凯旋门。这座纪念碑是为了庆祝南日德兰地区在第一次世界大战后通过公民投票统一到丹麦的历史性100周年而建造的。我们的门户大气而有力的表达方式必须被看作是对原来的大门和100年前发生的事件的记忆的一种物理表现。

Triumphal Arch. This monument was built to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the historic reunification of the region of Southern Jutland to Denmark through a referendum vote after the First World War. The airy and powerful expression of our portal must be seen as a physical manifestation of a memory of the original gate and the event that took place 100 years ago.

拱门被设计成一连串的钢模块,其灵感来自于为庆祝统一而依次安装的拱门,以装饰国王经过的街道。结构的强大主题不断变化,这取决于你从哪里看到这个作品。作为一个无法完全把握的梦,门户的变化,可以同时出现巨大的和多孔的。这是一个物理纪念碑,但它庆祝了一些脆弱和不稳定的东西。

The Arch is designed as a sequence of steel modules inspired by the arches that were installed in sequence to decorate the street were the king was passing to celebrate the reunification. The powerful motif of the structure is constantly changing depending on where you see the work from. As a dream that cannot be fully grasped, the portal changes and can appear both massive and porous at the same time. It’s a physical monument, but it celebrates something fragile and precarious.

庆祝之后的生活。把纪念碑的生命放到一个更大的周期中去思考是最基本的。一个庆祝价值观的纪念碑应该存活在每个人的意识中,不能被认为是短暂的,在庆祝日之后就被处理掉。概念研究的一个重要部分是与科尔丁市政府一起计划将纪念碑运到统一和边境博物馆并进行安装。在这里,随着时间的推移,植物和自然将接管这个纪念碑,直到它变成废墟的领域。

Life after celebration. It’s fundamental to think the life of the monument into a larger cycle. A monument that celebrates values that should survives in everyone consciousness cannot be thought to be ephemeral and disposed after the celebration day. An important part of the concept study was planning together with the municipality of Kolding the transportation and installation of the monument to the Reunification and Border Museum. Here, over time, the plants and nature will take over the monument until it will age into the realm of ruins.
