AREAS OF EXPERTISE HVEM ER JEG?Jeg hedder Johann M. Kjartansson, men mine venner kalder mig Jói. Jeg er en 29 år gammel Islænding, nyuddannet (M.Arch) fra Arkitektskolen i Aarhus. Udover arkitektur interesseremjeg mig for at skrive og spille musik. Det er noget jeg bruge meget af min fritid på og jeg ser det som et supplement og til mit arbejde som arkitekt.

UDADVENDT OG AKTIVAt arbejde som arkitekt hvor man skal samarbejde om at finde kreative løsninger, passer godt til min udadvendte og imødekommende personlighed og er noget jeg har stor glæde af. Under mit studie jeg har lagt vægt på at udvikle mine evner indenfor netop dette at samarbejde ved at vælge gruppe arbejde fremfor en mands projekter og også noget jeg har dyrket i tiden efter min afgang hvor jeg har lavet forskellige projekter og konkurrencer i samarbejd med forhenværende studie kammerater.

ARKITEKTUR SOM LÆRER AF BYENDe sidste tre år som studerende fordybede jeg mig primært i arbejdet med post-industrielle landskaber/situationer med fokus på grænsen mellem byen og disse ofte centralt place-rede områder. Forståelse for de nærliggende og fastgroede urbane strukturer har været et vigtigt undersøgelsesemne og udgangspunkt i mine studier og projekter. Denne viden blev udviklet ved mit praktikforløb hos ADEPT Arkitekter som arbejder meget i krydsfeltet mellem byplanlægning og arkitektur.

Jeg håber at det giver et hurtigt og klart billede af hvem jeg er og vil meget gerne komme forbi for en samtale og høre mere om jeres tegnestue.

Venlig hilsenJohann Magnus Kjartansson

CITY AND HARBOUR ACTIVITY MAP JOURNEYS BETWEEN CITY AND HARBOUR

THE URBAN STRATEGYIn the project I have analysed the Reykjavik harbour masterplan and modified it in a way that in general, the city is allowed to grow out to the harbour space and at 4 specific areas the two enteties merge in a sequence between the two. In these pin-pointed areas, based on registrations of structure, flow/volumes, limits and spatial character and activities on each side, a passage is created where city and harbour merge in a sequence between the two. The resault is four different journeys where one experiences a journey between the logic of the city and the logic of the harbour.

A JOURNEY BETWEEN CITY AND HARBOURThe structure is seen as a shared harbour surface with the market on the city side, the cruise docking on the sea side, flanked by the shared street structure. The harbour courtyard opens up to the city and creates a new passage between city and harbour. The originial idea behind the existing customs building, with a covered harbour space, the docking and the road, is redesigned to merge instead of seperate the harbour from the city. The city gaines a new courtyard, not a city courtyard bounded by vertical walls, but a harbour courtyard bounded by horizontal surfaces.

Studio Open Script

OPEN SCRIPT STORYBOARDThe main goal of the Open Script course was to create an architectural concept from a series of abstract nar-rations, creating storyboard that would be the base of the building program. Divided into scripts focusing on tempo/rhythm, atmosphere and context. Another focus of Open Script was learning methods of teamwork and was the whole project created in collaboration with a fellow student.

THE EXCAVED SCHOOL TO NEST INBy adapting the concepts and spatial qualities of the aggregate scripts, a design proposal for a new School of Architecture in the post-industrial area of the Ceres factory in Aarhus was created. The gradient grid system from the atmospherescript model was used to create a flexible frame for a building and a landscape concept. The temposcript was used to create an interior void around a functions core with the buildings main flow artery, by excaving the 3 dimensional grid system. The resault is a school with a central public flow, a sculpural central core visable from everywhere within, and floor spaces with flexible gradient boundaries that the users can nest themselves to their specific activities.

COMPETITION PROPOSAL FOR A CANAL TRANSFORMATION

www.innosite.dk

PERMANENT USERS The gap is surrounded by

to areas, The IT school and dwellings, Families and Students

are the main users in the gap. Our design proposal focuses on their needs, and performs their

relation to the gap.

CANAL ACTIVITIESOrestad canals are an active part

of the life in the area, out proposal develops the existing activities, and

proposes new ways of using the canal.

INTERMITENT USERS The second group of users are the people walking or biking a long the canal towards the

Metro Station, Schools or Dor-mitories. As well all the people that sails in cayaks or skates in

the winter: the main to activities of the canal.

USER STRATEGY

URBAN STRATEGY

INTERACTION IN A CITY CANAL SPACEThe canal takes the identity of the buildings that surround it, but by itself is a long stream of water which doesnt give opportunities for users to interact, in some parts the canal becomes interesting by buildings that give another atmosphere, but in between them are breaks where nothing happens. We accept the canal as a void in the city; a long strong perspective space that joins the buildings and emphasizes the concept of area. Every part of the canal has it´s own character and reacts according to the buildings and the landscape that surround it.

IT SCHOOL PLATFORMOur proposal introduces different devices for

approaching the water, these elements provide ac-cessibility and furbish the existing platform keeping it´s qualities and improving with shelters which the IT students can use for, studing, relaxing, sitting, or

hanging around in contact with the water.

PLAYGROUND PLATFORMThe playground platform generates a cross interac-tion in the canal, the families, kids and visitors of the

dwelling side of the canal are provided with a dy-namic and playfull space that is specifically designed

to bring activities and flow towards the water.
