After the closure of the mines, the area, due to its scenic qualities, became increasingly popular with visitors. Now the Dark Line is a part of the tourism infrastructure emphasising the area's industrial heritage. The Dark Line is a generous, confident and yet careful intervention that materialises through a sequence of uniquely moulded rebars. The choice of the material fits the postindustrial site and handles all topographical anatomies, the site's historical charge and its purpose seemingly effortlessly. Complementing the lush green vegetation, the dark brown steel carries a dense atmosphere along the former railway and beautifully balances the transitional character of this space with a sequence of ambiences where one can stop, rest and observe. From a phenomenological perspective, the rebars are, essentially, materialised cross-sections that outline the elements such as fences, benches, and pavement. Elements are described by shaping the rebars as if they exist only through a series of descriptions. Besides the well-crafted material, the jury appreciates how masterfully the designers embraced and responded to simple spatial facts that often go ignored in landscape architecture, those concerning the shifting conditions of light, surrounding vegetation, morphology and cultural memory. The jury finds the Dark Line project as a sublime intervention that respects the local ecology and greatly enriches the site's functional, historical and aesthetical dimensions with incredible charisma and grace. ]]> https://landezine.com/the-dark-line-by-michelemiquel-and-da-vision-design/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/esbjergs-maritime-center-by-werk/ https://landezine.com/esbjergs-maritime-center-by-werk/#respond Wed, 05 Jul 2023 12:31:18 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=96273 Esbjerg’s Maritime Center: a new landmark lighting up the Danish West Coast In the seaport town Esbjerg on the Danish west coast, a new maritime center has opened to the public.
