Ny Kirke Højvangen

The Church is envisioned as a space for gathering, reflection, and connection for people from diverse backgrounds. At the heart of the common hall lies a circular seating arrangement, designed in a democratic and balanced way to encourage participation, dialogue, and the sharing of opinions. The overall layout, detailing, and passive shading strategies are shaped by behavioural research and refined through advanced simulation techniques.

Passive Shading System

The design process behind the passive shader s consists of multiple grasshopper parametric simulations.

Passive Shading System

Each of the options have a specific construction technique while providing sufficient daylight within the space.

Interior View from main entrance

This view intends on showing the sufficiency of the daylight within the space and the asthetics of the screens.

Interior View from standing point

This view intends on showing the sufficiency of the daylight within the space and the asthetics of the screens.

Glare Simulations & Analysis

The overall aim of the studies is to maintain a balance and coherency between the daylight availability and glare min.

Daylight factor and autonomy

Daylight factor is the ratio of light inside the building to the light outside the building under an overcast sky.
