This study examines the implementation possibilities of noise reduction technologies in Copenhagen. We are focusing on the urban space Kongens Nytorv by researching how noise is affecting the use of the square. Kongens Nytorv is a big open space with heavy traffic surrounding it that produces heavy noise. By using different observations methods and social theories we will make a purpose for implementation of noise reduction technologies to strengthen the usage of the square as a place of residence for users. This will be done through the development of several different design proposals, whose

This project deals with the physical elements in urban open spaces, public involvement, and the relations within the metropolis. The project shall investigate how an already existing urban open space can be transformed and re-designed. Through empirical methods and urban open space theories from Jan Gehl and Georg Simmel we have worked with our case, which is Bavnehøj Allé. The idea behind the project is to collect information and understand what creates urban open spaces.
