The new Oslo Opera House, situated on the Bjrvika peninsula in Norways capital, rises like a snow-white iceberg from the depths of Oslo Fjord. In this location, it serves not only as an aesthetic setting for theatre, ballet and opera but also as an outstanding symbol of modern Norwegian architecture. The inviting lines of the impressive building designed by Snhetta A/S symbolically link land with sea, people with art, and Norway with the rest of the world.

Wie ein schneeweier Eisberg, der sich vom Grund des Oslofjords erhebt, steht Oslos neue Oper auf der Halbinsel Bjrvika in Norwegens Hauptstadt. Hier bildet sie nicht allein den sthetischen Rahmen fr Theater, Ballett und Oper, sondern platziert sich auch als markantes Sinnbild moderner norwegischerArchitektur. Das imponierende Gebude, entworfen von dem Unternehmen Snhetta AS, verbindet mit seinen schrg abfallenden, ansprechenden Linien auf symbolische Weise Wasser und Land, Menschen und Kunst, und Norwegen mit dem Rest der Welt.

Le nouvel Opra dOslo se dresse comme un iceberg blanc neige, du fond du fjord dOslo, sur la pninsule de Bjrvika dans la capitale norvgienne. Ici, il forme non seulement les cadres esthtiques du thtre, du ballet et de lopra mais se place galement comme un sym-bole marquant de larchitecture norvgienne moderne. Le btiment impressionnant, dessin par Snhetta AS, relie de faon symbolique, par ses lignes inclines et gracieuses, la terre et leau, les hommes et lart ainsi que la Norvge avec le reste du monde.

Som et snehvidt isbjerg, der rejser sig fra bunden af Oslo fjorden, ligger den nye Oslo Opera p Bjrvika halven i Norges hovedstad. Her danner den ikke blot den stetiske ramme om teater, ballet og opera. Den placerer sig ogs som et markant sindbillede p mo-derne norsk arkitektur. Den imponerende bygning, der er tegnet af Snhetta AS, forbinder med sine skrnen-de, imdekommende linjer p symbolsk vis land og vand, mennesker og kunst, og Norge med resten af verden.

The Oslo Opera House, which opened in 2008, is Norways largest cultural building project ever.

The 38,500 m2 Opera House houses a theatre auditorium/concert hall seating 1,360.

nland A large illuminated wave has been realised in glass and steel along Finlands Kotka waterfront: the new Vellamo Maritime Centre, a building of international architectural stature. Finnish architect Ilmari Lahdelma has left his mark on this striking edi ce, inspired by Kotkas beautiful seaside location. At the same time, the expressive design refers to the maritime exhibition inside where soft colours, staggered levels and organic materials in the form of light wood are in becom-ing contrast to the stringent, dynamic and insistent exterior.

Like a large black cube monumental and minimal-ist at the same time the new art museum in Kalmar rises up from the towns beautiful park. The black-glazed wooden facades distinguish the building and at the same time allow it to blend in with the natural surroundings. The dominant features of the exhibition rooms situated with views of the treetops, the sea and the towns old castle are rustic concrete walls and oors and large window sections. The new mu-seum is connected to the parks restaurant, designed by renowned Swedish architect Sven-Ivar Lind in 1939.

Wie ein groer, schwarzer Kubus monumental und minimalistisch zugleich erhebt sich das neue Kunstmuseum von Kalmar in dem schnen Park der Stadt. Die schwarz lasierten Holzfassaden geben dem Gebude ein markantes ueres und lassen es gleich-zeitig mit der umgebenden Natur verschmelzen. In den Ausstellungsrumen mit Aussicht auf die Baumkronen, das Meer und das alte Schloss der Stadt dominieren rus-tikale Betonwnde und -bden sowie groe Glasparti-en. Das neue Museum ist mit dem Restaurant des Parks verbunden, das 1939 von dem groen schwedischen Architekten Sven-Ivar Lind entworfen wurde.

Comme un gros cube noir, la fois monumental et minimaliste, le nouveau muse dart de Kalmar slve au-dessus du sol du joli parc de la ville.

Louis Poulsen Lighting and Louise Campbell joined

forces to create the original Snow light tting with its

allusions to wintry light re ected on snow. Snow is a

fusion of two conical shapes in 4-mm acrylic with a silk-

white dots in three sizes resembling snow akes.

Twine Table, designed by Lisa Widn and Anna

by one of humankinds simplest inventions: the button.

The tabletop is an over-sized button, whilst the metal

wire pierces and twists around the surface to create an

elegant base.

The associations with sea and ships are obvious when viewing the sculptural zinc roofs of the new Utzon Center in Aalborg from the water. The centre was envisioned as a dynamic, experimental exhibition and knowledge centre and a platform for imparting Jrn Utzons ideas and modus operandi. The building was created by Kim Utzon Arkitekter together with Jrn Utzon, who grew up in Aalborg. Utzon Center is the last work which Jrn Utzon participated in realising. www.utzoncenter.org

Below / The Danish Royal Theatres new playhouse is

built on a raised platform protruding over the harbour.

The Lundgaard + Tranberg architectural fi rm designed

this groundbreaking edifi ce and based it on a new

sustainable-energy concept that enables the playhouse

to reduce energy consumption by 7585% just on

electricity for cooling. The energy concept was devel-

oped together with Cowi and comprises a wide range of

trail-blazing solutions, such as thermo-active structures

with energy storage, seawater cooling and demand-

driven and mechanical ventilation. Architecturally, the

building comprises three conspicuous primary features:

an oak-plank promenade supported by oblique Venetian

columns encircles the building; a stage tower cladded

with copper is beautifully mirrored in the water surface;

and a three-storey glass faade conceals cloakrooms

visionary landmarks

and administration offi ces. Together, these elements

form a quadratic block a simple, beautiful setting for

cultural experiences.

The playhouse restaurant and caf are positioned with

an unobstructed view of the Port of Copenhagen and

the Copenhagen Opera House. The evocative space

keeps to dark natural colours using rustic materials

such as wood and brick. In the midst of it all, a number

of red Tivoli chairs enliven the setting. This light chair,

originally designed by Verner Panton for a restaurant in

the Tivoli Gardens, was the very fi rst piece of Pantons

furniture ever put into production. Today, the Tivoli chair

is manufactured by DJOB, which has rejuvenated the

wicker look and given it a new frame of stainless steel

so it also stands up to outdoor use.

terns, two glazed inlets open up the block of the large

retail park created by Swedens Wingrdhs Architects.

The complex, located in Hyllie, Malm, will open in

2011. A large arena next to the centre, designed partly

by Wingrdhs, was inaugurated in November 2008.

A hotel of Wingrdhs design will be built next to the

railway station.

Kannustalos Touch is a prefabricated wooden house

suited for urban areas and sparsely populated rural

environments alike, but it serves equally well as a

modern leisure home, either Finnish-style by the water

or in more exotic landscapes. When designing the

house, renowned Finnish architects Mikko Heikkinen

and Markku Komonen wanted to create a modern

version of the living room of a traditional Finnish farm-

house, a central space that sets the tone of all other

rooms. The house comes in three mutually compatible

downstairs and upstairs versions, offering a total of nine

options with fl oor space between 146 and 186 m.

When interior designer Kirsi Valanti was commissioned

to create furnishings for Touch, she decided to go for a

modern Scandinavian atmosphere by using high-quality

natural materials like wood, linen and paper yarn in a

light colour scheme.

Outstanding and sustainable new building projects are taking shape throughout Scandinavia. They include museums, hotels, concert halls and cultural centres with new artistic and lyrical dimensions designed by lead-ing architects who thus assist in giving Nordic cities a sustainable new pro le. Based on these many interesting projects, we have chosen to focus this edition on the potential of Scandinavian architecture and to introduce each Nordic country with an example of a striking new edi ce from the country concerned.

berall in Skandinavien entstehen neue, auergewhnliche und nachhaltige Bauprojekte: Museen, Hotels, Konzert- und Kulturhuser in neuen knstlerischen und poetischen Dimensionen. Sie wurden von hervorragen-den Architekten entworfen, die hierdurch dazu beitragen, den nordischen Stdten ein neues, nachhaltiges Pro l zu verleihen. Vor dem Hintergrund der vielen interessanten Projekte haben wir uns entschlossen, in der vorlie-genden Ausgabe das Potenzial skandinavischer Architektur in den Blickpunkt zu rcken. Daher wird jeder der Abschnitte ber die einzelnen nordischen Lnder mit einem Beispiel fr ein neues, markantes Bauwerk aus dem betreffenden Land eingeleitet.

Partout en Scandinavie, de nouveaux projets de construction exceptionnels et durables prennent forme. Muses, htels, salles de concerts et maisons de la culture aux nouvelles dimensions potiques et artistiques. Ces projets sont dessins par des architectes remarquables qui contribuent ainsi donner aux villes nordiques un nouveau pro l durable. Sur la base des nombreux projets intressants, nous avons choisi, dans cette dition, de nous foca-liser sur le potentiel de larchitecture scandinave, raison pour laquelle lintroduction aux chapitres de chacun des pays nordiques prsente lexemple dune nouvelle uvre architecturale remarquable dans le pays concern.

Overalt i Skandinavien tager nye exceptionelle og bredygtige byggeriprojekter form. Museer, hoteller, koncert- og kulturhuse med nye kunstneriske og poetiske dimensioner. De er tegnet af fremtrdende arkitekter, som her-med bidrager til at give de nordiske byer en ny og bredygtig pro l. P baggrund af de mange interessante projekter har vi i denne udgave valgt at fokusere p den skandinaviske arkitekturs potentiale, og hvert af de nordiske landes afsnit indledes derfor med et eksempel p et nyt markant bygningsvrk fra det pgldende land.

A piece of work, for instance, is regard-

ed as sustainable if it leaves our world in more or less the same

condition as it was before the work was car-ried out. Wood is recreated by nature and is an effi cient way to store solar energy, using photosynthesis. Wood sequesters about 1 tonne of CO

2 and releases 0.7 tonnes of

oxygen (O2) for each 1 m of growth.

Wood is a sustainable material: when it is harvested, thus preserving the forests original qualities and values; when it is processed without using need-less energy or chemicals and when taking occupational health and safety into con-

sideration; and whenever it is used

in other products after its original use or for generating energy.

The Danish forestry and wood industries use sustainable manufacturing methods and products. Diligent efforts are also being made in Denmark to discover new ways of using wood as a material. Interdisciplinary collaboration and close relations between knowledge institutions and the business community, facilitated by the Development Centre for Furniture and Wood, ensure innovative approaches to and new projects involving wood. One example of this is the design competition Wood Is Good.

THERE ARE TWO WAYS OF REDUCING CO2 IN OUR ATMOSPHERE: EITHER BY REDUCING EMISSIONS OR BY SEQUESTERING CO2 I.E. REDUCING THE SOURCES OF THE EMISSIONS OR SEQUESTERING THE CARBON TO PREVENT ITS RELEASE INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. WOOD CAN DO BOTH AND IS PROBABLY THE MOST ECO-FRIENDLY RAW MATERIAL AVAILABLE.

Holz ist ein tragfhiges Material, wenn: es so geerntet wird, dass die ursprng-lichen Qualitten und Werte des Waldes erhalten bleiben es ohne unntigen Verbrauch von Energie und Chemikalien und mit Rcksicht auf die Arbeitsumwelt verarbeitet wird es, sofern mglich, nach Gebrauch fr andere Produkte oder zur Energiegewinnung genutzt wird.Der dnische Forst- und Holzsektor verfgt ber nachhaltige Herstellungsmethoden und Produkte. Auerdem arbeitet man in Dnemark sehr intensiv an neuen Verfahren, bei denen sich Holz als Material verwenden lsst. Interdisziplinre Zusammenarbeit und enge Verbindungen zwischen fachwis-senschaftlichen Einrichtungen und der Wirtschaft, untersttzt vom Entwicklungs-zentrum fr Mbel & Holz, sorgen dafr, dass an neuen Ideen und Projekten mit Holz gearbeitet wird.

Wood can be used to generate energy without contributing to global warming.

Wood products store CO2. The longer the wood/wooden product is in use, the

more effective the storage. Thus, using wooden products promotes the storing of

CO2. Wood products include everything from paper to building materials.

Embraced a wide spectrum, but it was as an innovative

lighting architect and lamp designer that he was to

leave his mark on both contemporary and modern

design. His ability to constantly b alance feeling with

common sense, form with function, combined with his

unique insight into complex lighting theory, resulted

in 1925 in the fi rst 3-shade PH Lamp. The lamp won

instant acclaim at the World Exhibition in Paris and sired

a long line of successors that still sell in large numbers

all over the world.

Julien De Smedt and Bjarke Ingels two of the biggest talents on the Danish and international architectural scene won the Danish Wood Award in 2008 (Trprisen). They are lauded for their trail-blazing work starting with their fi rm Plot Architects where they crafted their fi rst innovative projects in wood. The duo, each of whom now has his own design studio JDS Architects and BIG respectively are renowned for throwing off the shackles of classic architecture to give free reign to playful and, at times provoca-tive, concepts.

the wood award / trprisen

It is the small things, the human things that interest

me, says former Plot architect Julien De Smedt,

now of JDS Architects.

Bjarke Ingels and Julien De Smedt won the Danish

Wood Award and other prizes for the VM Bjerget

in restaden a combination housing project and

multi-storey car park where wood is essential.

The building project was recently named the best

housing project in the world at the World

Architecture Festival in Barcelona.

VM Bjerget is the second project in an restaden

Trilogy begun by Plot, which also includes VM Husene

and BIG House, the latter designed by BIG.

To af de strste talenter p den danske svel som den internationale arkitekturscene, Julien De Smedt og Bjarke Ingels, modtog i 2008 den danske Trpris. De hdres for deres banebrydende arbejde, med udspring i tegnestuen Plot, hvor de har stet bag nyskabende trprojekter. De to, der i dag har hver deres tegnestue JDS Architects og BIG, er kendt for at frigre sig fra arkitektu-rens klassiske regler til fordel for legesyge og til tider provokerende koncepter.

Deux des plus grands talents, aussi bien sur la scne danoise quinternationale de larchitecture, Julien De Smedt et Bjarke Ingels, ont reu en 2008 le prix danois Tr-prisen. Cet honneur rcompense leur travail remarquable au sein du bureau dtudes Plot, o ils sont lorigine de projets nova-teurs en bois. Ils ont chacun aujourdhui leur propre bureau dtudes JDS Architects et BIG et sont rputs pour saffranchir des rgles classiques du design au profi t de concepts enjous et parfois provocateurs. Zwei der grten Talente der dnischen

wie auch der internationalen Architektur-szene, Julien De Smedt und Bjarke Ingels, wurden 2008 mit dem dnischen Preis Trprisen ausgezeichnet. Die Ehrung erfolgte fr ihre bahnbrechende Arbeit, die ihren Anfang im Architekturbro Plot nahm, wo sie fr neuschpferische Holzprojekte zustndig waren. Die beiden haben heute jeder ein eigenes Architektur-bro JDS Architects und BIG und sind dafr bekannt, sich von den klassischen Regeln der Architektur frei zu machen

zugunsten verspielter und bisweilen provozierender Konzepte.

Bjarke Ingels modus operandi is driven by ideas, yet he sees no inherent contradic-tion between reason and imagination in his pragmatic, utopian approach to architecture. The young architect, who dares to think big and who manages to communicate his ideas far beyond Denmarks borders, is currently in the process of transforming Copenhagen. At the same time, he is distin-guishing himself through major international assignments that demonstrate his unique ability to work on a large scale.

CIL OF THE DANISH WOOD INDUSTRY. THE

AWARD IS GIVEN TO ARCHITECTS WHO HAVE

CREATED DISTINGUISHED ARCHITECTURAL

AND DESIGN PROJECTS INVOLVING THE USE

Bjarke Ingels arbejdsform er iddrevet, og han ser med sin pragmatiske og utopiske tilgang til arkitekturen, ikke noget modst-ningsforhold mellem fornuft og fantasi. Den unge arkitekt, der vover at tnke store tanker, og som formr at formidle dem, s de rkker langt ud over Danmarks grnser, er netop i disse r med til at forvandle Kbenhavn. Samtidig markerer han sig med store interna-tionale opgaver, der demonstrerer hans helt srlige evne for at arbejde i store skalaer.

Le mode de travail de Bjarke Ingels est mu par les ides et son approche pragmatique et utopique de larchitecture, pour lui, il ny a pas dantagonisme entre raison et fantaisie. Ce jeune architecte, qui ose penser grand et qui est capable de communiquer ses penses de manire ce quelles dpassent largement les frontires danoises, contribue justement ces dernires annes transformer Copenhague. En mme temps, il se distingue par de grands projets internationaux qui dmontrent son aptitude toute particulire travailler grande chelle. Bjarke Ingels Arbeitsform ist das Ideen-

laufwerk, und mit seinem pragmatischen und utopischen Zugang zur Architektur sieht er zwischen Vernunft und Phantasie keinen Gegensatz. Der junge Architekt, der in gro-en Mastben zu denken wagt und diese auch zu vermitteln vernag, so dass sie weit ber Dnemarks Grenzen hinaus reichen, trgt gerade in diesen Jahren zur Verwand-lung Kopenhagens bei. Gleichzeitig profi liert er sich mit groen internationalen Auftrgen, die von seiner ganz besonderen Fhigkeit zeugen, in groem Mastab zu arbeiten.


Peter Karpf is the fi rst furniture designer to win the Wood Award (Trprisen), which he received for his harrowingly honest furniture in moulded veneer, including the

beautifully moulded chairs Voxia ex Inane, which are folded in several directions out of one piece of veneer. He creates soft, seamless transitions between the surfaces to produce simple pieces of furniture that create spaces within themselves.

the wood award / furniture engaging with the space

Furniture designer Peter Karpf (b. 1940) regards his

moulded wooden chairs as part of the space where

they are placed. The underlying philosophy of the

chairs goes back to humankinds fi rst living space:

the stone cave.

a refi ned style

Peter Karpf, one of the most distin-guished representatives of Danish furniture design, has refi ned his style to the utmost through his convincing utilisation of woods potential. As a cabinetmaker, he knows the essence of wood more than anyone, enabling him to work on woods own terms in creating stringently styled pieces of furniture.

Peter Karpf designed the PAN chair for the DJOB

Montana Group. As one of the most distinguished

representatives of Danish furniture design, he has

refi ned his style to the utmost through his convincing

utilisation of woods potential. The chairs name, PAN,

refers to the chairs fl ute-shaped bars forming

seat and back.

Som den frste mbelarkitekt og desig-ner har Peter Karpf modtaget Trprisen for sine hudlst rlige mbler i formpresset fi nr, bl.a. de smukke formpressede stole, Voxia ex Inane, som foldes i fl ere retninger ud af t stykke fi nr. Derved skaber han blde, glidende overgange mellem fl aderne og frembringer enkle mbler, der danner rum i sig selv.

Peter Karpf, der er en af de ypperste reprsentanter for dansk mbeldesign, har raffi neret sit formsprog til det yderste med sin overbevisende udnyttelse af trets potentiale. Som snedker kender han om nogen trets vsen, og han formr derfor at arbejde p materialets prmisser, nr han skaber sine stringente mbler.

Peter Karpf est le premier designer de mobilier avoir reu le prix Trprisen pour

ses meubles purs en placage press, entre autres les belles chaises Voxia ex Inane, ralises en pliant dans plusieurs directions un seul morceau de placage. Cest ainsi quil cre entre les surfaces des transitions douces et progressives et conoit des meubles simples qui, eux seuls, forment lespace.

Peter Karpf, lun des reprsentants suprmes du mobilier design danois, a raffi n lextrme son langage des formes par son exploitation convaincante de tout ce que permet le bois. En tant qubniste, il connat mieux que quiconque la nature du bois ce qui lui permet de travailler dans les conditions imposes par ce matriau quand il cre ses meubles rigoureux.

Als erster Mbelarchitekt und Designer wurde Peter Karpf mit dem Preis Trprisen fr seine hautnah ehrlichen Mbel aus form-gepresstem Furnier ausgezeichnet, u.a. die schnen formgepressten Sthle, Voxia ex Inane, die aus einem Stck Furnier in meh-rere Richtungen gefalzt werden. Dadurch erreicht er weiche, gleitende bergnge zwischen den Flchen und schafft schlichte Mbel, die in sich selbst Rume bilden.

Peter Karpf, einer der herausragendsten Reprsentanten dnischen Mbeldesigns, hat durch seine berzeugende Nutzung des Potenzials von Holz seine Formsprache bis ins uerste raffi niert. Als Schreiner wei er um das Wesen von Holz und ist daher imstande, nach den Prmissen des Mate-rials zu arbeiten, wenn er seine stringenten Mbel schafft.


Peter Karpf created the Agitari chair for Fredericia Furniture. Paper is an important part of the creative process when Karpf explores the potential of a new shape. Wood and paper are analogous, the designer asserts, as he folds and crumples his way to new forms of expression. Perhaps this is the very secret behind his many innovative yet timeless chairs whose primary purpose is to accentuate the architecture in which they are included.

Voxia ex Inane, designed for the Swedish furniture

manu facturer iform, is a line of furniture comprising

seven monolithic laminated wooden chairs,

all shaped and moulded out of one piece of veneer.

innovative and timeless The dynamic light quality of the slender Agitari chair is reminiscent of a cloth blowing in the wind.

For Fredericia Furniture har Peter Karpf skabt stolen Agitari. Papir er en vsentlig del af skabelsesprocessen, nr Peter Karpf skal afsge mulighederne for en ny form. Tr og papir er analogt, hvder arkitekten, der folder og krller sig frem til nye udtryk. Mske er det hemmeligheden bag hans mange nyskabende, men ogs tidlse stole, som frst og fremmest har til forml at understtte den arkitektur de indgr i.

Pour Fredericia Furniture, Peter Karpf a cr la chaise Agitari. Le papier constitue une partie importante du processus de cration lorsque Peter Karpf explore les possibilits dune nouvelle forme. Selon cet architecte et designer, le bois et le papier sont similaires, ces matriaux se plient et se froissent en de nouvelles expressions. Cest peut-tre l que rside le secret de ses nombreuses chaises tout la fois novatrices et intemporelles dont lobjectif est avant tout de soutenir larchitecture dans laquelle elles sont intgres. Fr Fredericia Furniture hat Peter Karpf

den Stuhl Agitari geschaffen. Papier ist ein wesentlicher Teil des schpferischen Prozesses, wenn Peter Karpf nach Mglich-keiten fr eine neue Form sucht. Holz und Papier sind analog, behauptet der Architekt, der sich zu neuen Ausdrucksformen falzt und wellt. Aber vielleicht ist dies auch das Geheimnis seiner vielen neuschpferischen, aber auch zeitlosen Sthle, die in erster Linie den Zweck verfolgen, die Architektur zu untersttzen, zu der sie gehren.

New technology developed at the Technological Institute of Denmark makes it possible to build a house accord-ing to the same principle as printing a text. Form is no longer limited by the skill of the tradesman or the poten-tial of the material. Now anything that can be conceived and drawn on a computer can also be built in principle. The technology lets the user be inspired by nature, copy historic architecture or create ones very own sculptural universe. Once the design is created on the computer, the user clicks Build, and the house is built automatically by industrial robots.The new building process is based on the stricter insulation requirements of the future. To avoid thermal bridges and leaky structures, the house is built as an igloo made from insulation material 40 cm thick. A computer-op-erated machine cuts out the house according to the digital model. Electricity, heating, water, ventilation, etc., are integrated. After this, a robot sprays a layer of bre-reinforced concrete over the interior and exterior surfaces.

The house as we know it will soon be a thing of the past. New tech-nology connecting the computer to a number of robots will give free reign to form and imag-ination. The rst house will soon be a reality.

Building a square house requires lots of materials, compared to those

used in double-arched elements. At the same time, the arched shape

has a smaller surface, and thus loses less heat.

The project was implemented as a joint project involving the Technologi-

cal Institute, VTT, NTNU, AAA and the innovative industries Sundolitt, VE-

LUX, Velfac and Maxit, with support from the Nordic Innovation Centre.

The house was designed by architects Flemming Skude and Ivar Moltke.

Dank einer neuen Technologie, entwickelt an Dne-marks Technologischem Institut, ist es jetzt mglich, ein Haus nach dem gleichen Prinzip zu bauen wie einen Text auszudrucken. Die Form ist nicht lnger auf die Fhigkei-ten des Handwerkers und das Potenzial der Materialien beschrnkt. Alles, was man sich denken kann und was sich an einem Computer entwerfen lsst, kann im Prin-zip jetzt auch gebaut werden. So hat man die Wahl, sich von der Natur inspirieren zu lassen, historische Architek-tur zu kopieren oder sich sein ganz eigenes skulpturales Universum zu schaffen. Sobald das Design auf dem Computer fertig ist, gengt ein Klick auf bauen, und das Haus wird ganz automatisch realisiert.

Ausgangspunkt des neuen Bauprozesses sind die knftigen verschrften Anforderungen an die Isolierung von Hu-sern. Um Kltebrcken und Undichtigkeiten zu vermeiden, wird das Haus wie ein Iglu mit einem 40 cm dicken Isoliermaterial gebaut. Eine computergesteuerte Maschine frst das Haus nach dem digitalen Modell aus. Strom, Heizung, Wasser, Belftung usw. werden integriert. Hiernach spritzt ein Roboter eine Schicht Faserbeton ber die Innen- und Auen che.

Une nouvelle technologie dveloppe lInstitut technologique du Danemark permet dsormais de construire une maison selon le mme principe que limpression dun texte. La forme nest plus limite par les capacits des diffrents corps de mtier et le potentiel des matriaux. Maintenant, tout ce quon peut imaginer et concevoir sur ordinateur peut, en principe, galement tre construit. Ainsi peut-on choisir de se laisser inspirer par la nature, copier larchitecture historique ou crer son propre univers sculptural. Une fois la conception cre sur lordina-teur, il suf t de cliquer sur construire pour que la maison soit automatiquement construite par des robots industriels..Le nouveau processus de construction repose sur les exigences futures relatives lamlioration de lisolation des maisons. A n dviter des ponts thermiques et des dfauts dtanchit, la maison est ralise comme un igloo dans un matriau disolation dune paisseur de 40 cm. Une fraiseuse assiste par ordinateur dcoupe la maison selon le modle digital. Llectricit, le chauffage, leau, la ventilation, etc., sont intgrs. Ensuite, un robot pulvrise une couche de bton arm de bres sur les faces intrieure et extrieure. Ny teknologi udviklet p Teknologisk Institut i Danmark gr det nu muligt at bygge et hus efter samme princip, som man printer en tekst. Formen er ikke lngere begrnset af hndvrkerens formen og materialernes poten-tiale. Nu kan alt, hvad der kan tnkes og tegnes p en computer i princippet ogs bygges. Man kan sledes vlge at lade sig inspirere af naturen, kopiere historisk arkitektur eller skabe sit helt eget skulpturelle univers. Nr desig-net er skabt p computeren, klikker man p byg og huset realiseres helt automatisk.Den nye byggeproces tager afst i fremtidens skrpede krav til isolering af huse. For at undg kuldebroer og uttheder bygges huset som en iglo i et 40 cm tykt isoleringsmateriale. En computerstyret maskine frser huset ud efter den digitale model. El, varme, vand og ventilation m.v integreres. Herefter sprjter en robot et lag berarmeret beton ud over den indvendige og udvendige ade.

combating global warming

All the while policymakers from all over the world are gathering in Copenhagen from 7 to 18 December to discuss climate change and set new ambitious targets for reducing carbon emissions, Denmark will be the setting for a presentation of new green technology. To optimise Denmarks environmental effort, the Danish State and a number of business organisations have joined forces in a new Climate Consortium Denmark. The aim is to ensure a coordi-nated dissemination of information internationally and nationally about the available knowledge, concepts and technologies offered by Denmarks companies and institutions targeting the reduction of greenhouse gases.To reach a wide audience, Climate Consortium Denmark is collaborating with VisitDenmark to develop Energy Tours offering foreign visitors a number of visits to companies before and during the conference. The idea is to show visitors ef cient technological energy solutions. Another venue for disseminating the stimulating message is a new Internet portal, called EnergyMap.dk which presents an overall view of Danish solutions and research efforts within climate change and energy. At a grassroots level, Climate Consortium Denmark will host National Championships in climate change solu-tions. Everyone may participate in the event by submitting good ideas that tackle the climatic challenges.

Climate change and global warming will be the order of the day when Copenhagen hosts COP15, the UN conference on global warming to be held in December 2009. Ministers and public of cials from 192 countries will convene here to de ne an ambitious, world-wide climate agreement.

Whrend politische Entscheidungstrger aus der ganzen Welt sich vom 7. bis 18. Dezember in Kopenhagen versammeln, um Fragen der Klimavernderung zu diskutieren und neue, hochgesteckte Ziele fr die Begrenzung des CO2-Ausstoes zu setzen, wird Dnemark den Rahmen fr die Prsentation neuer grner Technologie bilden. Um den Blickpunkt des Interesses auf Dnemarks Bemhungen um die Umwelt zu verstrken, haben sich der dnische Staat und eine Reihe dnischer Wirtschaftsverbnde zu einem neuen Klimakonsortium (Climate Con-sortium Denmark) zusammengetan. Ziel ist eine koordinierte Verbreitung von Informationen auf internationaler und nationaler Ebene ber Know-how-Angebote dnischer Unternehmen und Institutionen und ber deren Konzepte und Technologien, die sich auf die Reduzierung der Treibhausgase richten. Um mglichst breite Wir-kung zu erzielen, arbeitet das Klimakonsortium mit dem dnischen Fremdenverkehrsverband VisitDenmark bei der Entwicklung von so genannten EnergyTours zusammen, auf denen auslndischen Gsten vor und whrend der Klimakonferenz Besichtigungen dnischer Unternehmen angeboten werden. Hier werden den Besuchern funktionierende energietechnische Lsungen prsentiert. Ein weiteres Werkzeug fr die Vermittlung der guten Botschaft ist das neue Internetportal EnergyMap.dk, das einen Gesamtberblick ber dnische Lsungen und Forschungsarbeiten auf dem Klima- und Energiesektor bietet. Auf Brgerebene ldt das Klimakonsortium ein zur Klima DM der Dnischen Meisterschaft in der Lsung von Klimafragen. Hier knnen alle teilnehmen, die gute Ideen haben, wie man sich den klimatischen Herausforderungen stellt.

Pendant que les dcideurs politiques du monde entier se runiront Copenhague du 7 au 18 dcembre a n de dis-cuter des changements climatiques et xer de nouveaux objectifs ambitieux pour la limitation de lmission de CO2, le Danemark encadrera la prsentation dune nouvelle technologie verte. A n doptimiser la focalisation sur leffort environnemental danois, lEtat danois et de nombreuses organisations de la vie conomique danoise se sont regrou-ps dans un nouveau consortium climatique (Climate Consortium Denmark). Lobjectif est dassurer une diffusion coordonne dinformations, sur les plans international et national, relatives aux offres des entreprises et institutions danoises en matire de connaissances, concepts et technologies qui ciblent une rduction des gaz effet de serre.A n datteindre un large public, le consortium climatique a, en partenariat avec VisitDenmark, organis des excursions EnergyTours, qui proposent de nombreuses visites dentreprises aux invits trangers avant et pendant la confrence. Lide est de leur prsenter des solutions technologies et nergtiques qui fonctionnent bien. Un autre outil de diffusion de cette bonne nouvelle est un portail Internet, appel EnergyMap.dk, qui propose une vue densemble des solutions et des travaux de recherche danois dans le domaine du climat et de lnergie. Sur le terrain, le consortium climatique nous invite au Klima DM, championnat du Danemark en matire de solu-tions climatiques. Ici, tout le monde peut participer avec de bonnes ides a n de relever le d climatique. Alt imens politiske beslutningstagere fra hele verden samles i Kbenhavn fra den 7. til den 18. december for at diskutere klimaforandringer og stte nye ambitise ml for begrnsning CO2-udledningen, kommer Danmark til at danne ramme om prsentation af ny grn teknologi. For at optimere fokus p den danske miljindsats er staten og en rkke af dansk erhvervslivs organisationer get sammen i et nyt Klimakonsortium (Climate Consortium Den-mark). Mlet er at sikre en koordineret spredning af information internationalt og nationalt om danske virksomhe-ders og institutioners udbud af viden, koncepter og teknologier, der retter sig mod reducering af drivhusgasser.For at n bredt ud har Klimakonsortiet indget et samarbejde med VisitDenmark om udvikling af EnergyTours, der byder p en rkke virksomhedsbesg for udenlandske gster fr og under konferencen. Ideen er at prsentere dem for velfungerende energiteknologiske lsninger. Et andet vrktj til formidling af det gode budskab er en ny internetportal, kaldet EnergyMap.dk, som giver et samlet overblik over danske lsninger og forskningsarbejde inden for klima og energi. P grsrodsplan inviterer Klimakonsortiet til Klima DM danmarksmesterskabet i klimalsninger. Her kan alle deltage med gode ideer, der tager klimaudfordringen op.
