Assignment for Søren Jensen Engineers to document the construction in 2011 and completion in 2012 of Godsbanen / The Freight Yard, Aarhus, Denmark by 3XN Architects & Søren Jensen. The building is a centre for cultural production in Aarhus containing workshops, studios, theatre stages, auditoriums and a restaurant. The buildings used to host one of Denmark’s largest train freight yards and the new roof is open access allowing the visitors to walk over the building and get a panoramic view of the city including Your Rainbow Panorama and the Hothouse at the botanical gardens. More photos from this shoot

These images show the construction, as of June 2011, for a new cultural hub for scenography, visual arts and literature named Godsbanen /The Freight Yard Project that is being built within a historical framework in Denmark’s second largest city, Aarhus. The new cultural center is meant to be an inspiring setting that stimulates production of the arts and facilitates the interaction amongst the various artistic metiers, business and education.

The project design by Architects 3XN in collaboration with Søren Jensen Engineers is comprised of the renovation of the existing freight halls along with a new building with rooms and large scale auditoria. The roof of the building will appear as an extension of the green space – and will take the form of a green ‘carpet’ over the new building.  The project is expected to be completed in 2012.

This building which opened in 2009 inspired by the Maggie’s Centres in the UK is the Danish Cancer Society’s first new non-institutional counselling centre. The new counselling centre known as Hejmdal or Cancer Patients House is designed by Architect Gehry Partners & Engineer Søren Jensen. The project is a renovation of an existing 1908 building, designed by the Danish architect Rudolf Clausen, which serves as a gateway to the Aarhus Hospital campus.

The design maintains the existing historic house walls and windows and inserts two new floor levels above the expanded lower level of the house. These floors are supported independently from the existing exterior walls creating an uninterrupted space, or canyon, allowing natural light from the new glass roof to reach all levels of the house.

The preservation of the existing masonry facades is achieved by the use of 45x45cm solid Douglas Fir members for both the new glazed new roof and a highly unusual timber structure inserted into the building posed significant engineering challenges.

These photos were commissioned by the engineering firm of the project: Søren Jensen
