Can placing a park on top of a serpentine-shaped building, create a sense of community?
Basecamp Lyngby is a socially interacting super structure that functions as a sustainable shared living community for 900 students, PhDs and senior citizens.
The organic structure is inspired by the surrounding green area and a desire to bring people closer to the nature, and motivate them to interact with it and with one another.
The organic volume is playfully wrapped around smaller courtyards, creating well defined intimate spaces for people to meet, read or simply enjoy life.
The central round shaped building is the heart of the area. It visually reinforces the structure and interlinks the entire area by bringing together all the shared features such as the café, the gym, workshops, a cinema, and a library.
