KRADS GETS "HONORABLE MENTION"
KRADS is awarded "honorable mention" in the competition "Nyt liv i bykirken". We participated at a crowded award ceremony at Gethsemane Church wednesday afternoon.
EXTRACT FROM THE COMPETITION TEXT.
THE CHURCH WITHIN THE CITY & THE CITY WITHIN THE CHURCH
The city church is evolving - not under closure... The future offers a strong relation between the cityscape and the internal space of the church. The activity and life within the church should reflect the surrounding society. The church will contribute to the multiplicity and balance of society in a positive manner. The contribution is based on the idea of openness and the basic compassionate values and principles of the church. The space and function of the church is not under closure but is evolving in sync with it’s surroundings.
A focus on open-mindedness, humanity within the church and the dynamics and diversity of the city, will position the modern city church as a cultural hub and again include it in the social and cultural awareness of the citizens. The city church is a historically founded asset in the future evolution of the city.
Based on the qualities of the city and the church, future relations between Lithauns Square and Gethsemane Church will blossom. Lithauns Square, partly sport grounds and partly a park, has direct physical relations to the nearby elementary school and recreation center. Lithauns Square is bussing with activity and reflects the diversity of Vesterbro.
Gethsemane Church is situated just next to Lithauns Square. The physical and mental boundary between church and square can nevertheless seem difficult to overcome. If the boundaries are overcome a new field of possibilities emerges and relations between city and church will blossom and the two will nourish each other.

We were one team amongst five who was pre-qualified. We are sorry to say that our team did not win the competition, the winning team was the great architects of ADEPT and LiW Planning.
Our propocal was to create the perfect hole for movement / flow next to the metro station. This would be one in a sequence of four new urban spaces in what could become the new Måløv Aksis. The hole would be covered in asphalt in a flow based organic shape, with white mega graphics of thermal plast. The tree other spaces in the sequence would be the city parkingPARK, the SHOPPINGstreet and the urbanFORREST.
