Abstract
Superkilen Park, located in Copenhagen, Denmark has a unique approach towards inclusivity and participation. Made up of an assemblage of objects from over 60 countries, representing the local array of immigrant populations in the Norrebro neighborhood, this park addresses integration and unity in both a literal and symbolic way. These cultural objects, however, implemented to represent a diverse local population, currently offer only a passive form of inclusivity. The need for active forms of inclusivity at Superkilen Park presents an opportunity to implement culturally-specific programming to better engage the community of Norrebro, initiating a shift from static objects to active, time-based experiences. This thesis analyzes the sensory experience of the park through observational methods to propose how Superkilen can be transformed. Constructing responsive frameworks to support the programmatic interventions will help create a more inclusive space for the locals, especially immigrant diasporas, and aid in the effort of place-making.
