Day 6: Saturday

Trip with Tue Tortzen. Since it was a Saturday, Professor Lone Kristensen recommended that we do something more active, so we went on a outdoors lecture in a nearby forest area. We learned overall that two important considerations to have with landscape development with regards to Climate Change were surface color and the types (and amount) of gases emitted as a result of the. Professor Simon Swaffield then recommended that we consider adaptation strategies for drastic cases of Climate Change and the mitigation considerations that can be made before/during/after the change. This material was pretty basic, but informative in terms of considering it in relation to landscape development.



We then spent a lot of time on individual work, since we had to write individual papers about our work in the group project. And then we spent some time on groupwork. During groupwork today, we clarified some of the settlement strategies that we wanted to work with- Linear Settlements, Forest Villages, Wedge Structures, and Circular Structures- as well as how each worked and where they would work. We also did the same for some of our housing types- the Farm Converted Apartment Complexes, Semi-Detached Housing, and Mass Produced Housing. During groupwork, we were able to further define our goal of establishing 6000 households for the municipality of Hillerod over the coming years as well as creating an approach to the solution that includes: defining the settlement (based on experience, defining rural and urban qualities, describing existing landscape qualities of the case area, evaluating settlement based on the checklist of the combination of rural and urban qualities, evaluating the settlement based on the checklist of landscape qualities, and finally, coming up with some conclusions about the settlements.
