An
innovative, environmentally sustainable structure that serves as both a
rainwater management system and noise barrier
was installed in a busy neighborhood in Copenhagen, Denmark. Not only
does the system help to prevent rain from overflowing the city's
drainage systems (its primary purpose), but it also mitigates noise
pollution and preserves the city's green space.
In
this video, we meet four key members of the multidisciplinary team
behind the structure's design, including Marina Bergen Jensen, a professor of landscape architecture and planning at the
University of Copenhagen; Tim Larsen, a simulation specialist; Vibe Gro,
co-owner of PileByg; and Kristoffer Ulbak, a civil engineer and
hydraulics specialist. They explain how the structure
works as well as how its design was made possible using a holistic
collaborative approach that relied on multiphysics simulation.
