BIG's proposal, called The Impact, aims to redesign three plazas in Ørestad by merging over 50,000 square meters into an interconnected landscape. This project replaces paved voids with a terrain designed for daily life, play, and performances. The design reveals layers beneath the surface, incorporating wetlands, local flora, and public art. A central sculptural 'crack' serves as a connecting feature, unifying the three plazas and promoting interaction with nature and culture. The approach emphasizes breaking open urban surfaces to create space for life and community engagement.
At its core, a sculptural 'crack' runs like a fault line across the site, linking the three plazas. This glowing incision becomes the connective tissue that transforms fragmented urban surfaces into a unified public domain.
The Impact replaces the area's paved voids with a living, breathing terrain designed to support daily life, spontaneous play, and large-scale performances alike.
With The Impact, we have taken an approach that breaks open the perfect, finished surfaces of the city like a meteor strike, creating space for all forms of life, plants and animals, nature and culture.
