Brundlund Slotspark: A Proposal for a Culture Park in Aabenraa, Denmark

Abstract

This thesis proposes a culture park in Aabenraa, a small city in the south of Denmark. Today Aabenraa faces many challenges: a high relocation rate, competition from big cities, and cultural institutions that need to be expanded or replaced. In response this project proposes a vibrant cultural landscape for the city at Brundlund Slotspark, a large park in the city center, and revises the existing park landscape and existing buildings. It also relocates some of the city’s cultural institutions to the park and adds new cultural functions. The proposal builds on the city’s own ambition for Brundlund Slotspark to become a cultural center for Aabenraa as well as an attraction nationally and internationally.
