Our cities and landscapes must accommodate a wide range of functions, interests, and concerns – from urban development and infrastructure to nature conservation and climate adaptation. This places high demands on the prioritization, planning, and siting of new developments and structures. Urban and landscape analyses provide a comprehensive overview of physical, regulatory, and contextual conditions and form a critical basis for decision-making in the early project stages.

Lundtofte waterworks
Lyngby, Danmark
Lyngby Taarbæk Forsyning (Lyngby Taarbæk Utility) has obtained a new and modern water treatment plant located on the former water tower site at DTU Campus.
Lyngby Taarbæk Forsyning wants to appear as a modern, open and environmentally conscious company, and the new waterworks supports this vision in the architectural expression.
As a starting point, the exterior appearance of the building is adapted to the existing buildings. The waterworks building is integrated into the southwestern part of the campus area at DTU. The building contains welfare facilities and guest areas for school classes and researchers at DTU.

Integrated waterworks at DTU Campus: Open access and green landscape
The building is integrated into the area so that it naturally fits into the DTU Campus plan. The site is therefore not fenced off so that passers-by can walk right up close to the waterworks and get a glimpse of the water supply via two large windows. The paved areas are minimized so that the area appears as green as possible, with open areas in the form of lawns with free-standing trees.
