URBAN ENVIRONMENT
Looking closer at the city fabric and the different typologies present around the site, a couple of different environments can be observed. Ranging from high dense small city blocks, separated residential long building, low industrial to large city blocks or more recent thick office buildings, the site is in the middle of a large spectrum of different identities (fig 36). A long facade analysis of Nørrebrogade was performed in order to study its heights profile and the balance of its volume versus voids. Clearly, the rhythm of the street and the surrounding block structure are broken (fig 34) and the most recent introduction (1999) of the recessed low commercial building is not an appropriate answer giving the place a blurred character.
