10.23.09 | New York, NY | FXFOWLE is the recipient of the 2009 World Architecture News (WAN) Urban Design Award for the redevelopment plan for Copenhagen's Nordhavnen peninsula.

The project, "Nordhavnen: City Regenerative," was created in FXFOWLE's Urban Studio as a response to an international competition to define a dynamic, unique, and sustainable city district poised for growth over the next fifty years. The project connects urban infrastructure, extends existing water networks, and weaves open
space through a series of neighborhoods and commercial nodes. It establishes a sustainable pattern of development; including mixed-uses, GBM modular housing (Global Building Modules), integration of natural systems with infrastructure, and a series of iconic urban farming towers powered by localized waste-water purification systems.
