Novel City - Rewriting Stories of Urban and Natural Elements of Silkeborg Part 2 Project 2019 Qirui Liu Aarhus School of Architecture | Denmark In the past decade, our world has gone through major urbanization. The rapid expansionsof cities have gradually blurred cities’ local identity, which makes urban area more andmore alike.This is also a case in Silkeborg. Silkeborg is booming, especially the city centre, however,a conflict between city development and its local identity is emerging.The site is situated in the city centre of Silkeborg in a strip shape along the GudenaRiver. This project attempts to argue the significance of understanding Silkeborg’sindividual identity and cooperating with city expansion, bringing a sense of belonging tousers.To me, a city is like a novel, which has different characters, ups and downs as well astwists. I would present the project in a way of a novel. A step by step to unfold the story. Qirui Liu Tutor(s)
