What is unique about Amager, is it’s vastness. Without a direction, there is no guide as to where to go to, and a lot of qualities are lost to people who dare not enter the park without a clear aim. 

 

This project aims to bring these qualities to the people who are hesitant to go cross the fence. It is sought to do this by implementing a number of key interventions down along the strip that comes along immediately after the last metro stop on Vestamager. These interventions will bring a new entrance, a purpose, a range of interesting path systems, and an end destination. 

 

Along this process, various stages of human interaction with nature is explored, offering experiences with nature that has spaces for contemplation along the way. 

 

One of the interventions, a matrix of fields, supplies a series of possible uses for scientific research in vegetation and their hydrological conditions. The outcome of this research might hopefully shed some light on which plants that do well under a certain climate, and it might also shed some light of what to expect, should climate conditions worsen, and the bodies of water exceed their boundaries.
