Aarhus Student Housing
The recently developed area located in the northern part of the Aarhus harbour, formerly home to the city’s container terminal, is the setting for a number of residential towers, with programs ranging from luxury apartments to student housing. Aarhus Student Housing, a project developed and realized by Australian firm Terroir and Aarhus-based Cubo Arkitekter that has been nicknamed “Vulkanen” (“the volcano”), is set in this context and belongs to the less glamorous but no less important of these residential typologies: youth housing.
In a historical context, social housing and the existence of social welfare within the built environment lies at the core of what is widely labelled “Nordic architecture.” Time and again, acknowledging the importance of social housing and the social responsibility of the architect has been an essential part of the agenda of the masterpieces of Nordic modernism and, it could be argued, this new addition to Denmark’s second largest city sits within this tradition.
