that everyone has a view of the valley.
