Where do you belong? It is a simple question, but not necessarily one with a straightforward answer. Over the past two years, Aalborg University (Denmark) has closely followed the work and development at the eight demonstration sites of the New European Bauhaus lighthouse project, Desire.
These sites have each told their own unique, place-specific stories. Now, the researchers have compiled these narratives into a white paper, which was presented by postdoc Olivia Thomassen Harre at the Desire conference on September 10, 2024, in Copenhagen.
Watch the video to gain insight into the stories and the methodology.
The narratives focus on three main aspects: understanding the current state, uncovering the processes and activities, and envisioning future possibilities. By using different lenses derived from landscape architecture and orientation, we capture the uniqueness of each demonstration site. These lenses, accompanied by text, images, and maps, help the reader understand the diversity and scale of the sites.
