Where, where have you chosen for us to visit?
13:04
Yeah, so we had a conversation in the community about what could be a place to unfold some of these questions of who are we building for and with, and who are considered in, in architecture and also in urban spaces.
13:19
And also, we wanted to go to a place fo- most of all, it has the history of being a people's park, which was a, a kind of radical change in, in Denmark at that time, in the early 20th century, where the workers movement put political pressure on insisting on the possibility to rest and access to, to nature and to, to kind of, uh, free time.
13:46
But it's also a place which, um, makes it possible for a lot of people to gather and to, for example, protest.
13:54
That history and also that, that possibility, uh, distinguishes Fælledparken from many other parks, because there are a lot of very, um, creative, very, uh, sensory, very interesting other types of parks in Copenhagen and beyond.
14:11
Um, a lot of studios in Denmark or, uh, offices are working with landscape, but we wanted to address it through a social lens.

How, how do you wrestle with that?
23:58
Yeah, it's exactly like, um, no space can be designed for, for everybody, and the importance, again, is to, to center who is it that might not have access, whether it's physical or more of a neuro, uh, cognitive, sensory.
