 LOCO PROPOSES A PUBLIC SPACE OVER   A FUNCTIONING RAIL-YARD IN DENMARK   FOR A POST-COVID WORLD 

AARHUS, DENMARK

LOCO ENVISIONS A POST-COVID FUTURE FOR THE CITY OF AARHUS (DENMARK'S SECOND LARGEST CITY) WITH A PROPOSAL TO COVER UP A "WASTED SPACE" AND GIVE IT BACK TO ITS RESIDENTS.

AARHUS' FUNCTIONING RAIL-YARD IS SOON TO UNDERGO WORKS TO ELECTRIFY ITS RAILS AND REPLACE IT'S DIESEL BASED TRAINS, WHICH MEANS THIS IS A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE BACK A SIGNIFICANT "WASTE-LAND" THAT DIVIDES THE URBAN CENTRE AND TURN IT INTO THE BREATHING LUNGS OF THE CITY. ONE THAT LISTENS TO ITS RESIDENTS AND GIVES HOPE FOR A BETTER FUTURE, WITH A BRAND NEW YARD.
