An increasingly ageing society demands new forms of living that enable dignified, independent living in old age and promote interaction between the generations. We are looking for a new home for physically weakened residents that allows personal development, but at the same time encourages encounters, participation and communication between young and old without forcing them.
 
The starting point for this spatial consideration is the Dronningegarden block development in the heart of Copenhagen by Kay Fisker. Originally intended as a green garden, the inner courtyard of the block has been used as a parking lot since its completion. Due to the desired mobility turnaround, this parking lot will be available in the future and appears to be an ideal starting point for inner-city redensification. In the debate with Fisker's search for a regionally appropriate materiality as well as mass and scale, the elementary questions of architecture - space, structure, material - are to be answered and in particular the threshold areas and relationships between the different uses are to be developed.
